OK, I used to think you can only have 1 WAAGGHH banner per army - but now, I can't find anything like that in the Dex. (Maybe I am thinking last edition rules?)
a) So if I read it right, I can have 1 for every Nob (1 for any unit with a Nob in it).
b) Now if I can have one for every Nob, maybe I could get one for every Nob in my Nob's Mob to get WS10 Orks! Sounds crazy, but by the letter of the rule, I wonder if I could actually do this.
c) If I am normally restricted to 1 WAAGGHH Banner per army, I bet I would be allowed more in Apocalypse where limits like this simply don't apply.
Anyone care to verify these thoughts for me?
Thank you!

Only Nobz mobz may have Waaagh banners. It's not an option for Nobs in other mobz.

Nope. If the unit includes a Waaagh banner, you get +1 WS. A mob with 1 Waaagh banner has a Waaagh banner. A mob with 11 Waaagh Banners has a Waaagh banner. It doesn't say you get that +1 for each banner.
c) If I am normally restricted to 1 WAAGGHH Banner per army, I bet I would be allowed more in Apocalypse where limits like this simply don't apply.
That would be correct, but isn't an issue anyway.

You can buy as many as you want for Nobz mobs, for as many mobs as you bring. There is no restriction on that purchase. Note that nobz elsewhere, such as boyz nobz or kommando nobz, do not have the option to purchase one. The weapon skill provided from the banner is a single 'if' check... if you have a banner, you get +1. Not +1 for each banner. Multiple banners are generally not taken even in complex nob mobs, as there are cheaper wargear options to make the nobz unique and you can keep the banner alive as long as the squad.

This has been brought up before and sorry, you can't have ws10 nobs. The rules for the banner on page 33 in the codex say that "A mob including a Waagh! Banner has +1 WS". So having 6 is just like having 1 - the mob includes a banner and is therefore +1 WS.
You can have as many nob mobs carrying banners as you want in the army, though.

Thanks, guys. I figured a 10WS was not really allowed. But I also thought I could have one in a Boyz' Mob - I see now that this isn't so. Too bad. Means I can't have one for my Green Tide. :(

The plus side to putting a couple of WAAAGH! banners in your Nob Mob can be used for spreading out wound allocations though. Also if you do loose a Nob carrying one you can still continue to get the bonus as there is still a banner present.

In 4th WAAAGH! banners had a different effect adn were limited to one per army. You aren't crazy. Automatically Appended Next Post: Any mob that has one model within 12" of the banner may re-roll their "power of the WAAGH!" test
It was only available to a warboss or member of his bodyguard.

In a Society in which there is no law, and in theory no compulsion, the only arbiter of behaviour is public opinion. But public opinion, because of the tremendous urge to conformity in gregarious animals, is less tolerant than any system of law. When human beings are governed by "thou shalt not", the individual can practise a certain amount of eccentricity: when they are supposedly governed by "love" or "reason", he is under continuous pressure to make him behave and think in exactly the same way as everyone else.
