Last year I built a series of four awesome Mega Nobz (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/260712.page) that I was pretty proud of. But I wanted to have a full squad at my disposal, and didn't want to spend $20x6 models to get it. So, I built some more by heavily converting 6 AoBR Nobz. I just finished the modeling, and thought I'd share. All are equipped with combi-skorchas, and will be painted a bit like Domo Kun. Brown, with those top searchlights as the eyes.








Here are some pics of the combi-skorchas that I built:


3 like this. This design is really easy. It's an AoBR warboss twin linked shooter, with the lower barrel removed, and replaced with a SM flamer:


Their backs all look like this. It's a bit from the Chemical Pant model (http://www.thewarstore.com/product18602.html), as are various other little bits.


All but one of the PK's are scratch:


Not a bad looking crew:


I fielded them for the first time last weekend, and they worked very well against the Tyranid. I fielded 5 of them in a trukk with a mega armor warboss. Lots of points, but pretty unstoppable.

Hope you all like them and are inspired to build you own! I have more WIP pix if you want to see how any of the work was done.

Those look quite menacing. I especially like the combi-scorcha made out of a flamer.

Now go and paint them!

You can never beat the old ork saying, SEND IN MOAR BOYZ!

I can't wait to see these painted. I've always wanted meganobz but are they twenty dollars each?

For sure! And a full squad of 10 Sv 2+, 2W models with PK is brutal. If they get the assault, that's ~40 S9, WS4 attacks!

Very cool, can't wait to see the whole unit painted and ready for combat.

Looking good! few people seem inclined to pay for the poor old meganobz...

excellent conversions! These are going to look great once you begin painting them!

Excellent work!

What an upgrade for those AoBR Nobz!

I would like to see these guys painted.
