I am convinced that they are only 30. When reading the Codex it suggests they are no different than a named character added to a squad.

50

For THIS reason:

Ork dex page 83, the green horde example army:

pt5, the nob mob:

(5) 5 Nobs.............190 pts
with two twin linked shootas, one power klaw,
a Waaagh! banner and a bospole including
a painboy with a grot orderly

So lets split this up:

5 nobs cost 100

2 twin ahootas are 10

a pk is 25

a wb 15,

a bosspole 5

NOW WE ARE AT 155 PTS!

NOW WE BUY THE PAINBOY UPGRADE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 30 PTS

if we then add the grot orderly, were at 190. The example army paid 50 PTS, so it must be right.

Do you get it now?

well just because everyone does it that way, doesn't make it automatically right. but also you shouldn't post itemized point costs

read this^ carefully.
thats an entry in the ork dex, an example list. I figured that phil kelly knows how to build a list with his own dex, and the way he does it should be right. And i only listed the points cost for demontration. Just read my post again, this time carefully. Thanks

That pretty much kills any speculation about RAI. Nice find, Merlin.
