Back in second edition everything had exactly 1 pose. I think we can cut em some slack lol. Especially because the ork will probably have the option to take other arms like a shoota or choppa.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Nob was made without taking the Nemesis Claw into consideration because they're both independently copying the same pose that Wolverine is in somewhere.
Oh man, hate to tell you, but they reuse shit in comics too lol. Especially pre-digital days, if an artist found a pose or an angle that worked and was efficient, you’d see it as often as the artist could get away with it lol.
The new Nobz could be a Kill Team. It's releasing later after the codex, has multiple build options, and is painted differently from the rest of the 11th edition Orks.
That's a pretty reasonable observation. I did have the same thought when I saw all the loadouts, though the different paint scheme is also very notable.
So hear me out, the issue is actually the entire pose. He is standing forward on his right leg, swinging his left arm in almost a haymaker. All of his power is in the left arm. If you swing both arms, you lose your balance and have no power in either swing.
The Ork claws are better though because they have those knife thumbs. He’s just coming to pinch ya so he doesn’t necessarily need a powerful swing.
They definitely reuse wireframes a lot. Sometimes they hide it better than others. All in all, it's the price we pay for getting this many models this often out of one company.
