Hi All!

Two very quick question about the Ork Nobz kit from a non-Ork player ...

1) Do the giant axes held by the right hands of the Nobz count as "choppas" or "big choppas"?

2) Are the two-handed pole "axes" in the kit ... Kill saws?

Again, total non-Ork player, but any help appreciated!

As with anything Ork, there's some wiggle room as to what everything is since the range is inconstant.

The two handed axes are big choppas, while the single hand axes are regular choppas.

So to answer question 1 - choppas.

Question 2 - this kit way predates the killsaw model, which looks like a power klaw with a sawblade instead of fingers, so that's just a scary looking big choppa. If you'd want a killsaw modifying a power klaw with the saw pieces would be a good fit (and I think there's a saw arm in there as well)

Side note, there's also a harpoon arm with no bespoke rules / profile. It's a good example of you can kinda make anything you want as an ork player. As long as you're clear what's what with your opponent it should be fine.

There are 5x Choppas which are held in a single hand. There are 3 Big Choppas that are held in two hands, but one is held resting on the shoulder with a "shaking fist" arm paired to it.

The killsaw is the arm with a Buzzsaw bionik attachment.

Also the harpoon arm is I believed called a Power Stabba
