I have a concept using the Freebootaz Klan Kultur to Maximise Ork Shooting and surprise opponents with Really Accurate units.

The Kultur Trait allows you to add +1 to Shooting if another Freebooter Within 24’’ Killed a unit during this Phase.

With that said, if you build a list around things like:
- Forgeworld Kill Tanks
- Dakka Jets
- Flash Gitz
- ShockJump Dragstas
- Wasbomb Blasta Jets
You will have an ORK army that hits on 2+ or 3+ Tops. This ought to throw some People off Guard!

A nice dedicated unit to kill a unit would be a battery of Traktor Kannon. Yes, I know, they cannot benefit from the Kultur Buffs, BUT, They still have the Freeboter Kultur.
The Trait only says ‘’If a Friendly Freebooter unit destroys an enemy Unit’’
So that way, your Mek Guns Target Flyers, Dreadnoughts, Transports for a kill each Turn and then expand a 24’’ bubble of +1 to hit to most of the Army.

So you’d have Dakka Jets shooting 18 times at BS3+ on infantry or even 2+ against a Flyer with the Stratagem.
You’d have ShockJump Dragstas Shooting a Bs2+ with their 2 Str8 Ap-3 D6 DMG and 1 Str8 Ap-2 3DMG.

Factor in the DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA rules for extra shots if you’re lucky.

I’d like some Feedback on a concept like that.

Tried the same thing allready, with mixed results.
Depends on your opponent and wheather or not you can trigger their trait.
Was quite successful against death guard, with multiple small squads (nurglings, cultists, plaguebearer and zombies), so I triggered it 4 or 5 times per game. If you're running against something like knights, Custodes or daemons with large blobs it's nearly impossible to trigger and get use from it at all.

But especially in large games, with 2000 points and upwards the trait becomes better and better. Must be brutal in an Apocalypse game.

Personally I prefer running my shooty orks as bad moons, since they profit from their trait all the time.
Exception would be an freebooterz detachment with mekgunz and maybe one squad of dakkaboys, since the guns don't profit anyway and the boys are great for killing cheap chaff. Also the flash gitz can use their trait inside a waggon, which is nice.

Even with the buffs orks as a pure shooting force aren't going to be top tier. An imperium soup will outshoot you, no matter what gimmicks you bring if you field a pure gunline. You need turn 1 assault to win against top tier lists.

The freeboota bonus works also in close combat, like a banner nob. A biker boss with the relic klaw or a bonebreaka are excellent for triggering the +1 to hit since they are devastating and hit on 2s anyway.
