Whereas the typical [[Ork Boy]] prefers to smash things up with his [[choppa]], some orks get more satisfaction out of riddling an enemy fulla holes with their shoota. These are the Flash Gitz, orks who fixate upon having the biggest, fanciest, most dead-killy guns they can get ahold of. Unlike [[Lootas]], who will happily pinch suitably killy guns from other races, Flash Gitz focus their attention on getting enough teef to pay the [[Mekboy]]z for the fanciest custom shootas they can manage. Needless to say, other orks think of them as big show-offs who waste time maintaining and polishing their guns (hence the name), whilst mekboyz are quite fond of them. Flash Gitz tend to be pretty arrogant, but also quite deadly... at least, when they manage to hit something. | Whereas the typical [[Ork Boy]] prefers to smash things up with his [[choppa]], some orks get more satisfaction out of riddling an enemy fulla holes with their shoota.

In Crunch, Flash Gitz aren't a very popular choice, almost always loosing out to Lootas for a player's Heavy Support slot. And up until 7th edition, it wasn't hard to see why; Lootas reliably put out more Dakka from further away at a higher S value than a Flash Git for fewer points. 7th ed gave them a much needed buff, taking them from "assault 1, buy an upgrade for assault 2" to just "assault 3 at all times". The most interesting thing that Flash Gits have always had was the fact that snazzguns change their AP value each time they shoot by the roll of a d6; this means half the time they rip MEQs apart like so many 'roided-up pinatas. | |||

Whereas the typical Ork Boy prefers to smash things up with his choppa, some orks get more satisfaction out of riddling an enemy fulla holes with their shoota. These are the Flash Gitz, orks who fixate upon having the biggest, fanciest, most dead-killy guns they can get ahold of. Unlike Lootas, who will happily pinch suitably killy guns from other races, Flash Gitz focus their attention on getting enough teef to pay the Mekboyz for the fanciest custom shootas they can manage. Needless to say, other orks think of them as big show-offs who waste time maintaining and polishing their guns (hence the name), whilst mekboyz are quite fond of them. Flash Gitz tend to be pretty arrogant, but also quite deadly... at least, when they manage to hit something.
