I quite often struggle between either Ork Boyz or Nobz because each of the would be great with this guy. Nobz because of the great combat, and Boyz because of their rule to help get a Warboss into the WAAAGH twice since he can join a squad of Boyz with the WAAAGH! Banner. Decisions, decisions…
Kustom shootas are one of my favorite weapons and I hope they start making a comeback with new kits! I think they were a victim of how easy they were to model. The sculpters at GW probably thought "any idiot can wire two shootas together so we don't have to take up space with those and can dedicated more sprue space to weirder stuff" then the new policy came down and they were just cut entirely. Although with the new super generic Kombi Shoota rules I think a person could easily count Kustom Shootas as Kombi Shootas.
He's super effective when teamed up with a Warboss and 20 man Boy squad with the +2" to move enhancement. I like to give him "Kunnin' but Brutal" so they can fall back and charge, too.
I was looking for a metal waagh banner nob on eBay . The prices range from the ridiculous to the somewhat affordable save for the s&h. Oh well the hunt continues.
Would you recommend him over a Painboy for a group of 20 with a Warboss? Was going for the 5+ FNP that the Painboy grants plus his melee has the potential to be broken AF, but now I'm curious if this guy is worth it more.
Goff rocker proxied as a warbanner is a dream I have. I wish I got that goff rocker when it was available. But I 'ate goffs, so I didn't think to hard about it until it was too late. 'ate goffs, luv deathskulls, luv blood axes. Cheeky gits are best orks.
