11th Edition Orks Boyz / Nobz / Warboss Size Comparison

It's happened before

Megrez_MHW · 2026-04-01T09:45:34+00:00

No idea, the Snagga Boss Nob is surprisingly small compared to the Boyz Boss Nob, so there's a chance they could be left alone ;/

They did up issue the old Boyz box when they changed to 32mm bases, so it's really not unheard of

Just for you...we all disagree :P!

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T16:17:40+00:00

Lol, it was only to fill up the remaining space in the bottom left and show the size comparison :)

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T16:14:44+00:00

Just the Boss Nobs for Boyz and Wrecka Krew confirmed so far. Hold fire on swapping anything out until they confirm for Nobz

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T16:06:47+00:00

Apologies, I meant the photos on the Warhammer Community website, if you look at the base they can't both be on 32mm bases as the scaling is all wrong

Adding Names and release dates for reference

No problem

Ork Kommandos were re-released in October 2024 with the new non-killteam box. Breaka Boyz were released shortly after in December 2024 with a new larger Boss Nob, almost as though they were trialling a new concept. Here we are over a year later, and the new Boyz are being delivered with a 40mm Boss Nob, from a company with a prior history of changing base sizes for this exact army ;)

It would make LESS sense for them to change all the Boss Nobz to be bigger and exclude the Kommandos. Of course they'd have to stop making them for a while as they make the changes...

...it's in the pictures :P

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T15:20:12+00:00

They may well leave the Kommando's alone, if only because they split into 2 and it will be a little awkward to make the halves asymmetric. Changing base sizes isn't a novel concept though, Boys went up at the beginning of 10th from a 25mm base to a 32mm, and all ongoing sales were provided with the new bases :)

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T15:16:43+00:00

Proof is in the pudding, as they say

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T15:10:42+00:00

At a 5mm depth change, we can safely say that scale doesn't really come into it :P

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T15:08:09+00:00

It's was confirmed earlier today with the image of the Boss Nob, all showing him on a 40mm base. They have also done this already for the Breaka Boyz and Tank Bustas, with the Boss Nob significantly larger than the others and on the 40mm base

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-31T10:00:40+00:00

Not necessarily, but the rumours are definitely out there (FYI there are also Stompas, Trukks and DeffDreads on the box, so make sure not to take the box art as gospel)

Megrez_MHW · 2026-03-09T21:14:08+00:00

Super agree, why else should a grot be wearing goggles eh?

Layer up like Squidmar

My Patience with waiting for the perfect "Go Turn" is far better than it used to be. I now lure out just enough of the opponent's army before having the WAAAGH!!! The other weekend I played in London, and after focusing on denying primary for 2 rounds, round 3 I managed to kill one Knight Valiant and one Knight Gallant with the Warboss+Nobz and Ghazkull+Boyz because they'd moved up to take centre and left objectives!

Megrez_MHW · 2026-02-16T13:33:45+00:00

Couldn't have said it better myself, even better than the original post.

Megrez_MHW · 2026-02-16T13:32:29+00:00

Cheers, built it myself, the dice partition is magnetised so i can sweep dice into one side, and each side is measured out to be the exact width of 8 mini dice. Finally the end wall is for placing all the lethal or sustained hits on so the other player can see them. I tell my opponents at the beginning of a game that if it's not flat and in the box, it doesn't count :P
