How can nobs exploit the wound allocation system and what is the wound allocation system. Thank you

EDIT: Double Post :-/

Nobz resilience is then multiplied up by inclusion of a painboy (Feel no pain, nearly doubles their resistances to pain!) and the inclusion of bikers; Gives them +(1)T and a continual 4+ coversave as well as a 4+ armour save.

Str8 close-combat weapons work best but you need a squad that can survive the normal non-power klaw swings.

Heavy flamers work well to pile on the wounds.

Str8+ weaponry.

Oh another nob tactic to take note of; Putting the occasional str8-9 wound onto a warboss allows you to asborb that damage without loosing a model as a warboss has a natural T5.

Complex Nobs are resilient as hell. A friend of mine uses a squad of complex Nobs with Ghazgull, and the unit is an absolute nightmare to take on. Even my deathstar unit of Vulkan and 5 TH/SS Terminators don't come out alive.

I hate complex nobs. However, you can't do against battlecannon hits. HA!

Unless they're on a bike. Then that becomes a problem.

Give each of the nobs a different piece of equipment
I.E. Nob w/ power klaw/ shoota, nob w/ power klaw/ slugga, nob w/ power klaw/slugga and waargh banner, Nob with power klaw and boss pole, etc.

Ok, thank you for this all

Here's a thread from last month on nob wound allocation tactics and outfitting, and some discussion on using them. Hopefully it's useful, if you're planning on fielding such a squad at some point.

How is 2+ to wound instant kill a problem?

Bike +1T does not count vs insta-kill calculation. the only thing is they get that cover save.

Offhand, son, I would say speed. The Nob will be like "I iz in your face, rippin it apart" I would guess.
