Hi!
I am new in this fantastic war game and I sart to play with the Orks, so I want to create some Flash Gitz.
What is the best way?

Get some normal orks and just extend the gun barrels more, put some ammo belts on them and make them in a "running" pose.

Hope this helps.

I have some ork boyz, I will try
Thank you

get a nob pack and just uber modify the guns

with Nobs its better?

ye but get you need a boys pack aswell the nob guns are much better for flashgitz

but the nobs are larger how can I use also the boys pack?

One of the plastic miniature companies (Warlord, I think) just released a bunch of ECW plastics with seperate floppy hats on the sprue. Cram some of those on your flash gits' heads. Don't worry about how well they fit - your average ork wouldn't.

@Petran the boys box set comes with tons of extra guns , just chop and glue 2 gun barrels together.

WELL seeing as Flash Gitz ARE Nobz, you should just buy the nob box set. The guns in that pack are AWESOME looking. It wouldnt be hard to convert those into snazzgunz

Personally I wouldnt use regular boyz and extend the guns. If you do that, youll simply have boyz with big shootas. Not flash gitz with snazzgunz

Ah i see ... never seen flash gitz in person before , kingcracker is right.

Have a look here OP , some conversions:

Well the orks codex suggest getting nobs and given em big guns,with orks you have lots of spare parts left and such so you just use those to make bigger guns and maybe some plasicard work with that.

Of course it suggests using nobz, they have nobz stats lol

I know but I am here to make posts for people to laugh at.

Try this thread here.
I build them based on metal and plastic Nob bodies with custom weapons.

Hey I remember that thread. Those are some cool gitz Anung

Thanks

In older ork material the flash gitz were often painted and described as Freebooterz, that is mercenaries and pirates. So go wild on silly hats, swaggering belts, sabres, etc etc.

They are also very common in the Bad Moon clan. Read a bit about them here. So yellow colours, and grinning moons are the right thing to do.

I'd reccomend the nobz, since they can get bigger and flashier looking.

So I need a new box of Nobz now.I will try it
Thank you all

I made these guys When I was bored. (they are Just 5 normal orks with Tons of Bits lol)
I just pulled out random weapons out from my 'Bitz Box'
Remember to give them an Eye-piece (I used bolt-gun Sights and Ork helmets with Coverings)!!!!!!
(and don't forget to add symbols to make them look veteran)
hope these help!

Those eye pieces are a good idea.

And yea best bet would be to buy a nobz kit. Its only 20 bucks man you can do it!!!!!!!!!!

How it looks for a flash gitz?

Some people might say add more dakka, aka more barrels and such. BUT thats pretty damn good for the first one! Nice job there

needs more barrels? I have much from shootas

i had an idea for a flash git , tape a whole bunch of random gun bits together from different armies, run a small string through all the trigger holes, have an orc behind pulling on the string.

It's genius!

LMAO that is truly F'n funny. Specially if it were a grot doing the shooting

Petran - Yea Ive seen some people make theirs with 3-5 barrels. That one looks really good tho so dont change it lol

some extra armor or equipment?

hmm...... Well they DO have tons and I mean TONS of "shoiny" necklaces and do dads and trinkets on them. It says in the book that when they walk you can hear them rattle and clank around. Other than that Id say your good

Scroll down past the Blood Axe Weirdboy (awesome!) for some really, really nice Flashgitz...

The one you made look pretty good Petran, nice and Orky...

But you have to make at least one with a three-barreled gun, lol.
