I was told flash gitz are underpowered, but I never heard a reason as to why.

With the amendments the ignore cover rule is pretty lovely.

To be honest, they suck badly.

1: Compete with heavy support, in which even big gunz got an upgrade.

2: Very points heavy for what you get, and to make them any better, you need to sink a ton more points.

3: Upgrades are limited, and by that, i mean useful ones.
No bosspole, pain boy or other such useful ones available.

4: They are still orks, so shooting is pretty poor no matter what you do.

5: Lootas do it far better and dont waste a heavy support choice.



There have been tons of threads asking about makin them work, and all have ended the same.
They really are just a poor unit thats badly in need of an upgrade.

Lootaz dont ignore cover and have a chance of only shooting once per model instead of twice.

Flash Gits can have a painboy and cybork bodies.

I like using flash gitz over lootaz because everyone gets annoyed whenever I bring more than one squad of lootas, where as people think flash gits are the 3rd worst ork unit.
