But my nob bikers, with warboss on bike and painboy pretty much killed most of the black templar units by themselves. Are BT meant to be that weak? His emperors champion (I think its called) I assaulted with my warboss and killed it easily, didnt even take a wound (toughness 6, and 6 attacks with a power klaw..)

Just gonna ignore the rest: you charged a massively expensive Nob biker deathstar into stuff and you're surprised that it died? What?

Ignore all you want. I didnt even consider it'd be that useful as thats my second 6th game, with a list i made up myself, not off some website.. When that squad walked over everything he had, i felt terrible, it wasnt fun for me at all really..

Sorry if I came across as harsh, didn't realize you were new to the game (thought Orks were your second army). I'll try adding some constructive stuff:


Melee-wise, there's not much that can do anything against Nob bikers in the Templars Codex. TH/SS Terminators work, but they don't ID the Nobz anymore. LC Terminators with FC would maul them to bits if they got the charge off. The best thing one can do is drop a whole lot of shooting into it. A Vindicator would still ID the Nobz, but it'd have to get close. As has been said, 2x Assault Cannon Terminators are good, and would be able to drown a bike squad in dakka.
