Chris,

I've no problem giving the Snakebites Nobz, but it just didn't seem to
fit in with their anti-technology bit. What are Snakebite Nobz like in
40k? Do they have something instead of power-armour and really
customized weapons?

Hm - I didn't realize Skarboyz were a Goff-only unit originally, but I
have to agree with you that the unit is useful and plausible to have in
all the tribes (just call 'em something different).

Seems reasonable. Bad Moons must have at least 2 Shooty Boyz Mobs and
at least 2 Nobz Mobs?

Thanks for the info there. We can also give Death Skulls a 2 Shooty
Boyz Mobs minimum. I had noticed a lot of shooty Death Skulls in the
Battle Book but hadn't quite made the connection. :-)

Thank you!
