Ok, So I can't decide between a unit of 6 meganobz with kombi-skorchas, or a unit of 5 nobs in 'eavy armor, cybork bodies and 1 Waaagh! Banner with one Pain Boy that gives the whole unit FNP.... The meganobz can Instant Death stuff with their pk's, but obviously go on initiative 1. The nobz, if charging, get S7 hits at WS 5 (with the Waaagh! Banner). Please help me decide which one to field!!!!

I had them in the Battlewagon with a Warboss (mega armor, cybork body, bosspole). On the first turn my opponent rolled a pen and then it blew up--he rolled a 6 on the vehicle damage table. After the explosion, a lot of the nobs took wounds (they failed both their 'eavy armor save and FNP! MANZ usually do well in the battlewagon with my decked out warboss, but I hate going at initiative 1 and end up losing a few guys before they can fight back

I think I'll throw my meganobz in a trukk. It usually gets blown up, but by that time they've moved 13" (red paint job) then flat out another 12. By the time it blows up, they're usually within charge range, and never really get damaged if the trukk blows up... The ramshackle table can be iffy, though hahah

Well, actually with my tankbustas, I forgot to mention that two of them had tankhammers (those worked out really well dealing S10 hits!). I was playing with the models I had--everything was wysiwyg. I'm definitely going to invest in some more battlewagons. I have 5 lootas painted up, but a unit of 10-15 would be great. If I could change anything, I would add some lootas and another trukk full of tankbustas to the list and possible take out the deffkoptas However, the deffkoptas and the meganobz definitely were the MVPs! For playing with what I had--and playing against a bunch of newer codices, I'm happy with how things ended up.

I've noticed that about deffkoptas. I don't understand why ork players don't use them. I mean, twin-linked rokkits come on! Plus, a 12" scout pre-movement phase, and 12" move + 24" range rokkits. That can reach vehicles 48" away on turn 1. I've found them to be great early game units.
