I love the low model count... I think this might be interesting if nothing else.

Seems to me that the model count is low, but you have to do 6 wounds in the bork squads to make them check... The 30 boys following suit are pretty tasty as well.

I just want to run orks without the grind of moving all 120 boyz... then CC taking ALL DAY.

The idea sounds good for a friendly list, but I think the execution could be better.

Without 1-2 PKs in each Nob squad, you'll struggle against lots of opponents. Spend those points, get at least 1 per squad, preferably 2. You can afford to drop some big choppas, too. Also, grot orderlies for the Painboys are a bargain. Get them.

What's the use of the 30 boy foot mob? By the time they get there, the party will be over one way or another. A couple of Trukk mobs would be better, or even just warbuggies. Something to screen your Nob Trukks and/or add to target saturation. I would go with buggies and spend the excess on the PKs mentioned above.

The Big Mek is a terrible investment just to protect a single mob (which you should drop anyway). Drop him and put those points towards a second bike boss.

The Warboss has a bike. 'Eavy armour is redundant.

If you're going to spend the points on nobs in trukks, nobs on bikes are better. Get a squad to run with the boss, giving him FNP.

If you want to be more effective, dump the big choppa's and use the points to buy 2 Pk's in each squad. You may be better off with all biker Nobs though. Don't waste points on huge choppa's when you'll be wounding on 2's and 3's on the charge most of the time without them.

Ok... I think this is a bit more crisp.

Like TC said......Bike + Eavy armour = waste of points

Seriously, that's like 3 layers of armor: Bike Cover, Heavy Armor, Cybork Body. Pick two: I'd take bike and 'bork. For bonus points, build the Warboss into the bike to represent the Cyborking.

Well, it is 4 layers: Bike cover, Bike armour, Eavy armour and CB...hence the waste.

Doc Op, you don't seem to realise that there is no real picking involved, not if you want an effective build. If you want a Warboss who can go on his own, you need a bike. If you have a bike, 'eavy armour is literally useless, since it gives you the same save that the bike has already given you. The cybork body is simply common sense.

I didn't say that?

You said "Bike Cover, Heavy Armor, Cybork Body. Pick two: I'd take bike and 'bork." That suggests that you could have chosen otherwise, which is not the case if you 1) are fairly intelligent 2) understand the rules and 3) are not making a joke HQ. "Pick two" could mean you pick the bike and 'eavy armour, which would be moronic.

Vas joke, vee laugh, ja? Ah ah ah ah ah.

The nobs are in the trukks because the "Ramshackle" rule protects them quite a bit. Not only does the enemy have to shoot at the trukk first (less shots towards actual nobs) but the chances of them being pinned or even hurt are virtually nil.

The nob squads need at least 1 power klaw and probably a few big choppas. Likewise, trukkboys are simply a nob delivery system now so their nob also needs a klaw.
