Got the nob box today.. have not yet seen online pictures of the actual sprues.. seen GW painted bits, but not actually on the sprue. So, grabbed the camera.. and here you all go. One thing I have noticed.. unlike GW webpage on the Nobz, these did NOT come with 40mm round bases, and there is not really a Painboy upgrade, unless you like your Painboy Bionik..

Can you change the background at all? Maybe upload them to the Wiki.

Otherwise very cool. One box for me I think + Black Reach Nobz/ bits.

No not anymore.. after I took the photos, I cut up the sprues.. and the red looked better than the white background I normally use.. so sorry.

and yes.. they work WONDERFULLY with the BR Nobs..

I have no idea how to upload them.. but anyone who wants to, has my permission to do so.

Those big choppas are absolutely terrifying. They are a must-have.

The power klaws seem a little underwhelming; I was expecting something like the huge one the BR Warboss has. The big choppas, on the other hand, are epic win. It should take a lot of time out of modelling.

These guys are win right out of the box. I love to convert, but I am building my first set standard like the box, this is my favorite kit so far. The trouble is, I don't use Nobz I like Meganobz....

I endorse everything said in this post.

Nice ones!
But i find it a bit alarming that the torso and legs are in one piece...
It feels like it is a big step back...

Thanks for reminding me Pics are there.

There is that much variety there, the loss of a join at the waist isn't really needed.
And you can always cut one yourself if you are a half way decent greenstuffer.

I'm happy with the box I picked up, I wish they included a few shootas without the kombi weapon or a few twin linked shootas. It'd be nice if the torso and legs were seperate.

not to be blunt but how hard is it to make a twin-linked shoota .

Actually, against MEqs. TEqs and the like, big choppas are actually less effective then sluggas and choppas. Unless you're fighting things with high T, or more armour then powerklaws should be able to handle, you'll inflict more wounds with the extra attacks.

I think the original post referred to the bits, which are wonderful, and not to the game value of said items.

But the actual kit is looking really fine, shame that the doc bits are missing though.

Dave Taylor said there were Flash Git bitz in the box, so there must be a sprue missing.

I've bought the box set too and there are no Flash Gitz parts per se. He was probably refering to the Kombi-weapon options, which could be used to make Flash Gitz for the timebeing. I think the sprue would be easily adaptable for a Flash Gitz release in the future.

I like that they've put an emphasis on Big Choppas rather than Power Klaws. PK Nobz belong in tournaments, not everyday games.

Well, really they belong wherever and whenever you want them, but point taken, especially as the Big Choppas look really, really nice!

There are still three Klawz in the box. Four if you count the buzz-saw hand.

BYE

The weapons in this box have uses far beyond orks, too. Lots of good stuff for Fantasy and 40k Chaos (esp. Khorne).

I might have to pick some up.

Those 'uge choppas are almost enough to pull me into Ork-dom. Almost. If I didn't have 3 other armies on the table in progress, I would dive in head first with a big WAAAAGGHHH!!!

its time for... a... (holds it... holds it...)

WWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

phew that was a mouthful

why did GW say that once you've made your 5 nobs and painboy you will have enough spare parts to make some flash gits?

Can you use the weapon arms with AOBR Nob bodies?

As already commented above, yes. Some very minor trimming may be required to removed the joining pins from the AOBR models.

see above for the answer to your question.

edit - I'm way too slow...

I apologize

So we can tell apart people with a functional brain from those who just parrot the company line and flame anyone who dares to doubt the great GW.

You got them...ON THE 7TH? I got mine on the 2nd!
