im thinking of adding a painboy to my nob mob of 10. im just wondering if the advantages of the painboy (mainly "feel no pain") are worth the 16 buck's that games workshop is pushing

**Orkeosaurus**

If you've already got a squad of 10 nobs, I think you'd better get a painboy. Giving the whole squad Feel no Pain is huge. Access to cybork body is a nice plus.

**FITZZ**

Orkeosaurus speaks the truth,Painboyz are (for me) a must take,however,you don't have to shell out the money for the metal GW one,just do a bit of converting on one of the Nobz you already have.

**Cheese Elemental**

Or you can use cheap online stores.

**DarkHound**

I would never take Nobs without a Painboy.

**_axeplay_**

thanks all. i will defiantly get a Painboy now (once i hork up enough dough that is).

**Orkestra**

Cheese: Stop doing HBMC's work for him.

Namely, the job of searching for threads where dollars, bucks, pounds, etc. appear and posting a maelstrom link.

(though seriously, order from maelstrom instead of GW)

Hey now! Cheese is my sidekick, and no one talks to him like that.

IF you're ordering from Canada, use www.gc-minis.com
I have no affiliation with any of them, but I just ordered $600 worth of stuff for just over $400. I know that from here it can be a pain ordering from international dealers.
Hope that helps ya some

**H.B.M.C.**

If you're not ordering from Canada though, avoid GC-Minis, as they haven't ugpraded to 20th Century technology yet, and still require smoke signals in order to receive payment.

No, sorry, I'm wrong. They do take Morse Code.

**Alerian**

Or....just convert your own painboy with bits.

I made mine with a Nob and some SM Apothecary bits. Then again, I play Deffskullz, so all my stuff is made out of looted Imperial garbage

**Cheese Elemental**

Speaking of which, I know where you can get said Nob and Apothecary.

**H.B.M.C.**

LOL! I trained you well.

**Nobody_Holme**

Cheese, one advert per thread page will do :(

I think we got the message. >.>

**StormHalo**

I too would advise anybody to take a painboy in a nob squad. I run 6 nobs in a squad and still take a painboy.

I converted mine from the plastic nob box using a space marine loin cloth as his face mask and a bit of filed plastic as needles glued to a chopped-up gun.

**porkuslime**

I also endorse Painboyz..

Mine was made from the Ork Nobz box, using the crossed bone bannerpoletopper, the full face cybork head, the buzzsaw arm, and a styringe made from a Rokkit, heated and stretched.. with the apron cloth from that box..

No one has any problems figuring that out on the tabletop..

(and I am happy to pay the 50 or so points for him.. )

-P

I don't live in Britain

But yes, take a painboy (I'm actually thinking of doing a mob of nob bikers, and painboy biker I will have to mod anyways, but it sounds like it will be fun at any rate

)

Wow, and they even sell the codex! I'll have to register for this later then

**Brother SRM**

I converted my own by sculpting a doctor's mask over his mouth, using the buzzsaw arm in the box, and adding in some spare bits from other medics; namely the Catachan medic and an Apothecary shoulder pad. If you're into converting this is a pretty good solution. It's also nice if you're going for an all-plastic army like I am.

**BlackSpike**

I use a standard AoBR Nob with Iron Jaw, painted up with Red Cross on White logos, and a scratch-built syringe.
Definitely worth while to keep those boyz Pain_free

**_axeplay_**

thanks Jamora for the link and could you please tell me what the shipping cost is.

**KingCracker**

Yea seriously not taking a painboy is just insane! And like also stated before..... just build one. Its as easy as cutting a gun barrel off, and sticking a pin/needle/nail in the end. TADAAAAAAAA!

**Indominork7**

I raided some skulls from my AOBR Warboss's shoulder and glued them to an AOBR nob that already had a skull on its helmet. Then, I gave it a lego buzzsaw for the doks tools. Lastly, I cut the ammo clip from the slugga, and glued it up in place of the slugga barrel, then filing a thin piece of sprue to look like a needle, which left for a nice looking syringe. Good luck if you decide to custom make your Painboy, if not you must have too much spare cash to toss around

**Tacobake**

I am still waiting on an order from gc-minis as a matter of fact I expect it should arrive ... I am actually shopping the Warstore, these days. Bitz are just a bonus. Vancouver does fine without me, anyway.

That and that is a seriously cool Painboy.

**_axeplay_**

I think i will go with the online store but not before i try to make one. on another note how long have you been waiting for your stuff Tacobake

You mean like this online store?

I'm on a roll today.

**Jamora**

Yea, one downside to Gc-minis is it takes 2-3 weeks to get. Upside is 30% off everything. Mine took exactly 3 weeks to receive.
