Bad Moon Nobz in Mega Armour | warhammer 40k 2nd edition | Orktober 2023

[@OldenDemon]

Your audio quality has massively improved, good work

[@Mattw1987]

Dem orks look like right propa boyz my gobbo tells me

[@kindermord]

Thank you for showing us your Nob.

[@flamingdonut9456]

It is rather impressive.

[@brionl4741]

As Terry Pratchett would say, his banner staff has a nob at the end.

[@MrTumnus1987]

Nobs….plural….he showed us multiple nobs!

[@xenocyde8498]

It was a very fabulous nob

[@euansmith3699]

Very impressive and fun nobzzzzzzzzz.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

😅

[@zachhughes9149]

Excellent work. Old orks look cool. Finally finishing an ork jet I started 2 years ago, myself.

[@dakkawaaagh13]

Nobz Salad 🤣🤣 great work on the paint and banner dude

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thank you Jim. Your banners inspired me.

[@edpaintsminis]

Good stuff buddy. Sound is ace too!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thanks mate. I have you to thank for that!

[@intzbk1]

The 2nd ed minis just had so much character even if they are derpy compared to the newer models. I sold all my my 1st and 2nd ed stuff years ago so I have been slowly adding some as I find them for cheap. I just finished Kill Team Strike Force Justinian using old beakies. These were all on 25mm bases so I just glued them to the new base sizes and covered them with Armageddon Dust so they all look like they are on hills. :)

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Sounds like a great kill team!

[@sevenproxies4255]

What's interesting about these 2nd ed Nobz is the fact that their mega armour ironically end up looking more high tech and advanced compared to the more blocky mega armor made in later editions. 😄

[@Malthus]

I remember reading my 2nd Ed books lusting over these models

[@pizzalord3n]

Ayyy awesome! ❤

[@toooldfortwowheels2048]

I love how back in the day they were basically orks in power armour. Brings back memories, I loved those old bold coloured boxes.

[@grlmgor]

But better 2+ instead of a 3+ armour save and a 4+ ward save.

[@JamesPowditch-ss5tp]

Excellent work some great looking Nobz 😂🎨👍

[@walt_man]

Your videos are so chill...

[@BrucieBonus]

The blue on your Nob looks good. You have a very interesting Nob in general.😅 But use caution when gluing your Nob.😂 I'm not too keen on Nob salad.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

The glue on the nob was definitely the trickiest part 😉 😜

[@Forced_Rhubarb]

Snazzy nobz indeed. I have been very much enjoying your videos; always lots of fun and a heady nostalgia hit, mm-mm-mmm! I shall have to venture into the esoteric realms of instagram before too long... Happy painting! o7

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Aw thanks. There's plenty of my stuff to enjoy.

[@Scrombo2]

Ayyyyy my first ork mini was a pack of meganobz as well, loved that big boxy look

[@6Stevo]

Beautiful trip down memory lane. I too struggle with the inconsistent Z or S at the end of unit and clan names.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Solidarity brother

[@adamfox1669]

I really appreciate & look forward to these Great stuff!

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

😍

[@OrionGaming0110]

Who doesn't like a bit of pink lipstick on their Nob!

[@dominichails6256]

Great nobz,

[@conmadben]

I have the plasma one. I bought it in a RPG shop in Hungary which had a 40k section and sold painted 2nd hand minies. I still have it somewhere.

[@soupman7401]

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thanks

[@Jimbo818]

There is an FAQ in a white dwarf (not sure number) that forbids mega armour on bikes or boars and cyboars. With the exception of Wazdakka.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

It was 204 apparently- so another person told me today

[@Jimbo818]

@Miniscape-wh40k cool. Yeah I do actually have it, but needs digging out 😅

[@Jimbo818]

Now, nothing was evet FAQ'd for a gyro monowheel, mega armour and a cybork body.. 😬

[@pontiusporcius8430]

Snazzy gitz Fer shure

[@redgreen09]

well looks good to me think got look and see if got some i know got one on bick but that me see as do more we will tune in

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

If you do have the old orks then treasure them. They are beautiful sculpts.

[@JEKAZOL]

Looking forward to Jokero January...

[@daiatnara971]

Proper 'ard-lookin' meganobz! Your fast styles for yellow, and the blue tinting of the black-based techy bits, really favoured the sculpt - and I share your dislike for creating banners, but the end result really was worth it.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

It was worth it. Thanks buddy.

[@ingot129]

From back when the Bad Moons were proper flashy.

[@TrentRosenbaum]

I was getting worried when you seemed to consider not doing a banner!! I always make paper banners and transfers for my oldhammer minis. These look the part and no I don't lose sleep over the names or is it namez??, but I have noticed it myself 😂 👍

[@Stormlordau]

Search 40kretrosupplies

[@craigablett3344]

Good vid mate,cant wait to see the kommandos they are my favourite ork minis,hope you put your own spin on them and not bog standard red ones 👍

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Then you may be disappointed 😅

[@thebucketofawesomeness8700]

Anyone else notice the dubious middle finger flipping looking transfer lol

[@ananimust]

I'd like to see a little skirmish at the end between the nobs and, say, that night lord creature thing. Would be cool to get a little feel for how the models he paints play

[@foam_blaster]

Your videos on second edition have got me back into warhammer. I have had lots of 2nd and 3rd edition orks and space marines in storage from my childhood. Really brings back memories going through all of it. Iv been tracking down all the gorkamorka and second edition models I always wanted. Thanks for making these videos. Really awesome. Is the the only step you use for skin gripper flesh ? I tried it but yours look better then mine.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Glad to hear it. I may have also used Elysian green and forgot to include it in the video.

