How many power klaws (25 pts) would you put in a 10 man nob bike unit? How about the big choppa (5 pts)? It already is a point sink and adding power klaws makes it even more so. I was thinking 2-3 at max but I would like to hear what others have played or even what you have played against. Also, is it over kill to put a warboss in the unit with them?

I agree with 2-3 - too much of a point sink otherwise. The same for big choppas - I know some people hate them, but you need some high strength chopping and they're not that expensive.

4 minimum, + the warboss. 6 is probably too many, but a case can be made for 5.

Big choppas are optional, and probably unnecessary.

The warboss is needed, for LD and to make the squad 10 models strong to start.

I think the context of the question is important.

Are you talking about a list with 2 maxed out nob biker units, or something else?

I'd go with 2-3 if the boss rides with them, 3-4 if he doesn't. Maybe 2 big choppas.

You really don't want 10 nobs to decide to run off. The Warboss makes sense.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

YEs I am talking about 2 full units of nob bikers. I was even looking at the special character thats on the bike. He looks great. So lets make this clear for me......can you add a warboss to a full unit of 10 nobs or can you only add him to a unit of 9?

You can add him to any sized unit. The only time you have to worry about the number is if they are going in a transport but since they're on bikes, that should not be happening.

The reason it's good to go with 10 Nobs + the Warboss is that at unit strength 11 they are fearless because of Mob rule.
