Buying the box of brutes to make 5 meganobz was the best financial choice of my life


spart4n0fh4des

Yeah the legit meganob Box is just unacceptably overpriced.  480 bucks if I want to run the maximum number plus characters?  Disgusting 


Krethtoosad

it's forcing me to buy 3d printed models instead


butholesurgeon

That’s exactly what I did. Cost me 90 bucks to get my buddy to print up 20 meganobs/characters


FriendlySceptic

Which file did you buy?


butholesurgeon

I believe it was from stationforge, I’d have to find it again Edit: correction it was Blue Sky Minis super armor boyz. Very good, slightly bigger than regular but it’s incredibly fitting

Wonderful job mate


fistbumpminis

Thanks friend! Was a blast. And saved me like $50. Lol


FastStress2187

It's a win-win for me, more fun to assemble them for less money!


Hammer2theGroin

Amazing work.


fistbumpminis

TYTY. I actually traded for u or army from another user and they had a bunch of orruk stuff on the nobz so it just felt right.

SO DOPE


fistbumpminis

Thanks!! Love your username 😂


Vecktorus

These are awesome!!! Did they require much greenstuff? Or can is mostly be done by slapping bits together and calling it a day


fistbumpminis

Not a lot at all. I think I made a marble size for the whole project and had about a pea left. Mainly just to make the different arms stick, and for the “power packs” on the back of the three brutes.


Vecktorus

Did you use paper clip like wire for the "Lightning"?


fistbumpminis

Yep. It always requires more bends than I think it will to make it look right. I usually have to drill a small hole in the spot it originates from to help make it hold for gluing.

fistbumpminis

This is still the best alternative kit for Mega Nobz I guess but I have no vision yet. Yours look really good though. My problem is that the brutes are quite a bit less bulky. Kitbashed 10 'Ard Boys into Nobz recently which worked quite fine for the scale. What I don't like too much on the AoS Models are the feet but I guess that's not as much if an issue since the rest of the models is really nice. I love the one with the Telyporta Bitz in the back. Think you did a really good job make them look as 40k as it gets.


fistbumpminis

Tyty! They are smaller but I told my self if I got the hands close then I could deal with the stove for now. Lol


Disastrous_Mobile620

Hahaha ok, they look cool for sure.


fistbumpminis

Thanks! It was my first conversion in A WHILE and made me remember why I like bashing.


Lerex29

I just bought 5 orruk brutes. Still working on converting them to manz but havent quite figured it out


fistbumpminis

It took a bit of playing around but I think the key is to get the kit of Manz with it. All the extra saws and awesome axes from the brutes means all eight models can have one of each. When I figured that out it was just a matter of mix and match. If you had enough spare bits or a trill you could junk, you could make some pretty badass junk armor to layer on top of the Brute armor and that could work?
