For the same point cost you can get a plaguebearer. 5++ shrouded t4 with a fearless that still allows you to go to ground and the ability to glance a land raider out. Then again there is something to be said about shooting 30 boyz...

The argument is only valid when the initial points cost of a unit is reasonable and cost effective. since this is not the case with CSM, the math doesn't work out.
taking your 1976 Gremlin to the car wash and getting the extreme wash with UV and Rust protectant....

moar boyz. the math doesn't work outfor regular ork boyz. if it was going to be cost effective it would have to be 2 points a model. 5+ save is only going to save the model 1/3 of the time, so should cost no more than 1/3 the price of a boy.
Spend the points on more boyz and get the weight of numbers(more attacks/shots) instead of trying to keep a lesser number alive.
math wise does the invul get better if the unit has feel no pain? or worse?

only if the FNP costs more points. if you can somehow get FNP for little to no points, then just go with the FNP. but if you Want FNP and you pay a premium to have it, then the math gets much better to make a case for the 5+ invul. the more expensive a model is, the more each line of defense is worth.
Take Draigo, hes already a bitch with a 2+/3++. add in an apothecary to take away 1/3 of the few wounds you Do get through and it becomes a very frustrating endeavor.
5+ invuls and FNP still don't give you more attacks when you charge or more shoota attacks on a target though. i'm always in favour of MOAR BOYZ!

Sold! This I like. 2 Boyz vs 3 Boyz, is what this boils down to. 18pts for 3 boyz with no 5++ // 18pts for 2 boyz with a single 5++

i do value you guys advice, but moar boys does not always work out on the table , like you never get all the boyz in 2 inch cc.
plus moving a ton of boys and transporting them is such a pain .
basicaly i was thinking a spanna boy unit in a truck with a pain boss.
so they would have a 5++ and a FNP

5++ and FNP is a 55% survival rate. In a trukk, you max out at 12. It is why I like 'Ard Boyz in a trukk. Good for a quick semi-durable turn 2 assault threat.
First turn 12" + 18" turbo boost, assault turn 2.

12 Boyz in a trukk with a PK Nob with a pole is what, 147 pts? 4 of those would be pretty good.
At 9 pts a boy it's still what, 183?

Looking at the foc movements in the dread mob list I wonder if it is a glimpse into what is coming for orks. Lootas in HS, bommer in heavy, etc.

Can dread mob ally with reg orks? I didn't think they could.

Yep, it's in the forge world ally doc. They ally as irks, except they may ally to codex orks as BB.
