Folks,
I can potentially build 6 nob bikers. One will have a PK+BP (or Waaagh Banner) as it is already assembled. I also have a biker boss. So with the other 5... How do you suggest kitting them for 6th? Do you think I will need more?
Thanks,
DrG

Nob biker list is in my opinion the best build for 6th ed. Run 2 nob biker death stars with either loota support or more warvikers and youll be fine. The death stars take a bunch of punishment. Run them with at least 3 PK, all bikes, and a pain boy upgrade. Wazzdakka and warboss biker work well.

I think Wadzakka and 6 biker units provides fast decent firepower and allows you to assault different units with your nob power claws. Then add to that the warboss and his biker boys and you have a winner. I would also look at adding a dakkajet or three to support your force. You need some protection from flyers and they seem awesome.
Give them fighter ace and you will have a virtual BS 4! Something unheard of by orks.

Soooo:
1.) Nob w/ PK & BP (or Waaagh! Banner)
2.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
3.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
4.) Nob / Painboy
5.) Nob w/ Choppa Slugga
6) Nob w/ Choppa Slugga
7.) Boss w/ PK TLS

This means only 3 models left!!!! I'll use my biker Boyz as count as nobz. Gotta get some green stuff skills.

1.) Nob w/ PK & BP (or Waaagh! Banner)
2.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
3.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
4.) Nob / Painboy
5.) Nob w/ Choppa Slugga
6) Nob w/ Choppa Slugga
7.) Boss w/ PK TLS

I'd replace the choppas by big ones. S7 on the charge is priceless.

UPDATE BIKER DEATH STAR (That I can field)

1.) Nob w/ PK & BP (or Waaagh! Banner)
2.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
3.) Nob w/ PK & Slugga
4.) Nob / Painboy
5.) Nob w/ Big Choppa / Slugga
6) Nob w/ Big Choppa / Slugga
7.) Boss w/ PK TLS (maybe count as Wazdakka)

Two power klaws should suffice. The rest should have big choppas. This how I run mine.

BIker warboss is amazing. attack squig, cyborg body, klaw, bosspole as standard. Also a warboss is needed, do not spend this many points on a unit and not have them scoring for you.

If you have at least pain boy, cyborg bodies, bosspole and a few klaws then I would be happy and then just do not over do it.

The banner and spare boss pole are cool extras, as are big choppas but cheap is always good.

I think 5 is very good number not including warboss. But I would be willing to go a little lower or higher if it fits into a list better.

Just have modelling the guys, whatever takes your fancy.

Your Bike Boss has Twin Linked Dakkagunz and no use for a Twin Linked Shoota.

I for once agree with MFletch.

BChoppas are really not needed unless you have the points. I think 2 PK are probably good too. Like he said try to keep it as cheap as you can but still make it effective. 2 nobs plus a boss with a PK is more then enough. I saw that you had the Boss with a TL-shoota. Might try to make that a Kombi Skorcha, as you will be shooting his Dakka guns most of the time anyways. But a flamer could be nice for anti charge and thinning down hordes a bit.

So happy right now

Well, I agree with the posters here that two smaller Nob Biker squads would be more effective.
One large unit can tied up in cc against a fearless unit for some time.
With two units you are tactically more flexible. They can achieve more at the battle field.
