Ork players I've played against always added nobz/boyz/boarboyz/wagons
support cards to the corresponding company mob. Same happened with nobz
bikes. On the case of buggies, those were added alternatively to each buggy
mob, that is, purchasing two extra buggies support cards, each one would go
to a different mob. But I don't have any problem allowing to allocate all
buggy cards to the same mob.
IMHO the KOS should have a single buggy mob instead of two separate mobz,
like all other klans. It sounds more fluffy to me (and it is more consistent
and easy, from the rules POV). But that's just my opinion.
