Talking About Orks - Meganobz

[minecraftmonk99]

Could you make a recording of one of your games?

[Diap2012]

if you think about it terminators and megnobz are the same points

[dragonstormx]

Stuck at leadership 7, what about the Ork mob rule that makes their leadership equal to their number?

[Da40kOrks]

@dragonstormx Because fielded in numbers high enough to matter, they become a huge points sink, and not worth taking. Plus you if you want to use a trukk, they are stuck at LD7 (without an IC) and no bosspole.

[9jamesrugbykid5]

A standard Nob with a powerclaw is 45pts with nothing else (6+ armour save) whereas a meganob is 40pts.

"Da40kOrks" has made some valid points however:

They are better than a terminator as well because they get more attacks than a r and they have two wounds.

Also what's wrong with Mad Dok Grotsnik if he is in the unit you get feel no pain and an invulnerable save if you pay for it and a 2+ invulnerable in fact a meganob with an invulnerable save is the same points as a nob with powerclaw.

[Da40kOrks]

@9jamesrugbykid5 Meganobs are better then shooty terminators, but can't compare to TH/SS termies.

For one, mad doc makes them uncontrollable..even in a vehicle. Mad doc's rule is far worse then the rage USR.

Second, meganobs don't have access to a waggh! banner nor can they be wound allocated in large numbers. That WS5 makes such a huge difference!

[beeverification]

i have 2 meganobs so far but how many are in a unit

[Da40kOrks]

@beeverification minimum of 3

[expert666666]

pack of 9 in a battewagon with gharzkhul. that kills. i absolutlely shred my freinds blood angels with thoose guys. death company, and the whirlwinds that he brings to combat ne don't know what hit them.

[greencow12]

@expert666666 ya this unit is good but if you drop one nob and add grotsnik then they can have feal no pain and you could give them cybork body and that would only be 45 per mode so thats pritty good

[bigmeknurgle]

Another thing model-wise, most people convert theirs with plasticard framing from AobR nobz. I doubt we'll get a plastic kit for them anytime soon, and I hope we dont. With so few options right now it'll make for a really boring kit. When the Ork codex is NEXT redone, hopefully they'll have a lot more options, and THATS when we will get an awesome kit thats loaded with parts, more akin to the Nob box. Plastic meganobs would be handy now, but disappointing later.

[osmanpineda]

they should be 5 to a box of $35. plastic.

[metallica4everash]

thanks for all your videos, they have helped me with my orks soo much

[cld1472]

ur complaining about 40 points a model... a nob is 20 points give him a 25 point power klaw and 'eavy armor and thats 50 points for 1 model, no offense just find it funny when our troops cost 3 points each 6 points each and 10 points each

[DrCrypt13]

Gazzgull and mega nobs (which then count as troops) in a trukk is a devastating unit ! yes avoid high speed units with power weapon eg banshees. This combo works with a warboss in mega armour too if you want to save points from Gaz. I never play without them, always does good.

[StarwarsGeek10]

Are these good or should I just forget them and go with somethin' else?

[KillKrazy666]

they are okay but you would be better with regular nobs

[Namelessman102]

i found a perfect way to make mega nobz! get terminators take out their heads put ork heads and! put some orkish guns and BAM meganobz

[Isthisthelongestname]

if your that cheap...erm...get a job!

[Namelessman102]

@Isthisthelongestname its not that im poor its that why would i spend more money on something i can get for less? not to mention i get to work on my conversion skills so think first then comment

[wargamesanorak]

I think meganobz are hard to use with their slow movement so either need to be in some sort of transport or be used to hold an important objective as they can be hard to shift.

I have both new and old models and have to say I prefer the old Bad Moons ones as models !

[BloodRending]

rofl @ ld 7

[facewarping95]

i aint got any meganobz..... yet i just blew my money on a deffrolla but ts worth it next model will either be a couple a meganobz or a shokk attak gun and nice paintin

[RetributionAngel]

i once ran a squad of 10 + kff mek in a 1000 point game & they did all the killing xD

Meganobz are just evil!!! I hate faceing them

[Death2728]

Why do you have to keep them away from Power weapons if they have a 2+ save? do Power weapons negate saves?

[Da40kOrks]

Yes, power weapons ignore armor saves

[Number1GamerAsh]

i dont know i think their a bit of a point sink i would rather take nobs on bikeS !!!!! then you get alot more okay you pay a little more deepending on the amouint you take but still with a warboss they become troops so take the objectives

[Da40kOrks]

Nob bikers will be covered in nob video

Yes, good point meganobz can be taken as a troops choice with a warboss or Ghazzy

[tango1169]

meganobz troop choice for taking and being hard to shift from objectives??

[Da40kOrks]

Good idea! 2+ armor and 3+ cover with going to ground!

[tango1169]

also take mad dok grotsnik for 5+ invulnerable if needed!!!

shame about the waaagh banner tho ws5 is sexy on nobz... but you underate meganobz, a standard nob with 6+ save and power claw is more points and doesnt have the twin linked shoota! when used correctly meganobz are better than standard nobz at what they do, saying that though normal nobz are much more versatile, depends on your play style.

[Da40kOrks]

Good points. Overall with a regular nob unit after all the big choppas and whatnots it comes out pretty close to meganobs in cost. My 10 man unit I took to 'ard boys was 430pts. That is only 2 pk's vs 10 in the meganobz but with I4 on the charge Nobs with big choppas are still very, very good.

[masterowen45]

ive got 9 meganobz and gazzkull, there worst enermy are vindicators!

[tango1169]

lmao dual lash chaos army with vindicators are down right cheesy against any one anyway.

pure filthy blue cheese

[Da40kOrks]

I hate blue cheese ~~

[BloodRending]

indeed

[daviddillabough]

i use 3 meganobz and ghazghkull thraka loaded in a battlewagon. they have never let me down yet :)

[fantacy2is2mi5life]

if i wer toconvert nobs to mega nobs how meny cod i take in 1500 pts with 2 units of boyz and a war boss with the required wargeer to keep am alive soz iv only played 40k twise and im finking of starting an orc army :D
