Choppas or Clubs are a main Ork close combat weapon - large, heavy and deadly in Ork hands, they usually take the form of an axe or a broad knife, but can take almost any form - from chain-choppas, crude Ork equivalents of other races' chainswords, to a huge rusty pipes equipped with additional spikes for extra damage. Not really choosy, Orks consider anything they can cut their enemies to pieces with as a choppa. They seem to be so greatly integrated into Ork psyche, so even the most dim-witted Ork can fashion them. Choppas are one-handed weapons and are ofthen used in pair with Sluggas. Mobs of Slugga&Choppa wielding Orks are known as Slugga Boys.1, 3
Knives and Knuckles
No self-respecting Ork would be caught without some form form of a weapon: big knife or a set of heavy knuckles is an essential item in Ork society. Even Grots equip themselves with carefully honed little fungus knives they use to defend themselves. In fact, many Ork brewhouses and shops won't even let Orks without some form of weapon in, so that they won't be a liability if (ie, when) a fight breaks out.3
Chains and Flails
Chains and crude flails are not as popular as other Ork weapons, but some Boys fancy them for their advantages - they are great for wacking opponents from speeding vehicles and they can't be blocked. However, some unexperienced Yoofs can wrap the weapon around their neck, doing more damage to themselves then the enemy.3
Spears
Spears lack bone-splintering crunchiness of more commom Ork weapons, but instead they give their user the advantage in reach, and can be chucked in enemy in attempt to to hurt him. 3
