Editing Nob (section)

== Types of Nobz ==

=== "Regular" Nobz ===

Nobz on foot are most commonly seen leading bands of Ork Boyz into battle. However, Nobz will occasionally form into mobs of their own, where they function as elite Ork infantry. On the tabletop in 8th/9th edition, Nobz are about twice as expensive as a regular Boy. In exchange they have S5, 2 wounds, an extra attack, a 4+ save, and Ld7. Compared to any other unit in the Codex, Nobz have the greatest range of options when it comes to their equipment. Each Nob comes with a Slugga and a Choppa by default. Either of these weapons may be replaced by a Big Choppa, Killsaw, Power Klaw, Power Stabba, a 2nd Choppa, or even a 2nd Slugga. Alternatively, the Nob may replace all of his weapons with either a Combi-Rokkit or a Combi-Skorcha. It is also possible to enhance the mob with ammo runts. While this wide range of options can become expensive if you go overboard on them, the advantage is that each Nob can be flexibly equipped as desired. The current Nobz plastic kit is quite excellent in this regard.

=== Biker Nobz ===

A common sight in Evil Sunz and Speed Freeks warbands, Biker Nobz are, as the name implies, a group of Nobz fighting as a unit where each member rides a heavily "kustomized" [[Warbikers|Warbike]]. Such a unit is a terrifying foe to face, as the speed and firepower of the Warbikes combined with their riders' prowess at close quarters combat allows the Biker Nobz to crush almost anything standing in their way. As of the 9th Edition Ork Codex, Nob Warbikers are an out-of-date Legends unit.

=== [[Meganobz]] ===

The richest and most battle-hardened Nobz can become [[Meganobz]] by paying a Mek to build them a suit of [[Mega Armour]]. Piston-driven and covered in enough protective plating to turn its wearer into a walking tank, this armor is incredibly expensive, yet it serves as the ultimate Greenskin status symbol.

=== [[Flash Gitz]] ===

Extremely wealthy Orks obsessed with the fanciest dakka. Due to the Ork economy primarily being based around being able to smack other Orks in the gob to claim their teef, Orks wealthy enough to be Flash Gitz are invariably Nobz in their own right.

=== WAAAGH! Banner Bearer ===

The banner bearer of a WAAAGH! is often the Warboss' Gak'ena (an Ork term meaning at the same time "best friend" and "worst foe"), and is the strongest, largest and meanest of the Nobz aside from the Boss himself. He is honored by being placed in charge of the warband's WAAAGH! Banner, which is the closest thing to a sacred artifact amongst Orks. The WAAAGH! Banner serves to attract the attention of the Ork Gods [[Gork]] and [[Mork]], ensuring that their blessing is always with the Orks. It also doubles as a more mundane means to transmit the Warboss' "orders," which means that it is brandished in the general direction the Boss wants his troops to charge.

=== Nobz on Smasha Squigz ===

Nobz on [[Smasha Squig|Smasha Squigz]] serve as Nobz of the [[Beast Snagga]] tribes. When a beast snagga Ork grows big and important enough they can choose to either continue to hoof it (after possibly getting bionik legs) or more popularly they trade up from a Squighog and can start riding giant Smasha Squigs and directing them to ram into enemy targets. Many Nobz that choose this route will have an armored plate implanted into their mount’s skull to maximize the damage to the target on impact.
