-----> Well, no one's nobz start with armor - you have to buy it. Any of
them can
have flak or "eavy armor (which is slightly less effective than marine
Power
armor), and then individual nobz & characters can buy Mega-Armor, which
is the orky equivalent of Terminator armor. Only Bad Moonz Nobz can get
Mega-Armor as a group.
        Orkanization in 40K is different, as most boys units are led by
one nob (2 for goffs), and seperate nobz mobz are pretty rare
(usually1-2
per army), so my snakebite nobz usually have nothing special for armor.
'eavy armor doesn't look right for 'em, so they get flak. My Goff Nobz
mob
on the other hand has the 'eavy stuff.
        I wouldn't penalize 'em for Nobz - they tend to take boarboyz and
squiggoths in most people's epic armies, but if someone takes a lot of
nobz it's not neccessarily out of character...

-----> Something like that. I'd put a "no skarboyz" in there too (can't
remember
if you did or not) They just usually aren't HTH monsters...

Need to get this out on the web somewhere...
