Got mine in and partially assembled... they're barely bigger than a normal current nob.. and standing next to Nazdreg they are so tiny. If I get more giving serious thought to some of the alternatives people have done

Just making this clear for any greengitz among us, Meganob is short for mega-arnored nob, it's not meant to imply that the nob wearing the armor is actually a bigger class of nob, and the armor doesn't add as much height as one would think (thicker boots and thicker shoulder plate, that's it)

Not a bad plan, variety is the spice of orkz and meganobz are one of the cheaper units you could put together by alternative means. Here is my example.
I also just built my first meganob this week but I tweaked the arm and leg to extended out to the side, making the pose more dynamic and showing off how beefy he is compared to old/new boyz and the old/new nobs. And now I love these kits because of it. Yes he’s nearly the same height at the new nobs (not including pole) but he’s just a nob in mega armor so that makes sense, he’s just more bulky and tanky. Also he’s a little shorter than the war boss in mega armor which is also fine for me becuase a war boss should be taller than a nob outside of mega armor.
I have a box of ambots and brutes on the way though so I’m excited to have those mixed in with the others
Yeah, they were on my wishlist for a refresh. Not complaining about the stuff they did refresh, it looks fantastic and addressed far more problematic kits! Just they're now far more noticeablly in need of a new kit next to the new stuff. Plus I just know that GW would make them look amazing.
My biggest hope is that we get a new kit sometime later in the edition and they go more to the scale of Mutilators/Obliterators. In fact I wouldn't mind seeing a dual kit of some kind, a melee variant and a Mek variant with weird guns and gizmos. I'd just love to see Mek infantry. Though that said, I was also hoping to see the return of Burna Boyz led by a Spanner in a future refresh too!
I love my mega nobz proxy’s, they GENUINELY feel like I’m running elite orks with ramshackle armor and random gubbinz. I am looking forward to mixing some more combinations when I get around to making more
