Flash Git^[2]

Flash Gitz are a type of Ork warrior common in Freebooter bands.

Overview

The richest and most obnoxious Orks in any warband, Flash Gitz are Nobz who are absolutely addicted to guns that make lots of noise. Unlike most other Nobz, Flash Gitz prefer firepower to being "stompy", and thus prefer ranged combat to melee. They pursue lives of conquest and pillage, plying the stars for even more loot. They love nothing more than to flaunt their powerful weaponry and wealth in front of other Boyz, and are known to be arrogant and wilful. In battle, Flash Gitz wield massive Snazzguns and are equipped with enhancements to improve their aim, such as bionic eyes, Gitfindas, and Targeting Squigs.^[6]

Flash Gitz usually spend their wealth on increasingly kustomised weapons and equipment and are the most common amongst the Bad Moons Clan, flaunting their wealth with not only their large Snazzguns but also with well-dressed Grots and a flashy wardrobe of their own. These Orks often become outcasts because of their completely arrogant, obnoxious, and treacherous natures, frequently becoming Freebooter mercenaries. However this does not effect their own outlook, as Flash Gitz consider themselves to be at the very top of Greenskin society. Flash Gitz prefer the Freebooter and mercenary lifestyle as it allows them to not only amass a massive amount of wealth in a short period of time but also eliminates the requirement of splitting any of their earnings with a troublesome Warboss.^[6]

Amongst Flash Gitz, boisterous competition quickly reaches unhealthy levels. Their particularly obnoxious and belligerent attitudes leads to endemic infighting and one-upmanship. Such disciplinary issues can cause Flash Gitz warbands to implode altogether if left unchecked. But when directed by a sufficiently merciless Warboss, this antipathy instead becomes a powerful asset. Knowing that openly fighting will only draw the Boss' ire, Flash Gitz instead redouble their efforts to show up their rivals through reckless destruction and pillaging.^[9]
