I... actually don't know. Help?

Well, if I can buy up to 2 of these, which ones should I buy? Burnas are cool with their Burna/Power Weapon mix, Lootas make great anti-MEQ, and Nobz are awesome in CC. Whih ones should I go for? Right now I only have stabby units, so I'm thinking Lootas.

Also, say I buy two boxes of Lootas, will I be able to take the Burna parts and use them to get 10 Burnas from a box 'o Boyz?

Well the loota/burna box comes with 4 deff guns, 4 burnas and some weapons for a mek.

But yes, the weapons model with any ork torso/legs. So if you get two boxes of lootas/burnas and a box of boyz you can make 8 lootas and 8 burnas.

I think Lootas work really great, and a lot of people don't like burnas. But when I have run burnas, they have always killed something, and are always a threat.

The Nobz are a rough unit to put together and can get very very expensive to get up to where you want to go with them. However, they can prove to be a very mean close combat threat.

Like Icculus said, the burna/loota box is great value IMO. All you need is a few extra Ork torsos and legs kicking around (which any self-respecting Ork player ought to ) and you can easily build four of each from every box.

The nob box is awesome, so many extra parts to use with the rest of the army. They're great looking models too. I tend to run my nobs like a crazy person - a big ass unit of 10 in a battlewagon to go with my warboss - but if they survive their way across the table they absolutely wreck face.

Lootas. You need long range high strenth shooting. Nobs are also usefull, but only as regular nobs in boyz squads, so they can realy stand out of the mob.
