Default Making meganobs

After reading a few deffwing posts on the forums, I am thinking of maybe going down that route but have a few hobby related questions.

So a deffwing army consists of alot of meganobs. £7.85ish is alot of money for a single model. Does anyone know of any reasonable conversions that are easy enough to do, I thought about converting from termie armour but am not sure to be honest. Also I noticed that on the GW website you can buy meganobs with either the combi rocket or flamer but I cant see the one with just the shoota. Do the 2 options come with the shoota option also ?

cheers

Joey

I think that a conversion with Terminator armor would look pretty neat. Its a great way to anger Space Marine players. I'd recommend though that you add lots of random bitz onto the termies, since orks love to 'customise'. :funny:

Once again Silk to the rescue. You have given me food for thought, Thanks.

Like I said in my Deffwing Krumpany list, if I select the Deffwing option, I believe that a miniturized tank would fit the bill quite nicely. Two Shootas located in the sponsons, and a Deffrolla with some electrified bits to represent a Power Klaw. Some additional armor plates would warrant the +2 save and if you went down the route of Cybork Bodies, well, they're already encased in iron and steel. It's my belief that this would be the best looking option to make a custom MAN.
