Nob Bikers?

I recently got an email asking whether or not I could come up with a Nob Biker list aimed at essentially guaranteeing a victory in a single scenario, whilst also being strong in the others. After about 30 minutes of trials, and a few tweaks, I've managed to come up with the following;

HQ:

Ork Warboss - 140pts

  • Warbike

  • Cybork Body

  • Power Klaw

  • Boss Pole

Ork Warboss - 140pts

  • Warbike

  • Cybork Body

  • Power Klaw

  • Boss Pole

Troops:

Ork Nob Squad - 570pts

  • 7 Models

  • Waaagh Banner

  • Painboy

  • 7x Power Klaw

  • 7x Warbike

  • 7x Cybork Body

Ork Nob Squad - 645pts

  • 8 Models

  • Waaagh Banner

  • Painboy

  • 8x Power Klaw

  • 8x Warbike

  • 8x Cybork Body

The list is aimed at ensuring a victory in 'Annihilation' scenario's. The list only gives away 4 kill points in total, but has more than enough killing potential to get a solid few kill points under its belt, before it simply turbo boosts away and avoids the enemy.

Where does the list suffer? Ordnance. Anything sporting STR10 becomes an issue, as with STR8 weapons you can simply allocate the wounds onto the warboss to avoid losing a Nob Biker to instant death. The Waaagh banners are also crucial, ensuring that Nob bikers make the most of out their attacks, by hitting 3/4 attacks on average.

If anyone has any questions about an army list, or would like advice, please feel free to contact me at: levett01@gmail.com

The Great Devourer - The Build Up!

Well, its been an eventful few weeks. Namely, I've now managed to reach 70 victories in row!! I'm aiming for 100, but this may be a little bit ambitious depending on how the 'Great Devourer' tournament goes in March, which brings me onto the main reason for this post.

'The Great Devourer' is a young tournament, boasting a rough attendance of 500 gamers, spread throughout WHFB, WH40K and LoTR, this is the largest tournament of its kind held in the UK. The points limit for the WH40K side of things is 1750, hence my previous post questioning if this will become a more common sight across the tournament scene.

Moving on! I have some reservations about the tournament. After recently contacting the organisers, it seems they were not familiar with the 'GT House Rules' packs that are available, nor were they planning to enforce any official Errata documents. After a chat over the phone, they are now going to review the tournaments structure and consider some amendments. On a serious note, I do have some concerns about the tournament, and will most likely end up offering some form of assistance on the day.

So, thats covered now! Moving onto the main event... The list I am planning to take to the tournament is listed below. I've taken a great amount of time in working out how it will perform against different units, and various list types I am likely to find at 1750, and can safely say I feel confident in how it will perform. I'll be posting pictures up shortly documenting the armies progress as I embark on the painting side of things.... (yawn!! lol).
