<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Big Choppa conversions?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Big Choppa conversions?
I am currently working on my AOBR nobs and I was thinking about converting few of their choppas into Big choppas. Here's what I tried so far:



(just added a spike to the tip and extended the handle, but hey, its my first try ever)

Still I'm afraid the choppa is not big enough So I'm wondering... Should I get more AOBR nobs and use blade of the same choppa to make it double-edged? Or perhaps I could use the standard boy chain-choppa from boyz box (http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Image:sprue-ork-boyz02 first choppa in the second row), but wouldn't it look bit too weedy then?

Any suggestions (or pictures of own converted big choppas) are welcome! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146403.page GMT Big Choppa conversions?

I did the same thing until I got around to buying more nobz. They are a great deal larger then a normal axe, so easily could count as a big choppa. I think yours is fin as it is. If you want to make it bigger and doubled edged go for it.
But on a side note, did you spray your minis with gloss paint?

And I only painted it with Chaos black undercoat so far... The camera flash made it look "glossy" ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146510.page GMT Big Choppa conversions? looks more dangerous.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1146695.page GMT Big Choppa conversions?

Thank you The conversion is indeed very simple - both the pointy bit and the handle is made out of sprue leftovers

But Im rather pleased with the way it goes well together, especially the handle

They're also effectively daggers and short swords on big poles. Make it look like it takes 2 hands to wield properly and it'll feel like a much bigger weapon. I think you've managed that simply and effectively.


True that; I guess that choppa I made would probably be used in a halbert-like fashion And thanks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1147325.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/267574/1147325.page GMT
