I have just put together an ork army, and i am using army builder to make an army, but i am really baffled how my command squad ends up at 500 pts. 1 warboss 5 nobz and a trukk. *currently working on gettting army list on here*
hmm well theres 1 problem, army builder is counting my 5 nobz as 10 (-100) and my trukk is 51 pts
i was also trying to make an ork army in army builder and i get the same problem i guess you'll have to do it with pen and paper or just wait for an update (thats what im doing)
you could maybe try sendind an email to the compamy who made it but they probably all ready know
I've personally never used nobs all that much. Stick my warboss in with a unit of boarboyz that got doped up by the pigdok, now THAT's a thing to do...
Although, I have been considering a possible tactic for a 'nilla list. You get a warboss, a pain boss with a truck, and 8 cyborks. The cyborks are 7 points cheaper then a nob (and you don't have to pay the additional 3 points to arm them with a slugga and choppa), have the same strength, and a higher toughness (weeeeeeeee!) as well as their invuln save. You have the boss roll up the line surrounded by three units of trukkboyz and his empty wartrukk and you see what all will happen.
Part of the reason I dislike taking nobs in a retinue is the simple fact that they come nekkid. No weapons, no armour, no nothing. Just a group of tuffs. Hopefully that'll be something they'll fix in the new codex, if/when it comes out.
Well I do love my warboss and his strength 10 power claw shots so I normaly just take him and put him in with my painboss it frees up a lot more points to take more squads of boyz and kans, kans, kans.
They can be, specialy if you get the waagh roll and go into cc at int 6 yeah. I take a nobz in every unit I have and a few with my warboss. But I like cyborks better.
I've got no problem using Nobs in mobs (even my hunta get a nob with a burna, so that any assaulting unit is going to get some power-weapon hits going its way). I just don't like gettin a large number of nobs in my warboss' retinue. Like I said before, those nobs show up nekkid and cost a few extra points to add up.
This is especially true for my boss, since I end up having to spend an extra few points to get all of the nobs on their cyboars. So, yeah. Up-grade nobs equal teh good, regular nobs equal teh bad.
But that's just my opinion, and I do play a different sorta orks then the majority, so maybe it doesn't count. ^_^
Its too bad you cant split them with some skarboyz or something. Like the DE when you can put some Inucbi and warriors in with the archon that would rock.
I actually wouldn't mind being able to do that with some of the other oddboyz (mekboyz and painboss).
The problem with that is that the Klan lists let you do that already, you just lose the nob. So i guess you can't always get what you want.
