As per the title, I had a nasty game where my opponent, towards the end, was using lots of nobz squads. I figured a combo of my Kommandos and other stuff would be able to handle them, first by knocking them down with Luv Da Dakka until their invulnerability wears off, then by using a loota to keep them suppressed while the Kommandos shoot them down all the while they stand in burna fire.

Unfortunately, it seems that the Kommando Squad's Luv Da Dakka ability no longer affects Nob Squads. I tried it multiple times and it did nothing.

Is this just a bug? Is it intended?

One of the main ways they intended for Nob squads to be controlled while frenzied is by knocking them around with things like shotguns, suppressing them, etc...

Ork on Ork it can be a bit difficult to deal with Nobz, especially as powerful as they are now. While I like them, I've been trying to make better use of Kommando squads and their ability seems tailor made to help with with stuff like Nobs or Tac blobs. It just seems wrong for it to not work on them.

I was playing against a kommando just recently and his Shotgun definatly knocked down my Nobz. He then proceeded to grenade then with Stikkbommaz and his commander. I didn't lose the squad, but I was forced to retreat it. I'm not sure if the kommando ability is bugged or not as I have little experience in using them.

I might give try them out next round instead of using Nobs.

Yeah, Luv Da Dakka definitely doesn't knock over nob squads. I'm not sure, but I seem to recall it not knocking over the warboss either. This seems kind of stupid to me. In fact, I think the ability in general is kind of stupid, since it does not seem to do any damage.

Is it a size issue? I wonder if it will knock over terminators.
