I acquired a box of orks and have never played them b4 . Just wondering how to tell the difference between boyz, nobz etc..... any and all help is greatly appreciated thanx

Do you mean someone game you a box of assorted already built and or painted Orks?
If so, then the best way to tell the apart is to go to Games Workshop website and visually compare the Orks in the Ork army section of the site (Linked below) to what you have.
Should be easy after that.
Also, Nobz are significantly larger than Boyz.

Ya sorry should've specified. I bought them from a friend and he put them together and threw um In a box. That's what I figured I just didn't know if there was a defining characteristic between them ... thanx
