I want to strip some Nobs from the squad I currently run to do either of the following:

Just enough to max out the Burna Boy squad that fills my lase elite slot,

Or cut the Burna Boyz, and split the points between two Nob squads.

If I do the split Nob squad, how would two different Nob squads look with about 540ish points to spare?

This is the current 1850 point list that I use:

Ork 1850 Point Army

HQ- 325 total points

Ghazghkull Thraka- 225 points

Big Mek with Kustom Force Field, Cybork Body, Bosspole- 100 points

Elite- 315 total points

5 Lootas- 75 points

5 Lootas- 75 points

9 Nobs- Cybork Body- 378 points
Painboy
Powerklaw
Powerklaw, Combi-Rokkit
Powerklaw, Combi-Rokkit, Ammo Runt
Big Choppa

Slugga and Choppa, Waaagh! Banner
Sugga and Choppa
Slugga and Choppa, Combi-Rokkit
Dedicated Transport- Battlewagon with Deffrolla and Big Shoota- 115 points

19 Shoota Boyz,1 Nob upgrade with Powerklaw and Bosspole- 154 points

Well, i know you didnt post your list for a critique but why not.

For one, change your Nobs kombi weapons into kombi skorcha's. 3 Rokkits one twin linked means roughly two hits iirc, which might wreck a tank but the skorcha's will genrally out class them.

I like RPJ on my wagons, but there is much debate over that. To be honest i would drop the slugga/choppa/rokkit nob to increase the size of the grot squad, as currently they are an easy easy easy kill point that will not do much, not even hold the objective, change them to 19grots 1 runtherd for 67pts.

Apart form that not a lot wrong with the list.

Nob squad is a bit blotted. You will find that 6 or 7 nobz with 2 PK will maul most other units in the game. Use the rest of the points to max out burnas as they do tend to take casualties in explosions and assault

Agree with the above poster.

I would also suggest dropping the lootas and that trukk boyz squad for another 20x boyz and a BW. 3 BWs in 1850 just seems too light.

Tempting to remove the Lootas, but as I need to slow down the enemy before I get to krump them, the 2 Loota squads coupled with the Deffkoptas means that I can knock out or slow down a few transports before trundling up my BWs for the inevitable assault.

Do you run the Burnas in a BW? If so, max em out.

Yup. Gonna kill off some nobs to max out the burna boyz, and maybe give the Big Mek a Power Klaw.

And.. of course.. grot riggers and Extra Armor for the BW, if you got the points.. makes sure to get the Burnas where de wanna go.
