Gameplan: Footslog all the shootas up with the Big Mek, giving cover saves in open ground, Lootas doing what they do best, Kannons pounding vehicles and other big targets while hiding behind defense line, Nob bikers and wazdakka will go deathstar hunting. Any thoughts or comments would be great gents!

Your Nobs should have Bosspoles to keep the boyz in line when they start to get whittled down.

Your Nob Bikers are not legally (or properly) equipped. If you take Cybork Bodies, you must take it on all of them. Also there is no need to buy TL Shootas as the Bikes have Dakkaguns on them. They also need a Bosspole to keep them in line.

I don't see a reason for Wazdakka. You're not taking advantage Da Bike Boss as Nob Bikers are still elites and he cannot take on deathstars solo. At best he's a 180pt distraction.

Kannons want ammo runts, if not more crew and runt herd.

You actually want a warboss on a bike to make the nob bikers scoring rather than wazdakka.

Reasonable idea though: Ork shooting list, with bikers as fast cover, especially they happen to score.

Oops, sry, they do have bosspoles, i just didnt put it on here, dropped wazdakka and put in a warboss with bike, pk, cyborg, and attack squig. then maxed out the kannons to 12 runts and 2 ammo runts ea.

I'm now moving against PK nobs. They have been nerfed all to hell and do not bubble wrap like they did in 5th.

Nobs can be taken out with challenges (lost or refused), precision strikes and sniper fire, as well as just by manuevering them to be the closest model (sure, LOS works on half of the wounds). The humble boyz mob nob just isn't tough enough to warrant a 25 point investment now - that's why I'm transitioning to big choppas, S7 on the charge will cut up most vehicles just fine and give a fighting chance against softer MCs, it doesn't break armour but neither does a dead PK nob :p It was a bit of a nerf but we got some bonuses too, like no more fearless wounds.

If you play with a nob and are careful with the challenge rules then it turns out not to be too bad at all. A lot of the time the nob seems to win, or takes just one wound, most of the time he can not be challenged.
The nob will always hit last, or near enough so you may as well go for a weapon that can instant kill t4 and break all armour and can have a go against monsters and dreads.
