Nob
,no edit summary
==Overview==
Nobz are the larger Ork [[Ork Boyz|boyz]] who are still smaller than the [[Warboss]] of a tribe, but are able to exert their authority upon their peers through their sheer size and commanding, if brutish, nature. The term "Nob" is believed to be short for a parody of the Gothic word 'Nobles', but pronounced by the guttural Orkish throats as 'Knobs'. They usually get the best pick of the weapons and armour whenever the mob comes across anything worth taking. Nobs are usually found barking orders to mobs of boyz, but its not uncommon to find them in elite squads of their own, or forming the bodyguard for the Warboss, where they will probably in squads of Meganobz.{{Fn|1}{{Fn|3a}} Standard Nobz wield a variety of deadly wargear in battle, including [[Slugga]]s, twin-linked [[Shoota]]s, [[Kombi-Weapon]]s, [[Stikkbomb]]s, [[Choppa]]s, [[Big Choppa]]s, [[Killsaw]]s, [[Power Klaw]]s, and [[Power Stabba]]s.{{Fn|3a9}}
