Yeah, I think each of the 3 sprues has 3 extra boyz (maybe more), also
each sprue comes with 1 extra each of nobz, painboy, mekboy, runtherd,
and a banner bearer.

I used the three specialist units and a nob to make another nobz
stand. Also, I put a banner on each of my nobz stands. You can
custom build banners fairly easily and it looks cool, plus, it
gives you more nobz stands. Adding the banners and specialists
stretches you from 6 nobz stands to 10 and they look great.

If you have access to the old ork boxes, there are other kunnin'
ways to spruce up the stands.
