i think id prefer a power klaw lol

You can have both an attack squig and a pk on the warboss, the squig is an equipment upgrade.

lol yeah i know about that, but the armour would give another 4+ save and therefor decrease chance of death

If you purchase warbikes for them, they automatically get 4+ armor save, you don't need to buy 'eavy armour.
I like to buy them cybork bodies if you play against tau, they reduce cover saves so having an invulnerable save is nice.

Oh I just re-read your post about heavy armour, it sounds like you think you can have 2x 4+ armor saves, this is not possible.

Oh btw, 9 nob warbikers w/ warboss warbiker is a bit too much in a 1500 pt game.

Drop it down to say 6, I like have half big choppa and half pk for better wound allocation and to make it even better give one of them a waaagh banner. I also always roll with big choppa on the warboss, I feel he should fight first since he's the biggest and bestest ork around...none of this pk initiative 1 crap.

Oh and when you model a painboy on a warbike, I want to see pictures!

ive been told that alot, but when you see what a large squad of these boys can do, you'll see its deff worth the points lol. I guess all i can do is try it out, and if it doesnt work out, i can always change it

I know exactly what they can do, but it's not much if they don't have big choppas or pk...big choppa equates to str 7 on the charge, and pk is str 9 on the charge

So why are 7 of your really really expensive nob bikers only have slugga/choppas equating to str 5 on the charge?

Oh and since you have a warboss in the army, he is allowed to make your nob squad a troop choice which is good for objective games.

but mine do have big choppas and pk's lol. 4 pk's and 5 big choppas

Much better!!

9 Nob bikers- 405

+WAAGH! Banner-15
+Painboy on bike-55
+5 big choppas-25

You still need to drop the 'eavy armour, give them cybork bodies for 45 points.

So equipped with cyborks, you will have a 4+ armor save, 4+ cover save, and 5+ invulernable save to protect you from tau markerlights and heavy flamers.

Also a 4+ FNP

Oh and it comes to 670 points for the nob biker squad.

Biker warboss with bigchoppa is a huge joke...

Cannot harm AV14 at all.

On charge, warboss with big choppa has Str8, I believe Str8 can glance AV 14 which can "hurt" it.

It's just a personal choice, I do not play against too many monoliths or AV 14 vehicles because I'm used to attacking vehicles who have av14 front armor and av 10 on rear armor (like 95% of the vehicles in 40k).

I have 15 Lootas to take care of the "big names"
