The Flash Gitz are the richest, loudest, and most insufferable Ork Nobz you’ll ever meet. They trade the usual Ork love of melee for massive, customised guns and a lifestyle of flashy mercenary work, and they’ll happily remind you they’re at the top of Greenskin society.
What are the Flash Gitz?
They’re a type of Ork warrior, usually Nobz, who’ve gotten addicted to guns that make a lot of noise. Instead of charging into melee like most Nobz, Flash Gitz hang back and blast things apart with their oversized Snazzguns.
They’re most common in Freebooter bands, where they can chase loot and show off their wealth without some Warboss taking a cut. To a Flash Git, nothing beats flaunting your gear in front of the other Boyz.
Weapons and wargear
A Flash Git’s pride and joy is the Snazzgun, a huge, heavily kustomised gun that’s as much a status symbol as a weapon. They spend their loot on making these guns louder, flashier, and deadlier.
To actually hit anything, they load up on aiming gear: bionic eyes, Gitfindas, and Targeting Squigs. It’s a far cry from the usual Ork approach of ‘point and hope’.
- Snazzgun: a massive, customised gun that’s the centrepiece of a Flash Git’s kit.
- Gitfindas and Targeting Squigs: Orky aiming aids that help them actually hit what they’re shooting at.
- Bionic eyes: common upgrades for Flash Gitz who want to shoot straighter.
- Flashy wardrobe: they dress to impress, and they’ll make sure you notice.
Bad Moons and Freebooterz
Flash Gitz are most often found among the Bad Moons Clan, who share their love of wealth and flash. But their arrogant, treacherous natures often get them kicked out of regular warbands, pushing them into the Freebooter lifestyle.
As mercenaries, they can amass a fortune fast and keep every teef for themselves. That independence suits them just fine, since they already think they’re the best Orks around.
Infighting and one-upmanship
Put a bunch of Flash Gitz together and you get a competition that quickly turns ugly. They’re constantly trying to outdo each other, and that can tear a warband apart if nobody’s keeping them in line.
A brutal Warboss can turn that rivalry into a weapon. If the Boss makes it clear that open fighting means a beating, the Flash Gitz will instead try to outdo each other through reckless destruction and pillaging, which is exactly what you want from them.
