In my humble opinion, Nob Bikerz are one of the best things in the new Ork codex, especially with a painboy in the group. Here is the list at 1850 points.
HQ

Warboss - Warbike, Power Klaw, Da Finkin' Kap, Bosspole
Elites
Nobz x10 - Warbike, Waaagh! Banner, Power Klaw x2, One is Boss Nob with Big Choppa and Bosspole
Tankbustas x6 - 1 Tankhammer, One is Boss Nob; Trukk with Rokkit Launcha and Reinforced Ram
Troops
Boyz x20 - Choppas, One is Boss Nob with Bosspole
Boyz x20 - Choppas, One is Boss Nob with Bosspole
Gretchin x10 - Runtherd
Fast Attack
Dakkajet - Extra Supa Shoota, Flyboss
Heavy
Battlewagon - Rokkits x4, Reinforced Ram
Battlewagon - Rokkits x4, Reinforced Ram
Lootas x10
Fortification
Aegis Defense Line - Quad Gun
Warlord Trait
Tactical #2 - Night Vision. No roll for night fighting
Tactical #4 - +1 Seize, re-roll reserves
Zeus was running a CAD and the Raiders from Realspace. He also proxied three of the Reaper from FW.
BAO mission #6 Crusade and Modified Maelstrom
Dark Eldar deploy first
|
| On the Sky-shield (The HQ is under it next to an objective) |
 |
| Spam? Spam tastes good! |
 |
| The one without sails is the FW Reaper |
 |
| Sam Kro |
 |
| Oh! a WIP Battlewagon! |
 |
| Grots on a Quad Gun! |
 |
| Tankbustas looking for First Blood! Two Rokkit hits . . . two ones for damage :( |
 |
| Bikez rush forward and make a Venom Jink . . . no damage :( |
 |
| The unbuilt scourges take the hill! |
 |
| Turtle Time! |
At this point the pictures will be more sporadic as I started really focusing on the game. Ork turn two!
 | ||
| MELTA! |
I call my Waagh! this turn an assault the Reaper with my Tankbustas. I use Melta-bombs and my Tankhammer. Zeus made every one of his flicker-field saves. FAIL! My Dakkajet came on and smoked a different Reaper
For the Dark Eldar's turn two, Zeus poured 51 poison shots into my Nobz and only managed 2 wounds. 4 + with a 5+ FNP is good! The DE planes came onto the field and took out my Dakkajet. I lost one Battlewagon to Haywire from the scourges, but it was next to my objective 2, and I lost my Tankbustas to venom shooting. Moving into turn 3!
 | |||||
| Almost got it with the Quad-Gun... |
 | ||
| CHARGE! |
For the Sharp Elves they managed to wipe out more of my Nobz and half of my Lootas. I was making morale and pinning checks like a Boss and I only rolled on the Mob Rule chart one time all game.
FOUR!
 |
| Lootas in Ruins. Lootas were great all game. |
 |
| A "Tactical Regrouping" |
 |
| HOLD THE OBJECTIVE! YES IT DOES LOOK LIKE A POT OF PAINT |
 |
| The truck is still alive on turn 4! |
However, I was leading Secondary and We were tied on Primary and Tertiary. I used my Lootas to shoot off the Venom contesting my objective 1 behind my Aegis line and the explosion caused a test which the warriors failed. Then we realized that we forgot Power from Pain and that ended my chance for the upset.
It was a really fun game against the new Dark Eldar, this is the second time I played against the Evil Elves since their new book, but my first time playing against Zeus. I want to get in a few more games as he tests things out for LVO. Next time I'll probably take my Stompa. Thanks for checking it out. Comments are welcomed and appreciated!
I hate Nob bikers so much ;-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun game, but a tough Dark Eldar force to beat. I have to admit I have never played against them (having played when 2nd Ed. was in full swing, I actually prefer to deny they even exist...).
Unfortunately, I am unable to deny the existence of Dark Eldar. Two of my friends play with the army. Thanks for checking it out.
DeleteI not up to speed these days with 40k but didn't these 2 armies just get new dex ? anyway I see from you trying to get first blood that you roll dice's like I do mate LOL
ReplyDeleteDark Eldar is the newest 40k codex. Orks is really new as well. I have horrible dice luck, but it's good for making morale checks! Thanks for the comments.
DeleteGreat my friend ! Need to see how turns yours BatteWagons :)
ReplyDeleteThat new wagon I'm working on has so much strange stuff. A lot of it comes from a Robogear starter box I picked up for cheap on eBay. It will get its own post soon. Thanks for the comments.
DeleteWaiiiit....Mad are you going to LVO????
ReplyDeleteNo, unfortunately, I'm not. Two of my friends are going. I'm planning a family vacation to Disneyland this year and that is going to take up my vacation budget (and then some ). I'll get to a big event eventually.
DeleteHey, you can go if you really wanna!
DeleteYeah reading that response makes it seem like I don't want to go to Disneyland ...Not my intention! Sorry, Honey :)
DeleteLols, you're so cute. :D But you should plan a vacay for yourself. There's a cruise with Sanderson next Sept. If your Orks arent painted by then.
DeleteSweet! Gotta love the Wife's blessing on a solo nerdcation. Maybe ...Adepticon? Thanks, Bears!
DeleteI love the dark eldar, although I have yet to have a game with the new dex (so will withhold my opinion on it). Sounds like a fun game :). I am jealous of you Americans and your LVO, Nova and the like. We Brits need something like those too
ReplyDeleteI think that the new dex is really good. Deepstriking Venoms is serious business. I can't wait to go to a big event. Maybe my army will be painted by then....just have to quit buying stuff.
