It makes sense the a nob mob that then takes bikes will maintain 2 wounds per model; and it is shown in boys mobs, that if you take a nob upgrade that the nob has 2 wounds.

However; if you take a biker mob, and then upgrade one to a nob, the army list only shows it with one wound. Is this yet another famous GW typo? How would you play it? Could you argue that it should have two? Could you argue that full nob biker mobs should only have one? AB naturally takes the middle road, and does it just as written, and provides you with two different types of nob bikers (one with 2 wounds, and one with 1 wound - depending on how he is selected).

You make da call!

I would argue that the warbike Nob upgrade is a typo.

Every Nob upgrade sans this one has 2 wounds which leads me to believe that it's a typo.

I suspect its a typo too however untill such time as GW comes out and states this then biker nobs do indeed have 1 wound if you play by RAW.

Naturally you can always agree with your local oponents that they have 2 wounds just like any nob but thats upp to you

Lots of folks think this is a typo, including the INAT FAQ writers. I don't run this unit in my ork army, but I agree that it should be played with two wounds.

Nobs never have 1 wound. Never have, never will.

Does it say 1W on both the army list entry and the reference sheet at the back?

Ork biker nobs are only mentioned in the army list.

In the description only the standard ork biker is stated out and there is no ork biker nob listed in the reference sheet at the back.

There are actually no special tyles of nobs listed in the reference sheet at all apart from nobs and meganobs.

**lolzman**

well it makes sense what happens if a space marine sheell for example hits the bike first blowing up the bike and the rider....becuase the bike is bigger than the nob itself

If you are going to perform threadnecromancy, at least add that the GW FAQ have taken care of the problem.
