Should Nob go in as...

Nob: PK, BP 40pts.

or

Nob: PK, 'eavy armour, BP 45pts.

I'm curious because I'm making this.

i would go for second option as it would proboble keep them alive for about twice as long

The second one. 'Eavy Armor is only five points and that 4+ armor save is wonderful. They go down way too quickly (since Nobz mobs are much smaller than Boyz mobs) if they only have a 6+ armor save.

Thank you.

Can anyone clarify that, that is the point value for that Nob?

Is this a squad of nobz? or just a squad of boys with a nob in it??

If its one nob in a squad of boys dont bother with the eavy armor.

If its a squad of nobs use em.

As for the points I am not to sure on.

Pretty much what Pride said.

With Boyz Mobz, there's enough Boyz to soak wounds. If you actually wind up looking at a second wound or an instant death wound on your Nob, the Mob is probably done anyway.

For Nob Mobz though, it's a relatively cheap protection on investment. Honestly though, if I'm doing a full Mob with the Painboy and fixins, I generally leave the 'Eavy Armour at home in favour of Cybork Bodies. I figure if my opponent can get through all of their counter hits and the like, they deserve to beat the Mob.

No matter which way you slice it though a 4+ to an Ork is a thing of beauty.

Don't bother with the armor, like everyone here said. You've got boyz for wounds, the nob for the PK.

Do you just not have a codex or something?

I think he said in another thread he doesn't have the codex yet, but will be getting it soon, right now he's hammering out the details of a good army list.

I have a codex via computer.

I'm figuring out if like the point value is different from an ordinary Nob, to a Boy upgraded to a Nob.

The point value is different. You upgrade a Boy to a Nob for +10 points, so you pay 16 points total.

An individual Nob costs 20 points.

That's before any upgrades.
