Hey guys,

I realise that the ork boyz pack ($35 AUS) comes with 10 boyz but you can make 11 including the Nob.

Im gonna buy the battleforce for orks and i see it comes with 20 ork boyz, but does it then come with 2 Nobz? (10 boyz, 1 Nob= 20 boyz 2 Nobs?)\

If you are certain because you have purchased this before, could you please reply

The Boyz sprue contains 10 boys, the Nob, and two extra torsos.

The Battleforce contains 2 Boyz sprues.

So what you are trying to say is, that all together you will get:

20 boyz
2 Nobz
4 extra torsos

Is that right?

P.S
1.Can you put PKs on the Nobz?
2. How many PKs are there in both sprues put together?

1. Yes... where else would they go?
2. One per Nobz sprue.

BYE

There are only ten bases.

Hardly a major hurdle.

oh noes 10 bases, call in the Inquisition, it's a conspiracy.

on a lighter note, those 10 bases are made up easily when you buy the kommandos in a blister, as they put 4 slotta bases in there with one model. hmm, that seems like overkill to me boyz..

Probably more expensive to pay Dave McClipper to clip them apart than to give you 3 extra. UK labor is probably pretty salty.

Definitely go with the Battleforce... plus it has bikerz and a Trukk.

I got the Spearhead and will probably get two Battleforces to supplement it.

So how many bases does it come with for one sprue, 10 or 11?

The one I opened today had 20 bases, of the old 4-to-a-sprue type.

I've had others that have had the newer individual bases in a bag, but have no idea how many were in it as I didn't count them at the time. Probably still 20, though.

ork guy, are bases the only issue killing or stopping you from getting this? if so, just ask your gaming friend if they ahve any extras. I know I always have a few that I use for trade fodder etc when the need arises.

Thanks insaniak

@2headstalking

I just want to know definetely because i have exdtra bases so thats not my problem. I asked GW today and they said that the 35 AUD$ boyz pack can only make 9 boyz and 1 Nob (altogether 10).

@insaniak

Hey you know how you just opened your battleforce, how many ork boyz and how many ork Nobz could you make. (Ignore how many bases it came with, just how many orks could you make)

You can make exactly as many as I said earlier in the thread.

GW are presumably saying it only makes 10 because that's how many bases you get, and how many models it says the box contains.

You wind up with 11 sets of legs, 13 torsos, 14 heads, and a whole slew of arms.

Thanks very much insaniak!!

If i have 4 more sets of legs, and 6 bases, i could effectively make 26 orks!

1. I get it GW make you think its 10 because of the bases but you could make 11 with an extra base. Thats probably exactly the same with the Battle force right? But instead you wind up with 22 sets of legs, 26 torsos, 28 heads and 20 bases right?
2. Also, (if you can be bothered LOL) could you count how many ork arms there are for SLUGGA boyz (the pistol and the CCW)? I could get some ork legs off a friend that collected the 4th ed orks but im not sure if the slugga boyz options for the hands were the same for the 4th edition orks.

Thanks!

The Boyz sprue includes 5 regular sluggas, 2 sword arms, 2 axe arms, 1 chainsword arm, and the Nob's slugga and choppa arms.

The regular boyz weapons arms are all exactly the same as the 3rd edition version.

That sucks, are you trying to say that you can only make 5 slugga boyz in a normal 10 man ork boyz pack/sprue? I was hoping you could make all 10 of them sluggas... Please correct me if i understood wrong

Yeah, sorry... double all that. For 10 boys, you get 2 sets of what I just listed.

Anyway, Thanks insaniak!

Just one more simple question lol, what is a slugga and what is a choppa?

P.S Sorry but i didnt understand what you just sent in the last message, were you trying to say that you get 2 sets of everything you listed for 10 boyz (so 4 sets of what you listed for 20?)?

Thanks!

"What is a slugga and what is a choppa?" What kind of "Ork Guy" are you?

Darrian

Slugga = Shooty pistoly type things.

Choppa = anything an ork can grab, and hit you in the head with...

When you´re an ork, anything that is not a shoota, squig or vehicle, is a choppa.

(And yes, that includes gretchin)

@dARRIEN

Sometimes i wonder why you bother to post if your gonna post something dumb like that.....

@Xanthos

Thanks for your answers!

Any time.

Problem is, some times those of us who have been around for a while forget that not everybody has...

Good luck with your orks.

Thanks for your answers!

the description of all the weapons that orks use is included in the ork codex. You definately want to pick that up before you do anything with any models. I also imagine that you are trying to get the most models that you can without spending a ton of money, and that's a good thing. However, just look at is as while you pick up your models, you will get some extra bits here and there, and will be able to swap or trade them with your other friends.

Im definetely going to buy the codex, it helps alot!

Thanks guys, ill be messaging soon!

Thanks

@Ork guy, I am sorry if I offended you. I did not realize you were sensitive and did not yet have a copy of the Ork Codex.

Darrian

Bit Kingdom has ork stuff and pictures of the sprues. Don't buy anything until you read the codex. You don't want to build a bunch of slugga boyz only to realize you like the rules for shootas better.

@Darrien

Its alright, were just here to have fun

@Rbb

Do they have a website?

Hey guys i got the ork codex and the battleforce and a warboss. I converted the warboss onto a bike hes also got the attack squig. Iv made all boys sluggas and im definetely going to buy another trukk. What else do you guys think i should buy?
