They CAN'T I know, and so, since that's the case, why does the Ork boy box come with an arm with a damn krak grenade on the end of it?
Or is that a melta bomb?

I think Ork Boyz come with Frag grenades of a sort.

It's a stikk bomm, it counts as a frag.

The arm on the right has a stikkbomb, the arm on the left has something totally different. Looks like a melta bomb, or krak grenade. Heck, this is the exact same one used in the DoW movie that the ork blows up the Dred with.
So, is that or is the not, a krak grenade on the left arm?

Ork boyz can equip stikkbombs, which are basically frag grenades. They're not worth it though.

That is not a Krak grenade, it's a Tankbusta bomb.
Like the one on top of the left Squig here.

It's a tankbusta bomm, confirming that. It's so you can make plastic tankbustas.

How old is that sprue btw? Remember at one time ork boyz could indeed carry krak grenades!

It's a piece of debris looted from some slaughtered humans the Ork is using as a improvised blunt instrument.

Neither, it's Flavor Flavs necklace, which I reckon could still do in a dreadnought... A Krak Clock?

The arm on the right is a stikkbomb. You can use those to make Kommandos as they are the only unit in the DEX that comes with them free. The left arm is a Tank Busta bomb. Again so you can make plastic TankBustas. Looks like a plus to me.

Tank Busta!
Thanks so much.
Makes perfect sense now.
Too bad Tankbustas are to bad.
=(
Oh to have the Tank Hunter special rule...

TBs are one of the most under rated units in the DEX. I include a Mob of at least 10 (7 XRLs, 2 XTank Hammers, 2 Bomb Squigs, Nob w/PK & BP) in just about every list. Give them a Looted wagon (RL, RPJ, Boarding Plank) to ride in. Very few times do they fail to make their points back for me. The last FAQ that came out stating the Squigs didn't need LOS to their target and the TBs can shoot at a different one made them even better.

Plus with tankbusta bombs you can knock out Av14 tanks without too much of an issue. One thing Orks are lacking is weapons with a greater S than 8

Came out with the current Ork codex in JanuWAAAAGHry 2008, and they're easily one of my favorite kits. There's a hell of a lot of stuff packed on those sprues.

this certainly isn't a general discussion topic. belongs in 40k...

I agree with SRM, the boyz box is my favorite kit I ever bought so far, Even better when you have a bunch of AoBR nobz around...and you can give one of them the PK, instead of making 9 boyz and nob...you can make 10 boyz!, and customize the AoBR boyz with all the extra bits.

Actually, the kit makes 10 Boyz and 1 Nob.

Even says so in the iconography on the box, if I recall correctly. Something like "10x [Boy silhouette]" then below that, "1x [Nob silhouette]"

Comes with 10 pairs of Boy legs, 1 pair of Nob legs, 10 normal Boy torsos, 1 Nob torso, 1 rokkit launcha Boy torso, 1 big shoota Boy torso, 10+ Boy heads, 2 special weapon Boy heads, 1 Nob head, in addition to all the weapons, wargear, and nifty bitz.

Really?!?!?!?

My 4 boxes only came with 10 sets of legs! I never had an extra pair of Nob legs........I might have thrown them into my bitz box on accident......I'll have to check when I get home.

Boyz come with 12 models if I recall. 10 legs, 1 nob set, one heavy weapon set with an explosion belt buckle.

They're on the third - or fifth, maybe - sprue, with the heavy weapons and other Nob bitz.

SRM: Hm... that would make an absurd amount of sense, given that Trukks can carry 12 models. But I'm pretty sure they only come with 11 legs, including the Nobz. It's possible I didn't notice, I'll admit.
