[Epic] Orky questions

Here are some questions about Orks :

1) Does a Warboss, mounted on a Battlewagon, count as a) a Battlewagon with
an Warlord hitching a ride (which means he has to mount/dismount all the
time) or b) a Battlewagon with the 'Transport(1) only for the Warboss'
ability (so that he can stay in his Battlewagon) ?

2) Just checking : A Warboss, upgraded to a Stompa, has an Assault of 8, a
FP of 4, Armour of 5+ and a Save? Who needs (Greater) Daemons ?

3) When a unit is upgraded to a new unit (like the Weirdboy Battlewagon),
the original unit is _not the passenger, right? If the Battlewagon is
destroyed, so is the the psyker (?)

4) Are there any models for the Skarboyz ? I was planning to use the
old-style Stormboyz (the ones without the jump packs) to represent the
Skarboyz. Fluff question : I consider the Kommandos, the Stormboyz (with
JPs) and the Skarboyz (without JPs) Blood-Axes as they use uniforms and
camouflage clothing. However, the Skarboyz are associated with the Goffs
according to the fluff described in the Infantry section. What's the
'official' GW story behind the Skarboyz and the disappeared Madboyz/Wildboyz
?

5) Are the Slasher Gargant and the Mekboy Gargant considered 'Gargants' in
the E40K rules ? The Mekboy Gargant is rather small, and the one that I
have as two Close Combat weapons (1 saw as his arm + an extra saw on its
shoulder). Furthermore (I guessed this has been discussed before), what's
the effect of 2 CC weapons on a Gargant (Ass x2 ? Ass x3? Ass x4?) ?

6) Fluff : Are the Evil Sunz supposed to have infantry ?
