Hi! Here with a quick question on upgrading units.

Long story short: I am new and seeking advice.

Question: If I take 10 ork boyz it costs 60 points. If I wish to upgrade a boy to a nob does that first count the 10th boy in for his 6 points then add on the upgrade for 10 points to Nob status thus making the nob worth 16 points or when going for the 10 both can I then add the nob over the boy to take the squad from 9 to 10 members with one being a nob thus saving 6 points?

Another way to word it is when you upgrade a member of a squad to a higher status (In this case a nob) does the upgrade refund the base price for the unit?

From the Ork Boyz entry in Codex Orks:

One other model may be upgraded to a Boss Nob

For a Nob, you upgrade an existing model, you don't add one. That means you must have paid the points cost for the model before upgrading him.

cannot correlate their innate inferiority with their inevitable
defeat. It would seem that stupidity is as eternal as war.'
