Why not pluck boulders from space and toss them at your enemies? You hurl a big enough rock at a city and you have all of the effects of a high yield nuke without all of that messy radiation to deal with...

Check out the scifi novel “Footfall” for that very scenario.

Actually it would not be that hard to do with a near earth asteroid. You could actually steer a "planet killer" at the earth. If you "push" the asteroid slightly when it is far out in its orbit it would not take a great deal of energy to put it on a trajectory to impact the earth. A 5 kilometer asteroid would do us all in.
