Hi,

I chose to use 3 per stand for Nobz, as well as Stormboyz and Kommandos. I never really liked the rather cramped bases of 5 of any of these.

For one of the Nobz stands for each 'Uge warband I made, I replaced the Nobz with a Warlord, a standard bearer and a clan-specific model (Runtherd, mekboy, bad doc, etc). I did have a lot of sprues which meant that I had the freedom to choose however.

Maybe you could put 3 Nobz to a stand with boyz or grotz in between to represent their personal helpers/guards?

Cheers,
Freshmetal

Yes, that's my take too - one character + bodyguard; adding a banner can be easy, especially if you use the old base stype banner pole planted in the ground.
My big problem are the grots - now where's that bag of rice... :(

I seem to have plenty of nobs though I also use warlords with the back banners cut off (you seem to get a lot of these and you only need one) and also one of the old sprues had sort of 'little' nobs, slightly smaller than your regular nobs and larger than the boys which make them perfect for filling a stand without too much overcrowding, though I do have complete nob stands also.
As Vanvlak it's the rice that I need.

Thanks guys for the continued feedback.

So on the new sprue is the ork with a single backbanner a Nob or a Warboss?

I went and looked on the GW online store and they had a figure with 2 backbanners. I take it that is a simple conversion?

I then went and looked on Epiccollector.com. Unfortunately does show any Ork Infantry.  :(  

Then finally went to Solegends.com. There they show the old Ork Invasion sprue with each sprue having one Warboss (having 2 backbanners) and two Nobz (having 1 backbanner).

Can't see any of the "little nobs" that Justinel was referring to.

Cheers

James

The new sprues also have the 2 banners as the Warboss and the 1 banner as nobs, same figs.
The guy I'm refering to is 2 steps to the right of the centre nob, I take it that this is the page you're refering to Solegend orks

That's what that figure is!!!

Thanks Justinel- I thought that was a normal Ork Boy. If that's an Ork Nob then I should have enough.

Nice one
:D

Weeelll, to clarify, I'm not sure if he's actually a nob, I just know that he is quite a bit beefier than the normal boy and bulks out my nobs wonderfully :laugh: , I wonder where you would find out what he represents.

Newbies (?!) ... :{  That Ork with 2 pistols in the air, was originally a Madboy (SM1&2) and in E40K a Skarboy ...  :D  So you could use him as a Nob to fill out the stand ! :;):

I am also using three Nobs and two Heavy Boyz - the stats give these guys two Heavy weapon shots anyway. The only time that I vary this is the 'Boss stand', where one of the Nob stands is the actual Warband boss and I pile whatever I like in the base. I really must get pictures up in my Gamers Tale thread!

The guys with the single back banner is a Nob. Two back banners I am using for Warboss.

To clarify, the second row, upside-down are: Grot, Madboy, Stormboy, Wildboy, Nob. Then the same repeated in the same order. I have just uploaded a picture of my first objective, and you should see a few in that.

OK, my first question - what to base Skorchas on - Warhamster bases, 2p pieces, or something completely different?
