As with all Ork vehicles Fighta-Bommerz are kit-bashed affairs that usually defy the laws of aerodynamics, and fly despite their ungainly, brutish construction. The standard Fighta-Bommer is armed with three Big Shootas and the clever "Grot Bomb". It relies on its heavy armament and reinforced armor plating to make up for its lack of speed and maneuverability when compared to other aircraft¹.

The uses for the Ork Fighta-Bommer are rather limited. While generally more durable, the craft is easily outclassed by similar craft flown by the Imperial Navy, the Tau Air Caste, or the Eldar fleets. Throughout the [[Dawn of War]] campaigns the Fighta-Bommerz made frequent appearances as a Courier Dropship which dropped the various gubbins needed to assemble Ork base structures². [[Orkamungus]] used the Fighta-Bommer in this role, as did Warlord [[Gorgutz]] 'Ead 'Unta on Lorn V. On Kronus, Gorgutz fought to control an ancient Adeptus Mechanicus relay station, merged with Tau technology³. By plotting courses that avoided the crossfire of the Tau and Imperial fleets battling in orbit, Gorgutz was able to use Fighta-Bommerz to make strikes deep into the territory held by his enemies. Finally in the Kaurava system, Warlord Gorgutz would actually use the craft in a limited combat role as an aerial support unit⁴. While the Evil Suns clan has some apprieciation for the craft due to its blistering speed⁵, Grogutz remains the only Warboss known to use the Fighta-Bommerz in this way.