[@foam_blaster]

@@Miniscape-wh40k okay, ill try that. Cheers

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

@@foam_blaster my issue is, I tend to blend paints on my wet pallette without recording the recipe. I think I made some highlights by mixing Elysian green with a bone colour

[@foam_blaster]

@@Miniscape-wh40k I am guilty of that aswell. Iv been trying to recreate some of the colors from when i was a kid. Im not sure if paint has changed or i mixed a lot.

[@danielcannon9893]

I really need to strip and repaint my bad moon nobs in mega armor

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Do it! 😁

[@sevenproxies4255]

I seem to recall that Ork Warbikes used to be somewhat overpowered in the 2nd or 3rd edition of the game. So the thought of a unit of Nobz on bikes while ALSO wearing mega armour sounds downright cheesy 😆

[@brionl4741]

Where is Thomas the Ork Engine? If you want some whacky Ork Hijinkz, you should try to get a copy of Freebooterz from the Rogue Trader era. Lots of nifty stuff in there.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thomas the ork engine may yet appear 😉

[@DavidCuthbertson]

Great paint jobz! It always surprises me that they’re only Strength 3. You’d think with that fancy armour they could have put that up to 4? I guess their weapons do the boosting so their basic stats don’t have to?

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thanks mate and yeah I think the power klaw compensates for the lack of strength.

[@kennethphillips6006]

Deathskulls do keep me up at night. Why isn’t it Deffskulls?

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Agreed

[@Bluecho4]

These heavily armored Orks in bright, glorious yellow make me think: with the right bits, could one convert Nobz from Age of Sigmar Ironjaws models? I'm sure someone already has.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

You have a point

[@rutgaurxi7314]

You would have thought someone would converted or proxied one as a Kork a bright spot in otherwise groan inducing "nu-lore" (it's fluff!).

[@mk-ultraviolence1760]

Criminal how there is no end video cover of Bad Moon Rising.

[@cloraformsgood5340]

Does anyone actually return to the minis at a later date to add details?

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Rarely but it's nice to kid myself

[@Triceratopping]

That 2nd ed Nob statline is tragic. Strength 3, 1 Wound and 1 Attack? 'OW CAN DEY PROPERLY KRUMP GITZ WHEN DEY'ZE DAT WEEDY!?

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

You are right but most stats in the games were worse at the time. Terminators were marginally better.

[@Triceratopping]

@@Miniscape-wh40k I suppose Strength wasn't a big deal, iirc most melee weapons had their own Strength values. And number of Wounds is irrelevant when most weapons had crazy Damage values. Ironic considering how recent editions have been...

[@spearshaker7974]

I got the pewter chaos lord on bull thing with plasma pistol unpainted in my closet ah juggernaut was the name I think

[@kharnifex]

I think it is faq'd somewhere that if you wear mega armour you cant be on a bike or boar, might be in battle bible or the faq in the 2nd ed fb files section.

[@kharnifex]

65. Can mega-armoured Orks ride Cyboars or Warbikes? No. (The special character Wazdakka Gutzmek is an exception, it’s one of the things that make him a special character). WD204

[@Belzediel]

From the Files of The Legends of the Scouse Marines "Nob." "Twat." "You what?" "Twat!" "What've I done?!" "You started!" "Started what?!" "You called me a knob, like!" "No, nob!" "Twat!" "Down t'hill, man, the big one with the pincers, like." "You what?" "The big green bogie-boy in't yellow whatsit." "Y've gone daft, Dave." "They call 'em nobs." "In't got 'em, they're all, like, spores, like mushrooms 'n' cabbage. It's no wonder they're so flippin' livid all time." "Cabbages in't got spores." "Oh aye? What 'ave they got then?" "I dunno. Seeds and that." "Well, like mushroom, then." "Those bogie-boys are mushrooms? S'not me'as gone daft." "That's what they said in't briefing, weren't you listenin'?" "I never bother wit' briefings. What's the point? They're all the same, know what I mean? 'Pop down planet, shoot all them funny buggers, back for tea, all 'ail Emperor.'" "What do yer do then?" "'ave a nap, usually." "..." "It's not like they check or anythin, is it? And I int wrong. I didn't miss anything this mornin' did I?" "You missed them bein' all like mushrooms." "But that don't make any difference, do it? I mean, unless they gimme different bullets, like, it's still shoot 'em lots until they've gone tits up then come 'ome." "You dunno what that is, do yer?" "The big spinny whatsit that bogie-boy is sittin on?" "That's the bugger." "Nah." "That's a strategic shokk attack cannon that is." "Whoop-di-cock-a-doodle-doo." "If they get that thing workin' it'll teleport an entire, like, elephant into the command ship." "Which is a naval problem, none of my business." "That's what we're meant to be doing, blowing that thing up." "Someone'll get round to it, they're always blowin' things up." "You're not 'elpin." "I am 'elpin', I am securin' the eastern raised area." "Wi' a bottle of dandelion and burdock?" "For the calories." "And the scotch egg?" "That's me lunch that is. If I don't have me elevensies lunch I get all dianetic." "..." "Yer just in a bad mood cos you didn't bring any lunch and now you're all low blood sugar." "Twat." "Knob."

[@troyloizouii2747]

Should have pixelated your nob lmao looks awesome

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Should I? Thanks though

[@sodapopbrosky]

[@paulhopkins8391]

not sure if it was already covered in the comments but mega armoured nobz cannot ride bikes or use jump packs. This was covered in a WD FAQ, can't remember which one. I know there is a special character that has mega armour who rides a bike, but thats part of what makes him special.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks

[@adamfox1669]

I promise I will find your email. I will send the legion of the damned squad (from 1994 I think) there are 9 including the sgt,-- and some extra pauldrons & hvy weapon. They are white metal and on small round ‘slotta’ bases.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

Thanks very much. Or send me a message on Instagram.
