'''Freebooterz''' are [[Ork]]s who have separated themselves from their clan (by choice or through being exiled) and go off to live the life of pirates and mercenaries. The composition of Freebooter bands can vary greatly depending on their origin and history; some are the remenants of shattered warbands, others are eccentrics or fugitives from Ork society.
'''Freebooterz''' are [[Ork]]s who have separated themselves from their clan (by choice or through being exiled) and go off to live the life of pirates and mercenaries.  == Overview ==The composition of Freebooter bands can vary greatly depending on their origin and history; some are the remnants of shattered warbands, others are eccentrics or fugitives from Ork society. Freebooterz forsake their previous [[Ork Clan|Clan]] and tribal allegiances and usually wear a distinctive style of dress to emphasise this, often decorating themselves with ear and nose rings, '''Jolly Ork''' symbols and flamboyant clothing. As Freebooterz often don't have access to [[Painboyz]] or [[Mekboyz]]; their injuries are frequently have to be patched up in a temporary manner, thus many Freebooterz sport eyepatches, peg-legs or hook hands. Freebooter bands are often led by a '''Kaptain'''[[Kaptin]], these individuals are even tougher, more ruthless and foul tempered than the rest of their bretheren brethren and are usually even more ostentaciously ostentatiously attired - , frequently favouring large hats and voluminous coats in which they conceal numerous weapons and flasks of [[Ork Fungus|fungus ]] rum.  The universal symbol of the Freebooterz is the '''''Jolly Ork''''' - an Ork Skull and Crossbones motif which often adorns their clothes, banners and vehicles.<sup>1p9</sup>{{Fn|1a}}
