Dammit all I want is our Rambo back, people made so many great conversions for him, arguably encouraging more hobby creativity than anything else in the army and they took him out of the book, WHILE HE STILL HAS A MODEL.

Not him, but what's the deal with the backlash against 1d4chan I keep seeing on /tg/? Is it just because it's full of memes? Or do people just read 1d4chan and nothing else and then think they're informed?

>>52227035
Both

Some people unironically spout the memes and it's pretty outdated in some areas, to the point of giving straight up bad advice sometimes.

> Nobz: Nearly three times more expensive than a normal Ork Boy, but with +1 Wound, +1 Attack, and +1 Strength. However, like the Warboss, they get access to the shiniest wargear available to the Ork army, from Power Klaws to Kombi-shootas to 'Eavy Armor. Great in both close combat AND shooting. Best used as bodyguards for your Warboss. This massive Orky beatstick will likely cost several hundred points, and isn't going anywhere fast without something to cart them around. However, this mean, green pain machine is quite cost-effective by many armies' standards

> Gorkanaut: New big walker. It's pretty well armored with 13/13/12 and 5 hp, has 2 rokkits (meh), 2 twin link big shootas, a scorcha, and the Deffstorm mega shoota, which pumps out a whopping 3d6 s6 ap4 shots a turn. This loadout is very nice on the overwatch, with lots of dakka being supported by a template. Also is s10 ap1 with 4 attacks and rampage in CC, so it'll shred most things it comes into contact with. Overall, it's an infantry wrecker. Has a 6 man transport capacity with no assault vehicle or firing points for...reasons, so don't use it to transport anything that wants to assault or shoot.

Nuadhu Fireheart
Chariot rules in the BRB make it easy to represent him properly, modelwise GW could update the vyper kit (maybe with a new variant, so you could have normal vyper, op nuvyper and Nuadhu in the box) or just design him with a fancy custom ride (just don't make it a sleigh)

White Scars Dreadnought.

"Before his internment within a Dreadnought, Honoured Temajin served as part of the great Kyublai Khan's Honour Guard. However, whilst locked in a duel with a fell champion of the Black Legion, Temajin was shot in the back by a Legionnaire's plasma gun and laid low. Whilst many White Scars find the prospect of being confined within the metal sarcophagus a horror, believing their soul should be allowed to roam free, Temajin has vowed to hunt down and enact revenge against the coward who shot him."

Nobz is a little enthusiastic about their staying power, but it's not inaccurate. Compared to, say, a jump unit of Assault Marines, vanilla comes in for roughly the same cost, has similar equipment, but has greater staying power even if it takes wounds. Give 'em a bosspole and you'll get marginally better results from Mob Rule.

Catch them on the charge and you'll get 40 S5 hits: even against power armour that's still worth it, and though you'll lose a Nob on that charge before he can hit anything (and maybe more to overwatch), you'll still be averaging 4.5 unsaved wounds. Second round is slightly worse for you, but no better for the marines at all - you lose 1, they lose 2, at which point they're down to 3 and you're still on 8. Third round you wipe them.

If we're saying basic Nobz are overpriced, we're saying jump marines are too, and you know what? I fucking remember terminator squads starting at 300 points and getting easily countered by massed gretchin, so don't start with me.

Gorkanauts... yeah, they're kind of eggs/basket, but they can indeed fire overwatch so against certain opponents you're only worrying about range - but you can easily wipe a lot of squads with a single volley from the mega-shoota. Sure, I get it, it's pricey and it's hard to find a use for it because it's not a super-heavy and it's not an assault vehicle, but it's not a Rhino either, it's a Russian doll for your mega-armored boss and a couple of nobz. Since they're slow anyway, it actually makes sense to put them in something that can take even more of a beating than they can and still shoot back.

Oh wait you're one of those "we should have monstrous creature as standard for warbosses and gargantuan creature for special characters and they should still be able to join units, which by the way should have I10 as standard" fags, aren't you?

Maybe you should stop complaining about players who are enthusiastic about Orks.
