Talking About Orks - Meganobz

Meganobz are a borderline unit. Can be very effective, but they are handicapped by the very limited wargear options.

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.

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!

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

[Da40kOrks]

@beeverification minimum of 3

[minecraftmonk99]

Could you make a recording of one of your games?

[Diap2012]

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

@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
