Yeah, you won't squish guardsmen any harder, of course, but, well, what's the rest of your army doing? If you have a mob of 30 sluggas, what's a big choppa really adding to the squad that 30 regular choppas can't already handle?

The diminishing return is a lot stronger when you consider quantity of weapons than it is considering the increase in quality.

The problem with big choppas has always been that they don't distinguish themselves enough from regular choppas to bother taking at all when choppas are free, and they're not as good as the klaws that you'd actually spend points on because they're actually better.

I guess with the exception being a nob squad (can they still take regular choppas?) where you don't want EVERYTHING at I1, but even then...

Hey if this guy want to field some big choppas and make buzz sound and laught as maniac weird boy in the process then is alright, even if the power klay can make more human juice than the big choppa, the last look pretty scary and awson too, and if it s wehicles what you want to kill the new killsaw is the weapon, throw a mek or big mek witha killsaw to wreck any tank or walker you face, it is better with the big mek because you gonna have 4 s9 ap2 armourbane attacks on the charge, its a death sentence even for a landraider
