I was thinking that, but given that SM are a rather popular army I
didn't want to be accused of the dairy thing.

Modified Troop Quality list.

Basic troop quality (i.e. "free")

Trained: IG with out Commissars in the detachment, Gretchen, Chaos
Cults, 'Nids with no leaders

Regular: IG With Commissars, Eldar guardian, Orks Boyz, all AFV
(tanks/battle wagons/buggies/Bikes etc.), 'Nids with leaders still
alive.

Experienced: SM/CSM, Eldar Aspect, Titans & Gargants, Supreme
Commanders (except SM/CSM), Ork Nobz, Demons, extra cost command
elements. (except SM/CSM/Harlequins) (i.e. IG Captain)

Veteran: Terminators, Chaos Terminators, Eldar Harlequins, SM/CSM
Captains, CSM Veterans, SM/SCM Supreme Commanders

There are no Green or Elite detachment with out an upgrade/downgrade

A mixed detachment is based on the 51% rule. If 51% or more of the
detachment is of a given training level then that detachment is of that
training level. This is based on stands/vehicles not squads.
Exceptions:
Supreme Commander Detachments are Experienced/Veteran.
IG Detachments with at least one living Commissar are Regular.
'Nids Detachments are Regular with at least one leader type still alive

A detachment may upgrade it's training level by paying 20% per level of
change.
A detachment that is downgraded is 10% cheaper than normal per level
dropped.

Note that all cost are for the detachment total point cost, not on a per
unit basis. Example if you want to make your "First company" all
Veteran but you don't have 51% Terminators, the cost to upgrade is 20%
the cost of the detachment, not the non Terminator parts of the
detachment. Note that transports AFV count in the 51% rule.
