Hi guys
I have been working on my classic chaos dwarf army for some time and I noticed I really don’t have any models with “handweapon & shields” as all the classics (4th-5th ed plastics and metal warriors) either have a great weapon or a blunderbuss.
Does anybody have an idea how I could convert some of them to “handweapon & shield”?
Abecedar:
most 4th Ed’ stalwarts have the normal warriors ( they do have large axes I admit) with shields. the biggest problem is fitting them on 20mm bases with the shields added. I use mine as warriors with great weapons just as a preference for WYSIWYG.

I was wondering if someone had a simple idea to convert some of them to handweapons in a less destructive way.

Are we talking these guys I don’t know version numbers
if so i would cut off the bottom of the ax a little below the right hand.
then add a version 5 dwarf ax or maybe an chaos warrior ax
then put a shield in the right hand or on you can keep the ax and ad a shield to his back
cornixt:
The huge scale of the plastic CDs is such that even regular axe taken from another model will look tiny, I’ve tried it myself.
You could remove the hand holding the big axe and put a shield over the damage, then squeeze the small axe into his left hand

Thanks for the reactions. I’ll try all the suggestions.
