In a boyz pack it says you can make a nob out of the boyz. How? I don't get it lol. I'm new to the game.

Just use the bigger torso section with the longer arms and and bigger head, presto, nob!

Don't forget to give him the powerklaw!

I'm guessing you are talking about the box of boyz models, as opposed to the rules for taking mobz of boyz as troops?
Answers to both, as above,
The box contains one larger torso, a few larger arms, and of course the power klaw. You put those together and you have your nob, and as was said, don't forget the power klaw. You never want to leave home without it. It might be worth putting the boss pole on him as well.

If you are talking the rules, then it's simply a matter of spending the extra points to upgrade one of the boyz to nob status, and then spending the extra points for the klaw and bosspole. You'll end up with a model that is about 6x the cost of a boy.

The boyz pack includes two sprues which allow you to build five boyz each with slugga and choppa or shootaz and one sprue which allows to you build either a nob (powerklaw, boss pole etc included) and one special weapon boy (rokkit/big shoota) or two special weapon boyz. I would always build the nob though.
So you actually get eleven boyz and a nob out of those "Ten boyz"-boxes. Also keep in mind that you can get slugga and choppa boyz very cheap out of the AOBR set (by buying the set of getting parts off ebay), so you should always build boyz boxes into shoota boyz.
I have also seen on one of your other threads that you want to buy trukks. Have look at the battleforce, it contains two boxes of boyz, a trukk and a box of three bikes. You're doing yourself a favor if you check whether that's a better buy than what you were planning on buying.

Google just showed me that there is an awesome collection of sprue pictures right here on dakka, just have a look at it:

Aye, its all there, but you have to use normal boyz legs,which throws him off Imo.

Previous to the Nobz box it was that option or buy the expensive metal ones to fill in the blanks. With the Nobz box, I'd actually recommend Ork players to grab and use Nobz from that box for unit leaders.

They look a hell of a lot better, and if you don't use all five, you have spare bits, more bodies for an eventual Nobz mob.
In fact having all those spare parts, makes grabbing some AOBR nobz off ebay and converting them with the spares all the sweeter price wise.
