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. :)
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. 😄
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
I'd forgotten these sculpts. Wazdakka Gutzmek had mega armour on foot but +1Av on his bike to account for the extra armour (they clarified in WD not sure which issue. So I think that is how GW would interpret the MAnobz on bikes.
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.
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.
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 😆
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 😂 👍
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
@@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...

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.
@@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
@@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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Your audio quality has massively improved, good work
Very impressive and fun nobzzzzzzzzz.
😅
Thank you for showing us your Nob.
It is rather impressive.
As Terry Pratchett would say, his banner staff has a nob at the end.
Nobs….plural….he showed us multiple nobs!
It was a very fabulous nob
Dem orks look like right propa boyz my gobbo tells me
Excellent work. Old orks look cool. Finally finishing an ork jet I started 2 years ago, myself.
Good stuff buddy. Sound is ace too!
Thanks mate. I have you to thank for that!
Nobz Salad 🤣🤣 great work on the paint and banner dude
Thank you Jim. Your banners inspired me.
Who doesn't like a bit of pink lipstick on their Nob!
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.
The glue on the nob was definitely the trickiest part 😉 😜
Ayyy awesome! ❤
I love how back in the day they were basically orks in power armour. Brings back memories, I loved those old bold coloured boxes.
But better 2+ instead of a 3+ armour save and a 4+ ward save.

I really appreciate & look forward to these Great stuff!

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.
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
Aw thanks. There's plenty of my stuff to enjoy.
Excellent work some great looking Nobz 😂🎨👍
Ayyyyy my first ork mini was a pack of meganobz as well, loved that big boxy look
epic
ace
Thanks

I too struggle with the inconsistent Z or S at the end of unit and clan names.

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.
Thomas the ork engine may yet appear 😉
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.
It was 204 apparently- so another person told me today
@Miniscape-wh40k cool. Yeah I do actually have it, but needs digging out 😅
Now, nothing was evet FAQ'd for a gyro monowheel, mega armour and a cybork body.. 😬
From back when the Bad Moons were proper flashy.
Great nobz,

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
If you do have the old orks then treasure them. They are beautiful sculpts.
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 👍
Then you may be disappointed 😅

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

Thanks mate and yeah I think the power klaw compensates for the lack of strength.
I really need to strip and repaint my bad moon nobs in mega armor
Do it! 😁

I'm sure someone already has.
You have a point
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!).
