==Organization== Blu Toof has assimilated a few different minor klans into his own, and pointed them at the Tau. Here's a few groups of note: [[Image:Strait_Shoota.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Standard git wiv 'is standard kit]] '''Shoota Boyz:''' The standard boyz have been beefed up a bit by their looted Tau gear. Blu Toof trains them extensively, until they can march, drill, and form firing lines with an actual degree of discipline. They might not get a lot of Tau gear each, but a dakka-line full of boyz who actually hit what they aim at ain't nothin to scoff at. If an enemy actually manages to get through their fire into melee range, however, their natural instincts take over and the line collapses into a choppy brawl, at least until a Nob comes over and beats them back into a firing line. [[Image:Longarmz.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Pretty much the Vietcong.]] '''Longarmz:''' Da Longarmz are the closest equivalent to a Kommando in the Strait Shootas. They loot enormous railguns from Tau Hammerheads and Broadsides, make them suitably Orky, and lug them into the jungle. They are renowned for their ability to sneak through enemy territory with such massive weapons, although they usually are only capable of a single shot before the massive blue beam of energy gives away their position. Explaining a high-priority target to a Longarm is virtually impossible, but they can be counted on to shoot at the biggest git with the best kit. To an Ork, that's clearly the one in charge. (Yes, [[Ork Snipers]] are finally a thing.) [[Image:Kamikazeez.jpg|thumb|left|125px|'ERE WE GO MON]] '''Kamikazeez:''' Where most Stormboyz are well trained and disciplined, Kamikazeez are wild and chaotic. They reject most Tau tech and cyborgization, wear nothing but garishly painted shorts, and adorn themselves with long, matted squiglocks. The one concession to Tau loot is their universal embracing of Tau drones as transportation. Once properly modified, the drones can literally be surfed into battle, or attached to an ork's back in more of a traditional jumppack fashion. Skilled Kamikazeez can switch between the two setups in midair, and a sport of tricks performed with the drone has sprung up. In true ork fashion, a failed trick resulting in the ork smashing to the ground is celebrated even more wildly than a skilled success. It's possible that the unnatural focus on dakka and shootiness in the Strait Shootas has put huge psychological pressures on the choppy Stormboyz, leading them to lash out and rebel as Kamikazeez. '''Huntaz:''' The Huntaz are Magrumm Blakkrokka's kommando kadre, unlike the much of the rest of the klan they are traditional Kommandos in every sense of the word; though perhaps not many kommandos sport tyranid armor plating and acid gland augmented stikkbombs. Huntaz live for the stelfy foit, engaging enemies in close quarters or eliminating large groups of foes with explosives. In particular they excel at using looted 'nid body parts for weaponry and armor as well as tau technologies like stealth fields and the ever present oddity of squig-drones apparently unique to the Strait Shootaz. Choppas, Bombs, and the occasional pulse weapon are how the Huntaz get things done. [[Image:Chromeboy.jpg|thumb|right|125px|EKKSTERMINAAAGHH]] '''Chromeboyz:''' Tinboyz are an old manifestation of Orky oddishness. Simple automatrons often made in the image of the races they fight, they were usually made as some strange form of mockery and would engage in simple, often menial tasks. Chromeboyz vary in that their creator cannot be arsed to make something resembling a fleshy git, and that they're usually sporting discarded flesh taken from dead orks, or bits removed from boyz getting superior augmetics. (or what passes for such among orks.) As such its not that unusual to see an orkish arm attached to a scrapmetal torso which is precariously balanced on an enormous iron ball that uses a crudely modified camera for a head or something equally haphazard. Chromeboyz however, are universally useful as disposable ambushes and a form of passive defense. Many a would be ambusher or combatant has tried taking cover behind what seems to be a pile of metallic garbage only to have the junk assume orkoid form and krump 'em. [[Image:Blue toof markaloit squig color.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Theyz pretty kunnin once dey get a hang uv dings.]] '''Squiggadrones''' Something perhaps unique to the Strait Shootaz is their embrace of anything that aids in hitting a target, to this end they have carefully cultivated a breed of targetting squigs that soon find themselves integrated with markerlight drones. Partially via waauugh field and partially via augmetics these little monsters serve as an excellent recon, spotting, and accuracy tool. Many Longarmz will rig a Squiggadrone with Tau stealth fields and paint them purple, to use as spotters on their sniping missions.
