So I was reading this thread http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/371221.page" target="_new" rel="nofollow"> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/371221.page and it got me thinking about Big Choppas as an option for Warbosses.

At their current cost they are a deal, but when I'm building WB lists I find that giving up S10 with no saves just isn't worth the points saved.

So I thought, what would make a Big Choppa worth while for me, and the answer: Rending.

I'd say that for a WB only upgrade you should be able to pay 15 pts and get a Big Choppa with Rending.

On that note, what about a regular Choppa with Rending for 10 pts (again WB only, don't want Nobz spamming them)

Thoughts, comments, criticism?

Does sound interesting. It would certainly make sense I suppose fluffwise since the warboss probably reserves the biggest, loudest, and choppiest of all choppas for himself. It would be pretty nasty to have a biker boss with a rending big choppa

Considering that the old choppa's reduced max armor save for everyone else to 4+, rending should be just fine for WB AND nobz choppas. Fluff wise we are already way behind what the ork's used to be able to accomplish.

Hacking through Termies with 9 point boyz was the best!!!

I think the old Heavy CC weapons were a bit too silly (imo they should have counted as AP5 or something). Rending for all nobz though also sounds a bit silly as explained by OP since nobz are already one of the better units for orks
