Well, a bit about it later i guess, its a pretty straight forward list.

Ghazghkull

big mek /w burna and kff

5 nobz (uniquely equipped) + 1 painboy, 3 big choppas 2 power klaws, 2 skorcha 1 rokkit kombi (rokkit has a ammo runt) all nobz /w eavy /w cybork, waagh banner and bosspole. plain painboy, all riding in battlewagon with 1x big shoota, reinforced ram red paint and boarding plank.

19x boyz /w nob with pk & bosspole in battlewagon /w red paint reinforced ram and boarding plank.

11x boyz /w nob /w pk and bosspole in a trukk with red paint, reinforced ram and boarding plank.

11x boyz /w nob /w pk and bosspole in a trukk with red paint, reinforced ram and boarding plank.

11x boyz /w nob /w pk and bosspole in a trukk with red paint, reinforced ram and boarding plank.

Basically just ghaz /w nobz and mek in their wagon, boyz in trukks getting a almost guarenteed turn 2 assault with a 27" range on their assault.

Nob squad and wagon boyz to go and help wherevers needed for a round 2 thats just as bad as round 1

I almost always try to fit in a deff kopta with a tl rokkit and buzzsaw but thats 70 points i just dont seem to be able to squeeze out of this unless i were to cut the rams and planks off all vehicles? but then this list would suck vs mech even worse than normal hehe.

nice lst.

I usually field Ghazzy with 7nobs (1 Pow Klaw+ 1big choppa) + 1 pain boy. all with cybork bods.

With this squad in a trukk i once destroyed :
Azurman+ dire avengers
Wraith LOrd
full squad of guardians
walker
and karandrass.

that was his whole army except a squad of striking scorps

1. Drop cybork bodies from your nobs. If you run into something that's going to need cybork bodies, then assault it with Ghazghkull with a 2+ invul save, or with a trukk boy squad instead.

2. Hate to say it....but those nobs aren't scaring anyone with five of them. You either take a diversified nob squad as a centerpiece of your army, or you don't take one. Don't get half-hearted with it. Either Build a 10 man diversified nob squad, insert it into your army, and then build around it with whatever points you have left over....or leave it out.

3. If you want help building a nob squad, lemme know.

4. Your big mek doesn't need a burna. He's a mobile bubble, and that's it. Save yourself the points.

5. Ghazghkull makes your whole army fearless on the turn you charge. IE, you won't be rolling leadership. IE, bosspoles are unnecessary. If you lose in close combat, a bosspole isn't going to do you any good anyway (even if you're not fearless), and to be honest....if a unit gets disembarked as its crossing the field, they're not really going to take much fire. Your opponent is going to try disembarking the rest of your army, and the ones that got disembarked, aren't really a threat to them anymore. Lose the bosspoles.

6. Every unit in your army needs a purpose. I can read your army list and see precisely the purpose, and the unique contribution that every unit offers....except the boys in the battlewagon. You've got a battlewagon for a half-strength nob unit and Ghazghkull, and a battlewagon just for a KFF. It just doesn't....fit really. Then again, I can't really make recommendations yet until you answer my point #2. Do you want nobs to be a central piece of your army? You're pretty much never going to want the nobs to assault the same thing as Ghazghkull, so if you decide to roll two battlewagons up the field, Ghazghkull with 18 boys in one, and the KFF mek with 10 nobs in the other would be suitable for presenting two threats.

7. Should you decide to go with the 10 nobs, here's the configuration that I'd recommend; it provides optimal utility for the most conservative point cost:

-Painboy
-Bosspole
-Waaaugh! Banner
-Powerklaw
-Powerklaw, Ammo Runt
-Powerklaw, Kombi-Skorcha
-Big Choppa
-Big Choppa, Ammo Runt
-Big Choppa, Kombi-Skorcha
-Normal Nob

DashofPepper,
Thanks for the Nobz list. I will put this into use immediately.

I'd still stick with bosspoles, you will probably be in combat for more then one turn, so they will prove their worth latter, as for the nobs, ya, all or nothin. Dash pretty much summerized what needs doing. In fact, add some burnas and it is very similar to the one he runs. It is always a race to see if I can get to an ork list before DoP. Good luck with the list.

yea, kicked some marines teeth in today pitched/annil, well won by 2 kp, byut i got like 5 of my kp in the last turn hehe.

Also burnas there because it never hurts to have a i4 power weapon with the nobz, usually by the time nobz make it to the battle in a wagon its starting round 2 of assaults and the kff isnt needed nearly so much so ill drop him out with the nobz for another power weapon, or for a 3rd flamer template before assault.

And about the smaller # of nobs ... 10 diverse nobs in a wagon would be like 750 points ... my 5+pb were already sitting at 418 with their wagon, in 1860 or 2k games i bring a full group of nobz, but at 1500? my 2 hq + nobs were already half the points and they performed excellently as always, eating an entire 10 man sternguard squad then footing over and killing a dev squad and a dreadnaought with a multi assault.
