Increase the size of Nobs

    Please consider scaling the models of Nobs up a bit compared to normal Boyz. Nobs are always bigger than their counterparts, that's why they're Nobs :D

    Nothing dramatic, just a little bigger, more intimidating looking. I realize that large model means even easier to hit than we already are but I feel it must be done for lore reasons.

    This topic has been discussed to death and why it wont work . Cover, hitboxes, hell even doorways would have to be edited to compensate for this size increase ( as would the pipes on harkus and medusa ) which is why many people want ro change the name to skarboys who are similair to boys in size but are the Ork analoug to Veterans of other factions in lore.

  3. Bah, I suppose that could work.

    But I want to be a big giant metal mouthed Nob :(

    Hur hur hur. Not everyone needs to. Et cetera, et cetera.

  5. Shouldn't be that hard to universally change those parameters. I wouldn't even mind losing out on the cover system, if nobs were to get a healthbuff or something similar to compensate. But since we are expecting to see Terminators at some point, stuff needs to be made bigger anyway. Nobs need to be larger than the boys, otherwise it's lore breaking. In a really bad way. It's like omitting to give the eldar their shrine system.
  6. Doorways and such are not really the problem
    They need to be reworked anyways when termies and equivalets are added
    Or it will be a natural downside of the elites but who knows

    Problems will be all the animations
    Including weapon holding and such

    Bigger hit box could be compensated with more hp/armor

    Let's see what they can do ^^

    Oh god, I really hope that they don't make Terminators the same size as a Space Marine. :confused:

    Well i mean, i wouldn't have any problem with being oversized for cover, have bigger hitbox etc.. if HP and armor got a buff in exchange. It's really stupid to play as a Nob and look like normal boyz do. Kills the war boner

  9. I need them to look different, maybe bigger. But the first thing is to make them notable among the boyz
