| Inquisitorial Storm Troopers are cut apart by a group of Ork Nobz |
Ork Nobz. These guys are the big hitters. 3-10 per group, Coming in at 20 pts. a pop these are not bad on price, but what you get with the price is what matters. WS:4 BS:2 S:4 T:4 W:2 I:3 A:3 Ld:7 Sv:6+. Wait that can't be right, a 2 wound 20 pt model? Yes that's right, 2 Wound 20 point models, with 3 attacks (not including close combat weapons.) There are some downsides, such as only I:3, but all Orks have low I. Don't forget the Ld. 7 and Sv. of only 6+ You say. I say in return, that those states are deciving you. You see, Ork Nobz have a little something called upgrades, and with a lot of them too! I'll run through the ones that are actually Important, as all the other upgrades in my opinion are crap.
Nob Bikers: +25 points, gives the Nob a bike and all the other rules involving bikes with it. Thoughts: I like this upgrade, though very expensive, a squad of Nob bikers is one of the games best units. Increasing the Nobz Toughness to 5, and giving them a 4+ invulnerable save, it's worth every point.
Big Choppa: +5 points, CCW that adds +2 to the Nobz strength. Thoughts: I personally like this upgrade, as it pumps up the nob to effectivly 7 S. on the charge, and is a cheap way of allowing your Nobz to smash light vehicles.
Power Klaw: +25 points, power fist. Thoughts: A must have in Nob Squads, It allows the Nobz to Wreck anything they are up against, I use this upgrade in every Nob Squad I have ever run. There are pages upon pages of people simply writing Ork Tacticas centered around this single piece of gear.
'Eavy armour: +5 points, 4+ save Thoughts: Good, good, a decent piece of wargear to spend on if you have the points remaining.
WAAAGH! Banner: +15 points, +1 WS to all models in the squad. Thoughts: I have seen friends use this to great extent, and it is a piece of wargear that is very good at pumping up states at a very cheap price.
Painboy: +30 points, upgrades a single Nob to a Painboy, giving every Nob in the Squad feel no pain.
Thoughts: Another must have, Feel no pain is a great ability giving you a second armor save. It is wonderful upgrade for you newbies out there who are playing against other n00bs as when you plop down your uber awesome nob invincibel (lol I can't spell) squad nothing will stand in your way (Que evil manic laughter) No but seriously these guys rock.
Cybork body: +5 points, 5+ Inv. save. Thoughts: Another way to protect your Nobz.
Overview: Nobz are a great unit and probably the best elite option in the Ork codex, If you don't have a squad of them, Get some now.
