try proxying things before splashing out on new models. unless you love painting and have bottomless pockets?

so much orkzy fun depends on the 'rock-paper-scissors-spock' nature of 40k; a horde army might do well on a decent table against slower armies, but on a billiard table or against a mobile army they will get blown away. GW missed a chance to make meganobs T5 - which would make them useable and possibly underpointed - but at T4 they will get fried.

imo 1 wound warbikers arent much better!

but whatever you play with orkzez will be FUN !

as a speed freak player i can guarantee that T5 bikers even with one wound will do well and will make you a happy ork player. mega armored nobs are fine at 2 wounds what hurts them is not having an invulnerable save there is nothing that says they should be T5.
