would you pay 10p/per cybork body and 8p/per eavy armour for those options to your gitz?

40 points gitz is freaking insane. Especially if the only perks they get would be a 4+5++

since they are the loudest and flashiest of the nobz it would make sense for the meks to see them coming from along way off and charge them double. is it insane though? they are nobz plus 4pts for a bosspole and str 5 possible ap1 a3 gun at the moment. so you take nobz and give them eavy armour boss poles power klaws and that is 52 pts for just a 4+, or eavy armour big choppa twin shoota boss pole is 35 pts for just a 4+, mega nobz being the best value at 40 pts stock 45 pts after boss pole 55 pts if you turn to killsawz for a 2+ cant run or sweep. none of which is much different in cost and doesn't grant you the fnp.

and obviously they other nobz are getting other bumps than just a 4+ save

Both Flash gitz and nobz are underwhelming atm. Both are too squishy and expensive and fill the role that doesn't need filling.

-The main problem with flash gutz is that they're in Heavy support. Even if you just move them to Elites, they'd see the board much more often cause as it's now, you DO need big gunz and in many cases you need battlewagonz for your boyz and it's better to take 2-3 at least cause 1 wagon ain't gona do much. And many players love to field deff dreads in footslogga lists.

-They're really squishy. They need ability to take 'eavy armor. And probably even 3+ armor but i feel it's asking for too much. 27 pts for 'eavy armored flash git would be a good deal. With something around 33-37 for a 3+.

Flash gits were included in the ork dex as an after thought because some one made a cool model.

The original flash gitz were a renegade boys 'space pirate' mob tricked out with kustom weaponz.

But as the boys with big guns role was filled by the new 'Looterz'.
The dev team tried boys with kustom assault weapons, but they found that they just were not effective.

So they tried Nobs with kustom assault weapons , as as they were not totally worthless they got put in.

IMO Flash gits should have been a Looters upgrade.
Eg A single looters mob can take a Flash Git Kaptin (at x points ) and the unit gets kustom weapon upgrade options.

Ork Nobs with expansive guns are about as pointless as grots with power klaws .
The may look cool , but are a completely flawed concept.

Put Flash Gitz in Elites, let them take 'eavy armor for 4 points a model like Nobz, and they would be a lot better.
