I run painboyz in my 30 man boyz mobs that also have a Nob with a boss pole. You think the 5 points is worth it for a back up boss pole in case the Nob getz killed ?

It's only 10 points on my 2 painboyz. I'm curious if others run the boss pole on the pain boy.

Seems like a good idea. If the nob gets sniped by an enemy commander and all your boyz end up panicking and flee, then you just 30 boyz because by the time they rally they're probably really far away. Also if there is a challenge and your Nob loses, the Painboy needs to be able to keep a potentially decimated squad in combat.

Ha i didnt even notice they could take bosspoles, for some reason i just assumed they had access to the bike via special rule rather than access to the whole list.

I dont see why not. 5pts per for another backup bp. lot of people seem to be thinking the bp isnt worth it anymore since its not a leadership reroll anymore - i beg to differ, my bp have saved me from a lot of badness (rolled a 1, rerolled into something else or rolled a 4+ rerolled into a 2-3 when i was less than 10 models).

Would be epic if cybork bodies added +1 to FNP rather than just a 6+. i'd take that on all my HQs in a heartbeat then.

If I'm in combat and I roll a 2-6 I will re-roll trying for a 1. A roll of 1 if your in combat is the bomb.

If you get a 2-3 you have to stick with it as it is a boss pole requirement.
