Lootas do nothing to the monstrous creatures. Lootas are awesome dont get me wrong but simply swapping them for lootas is not exactly how the unit is designed. Put a Warboss with them for a P. Klaw and the unit still fights like Nobs in CC. 2 wounds each and S4 T4. Again I wouldnt design your army around the unit but for 400 points the can be a unit that causes headaches for certain units the orks cant deal with, with ease. Try them out for yourself and see what you think.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031221.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031221.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it?

What is your opinion fellow orks


Don't forget they're BS 2... BS 2... :(

Regarding their role as MC-killers, consider that your 450+ point squad will put ~3 wounds on the average ~180 point tyrant and then get stomped. There's nothing they do that either lootas or some MANZ with power klaws don't do better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031271.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031282.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it?

No he's a flashgit and ergo sucks ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031375.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031375.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031467.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031467.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it?
Long answer: noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There are other units that do their job at least as well for fewer points and without eating a heavy slot.

Still, I can see some builds making use of them tactically, but it'll be hard.

I wanna see someone use Badrukk someday though, in his flashy battlewagon, his 10 flash gitz at his side. With Badrukk you essentially buy another warboss who dosn't quite have the same hitting power, but still hits really 'ard!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031590.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1031590.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1033864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/260180/1033864.page GMT Are Flash Gits Forth it?
I personally like them but you have to skimp in other areas to pay for them...

The main reason behind taking them is the 24" range and you can move 6" and then fire the 24" range... you can avoid getting assaulted (Orks do not perform well when assaulted) you can also deny your opponent the charge... remember they are Nobz with 4 attacks each! That is a total of 40 S5 attacks, if only 20 hit roughly 12 will wound against T4, against T3 you are looking at 15-16 wounding... With 12 wounds I think it is fair to see a Terminator go down...

I also like their guns, even though you only hit on a 5+ you will wound most infantry on a 3+ (Without Shootier) and a 2+ (With Shootier or against T3 models) thus giving you an effective 2 wounds for every 9 shots (the 3+) or an effective 2.5 wounds for every 9 shot (the 2+)

All in all I would just take More Dakka as it doubles the number of shots you expel, Shootier only if you are running 1 unit of them and have the extra points...

All in all I feel that Flashgits make a great counter to things that normally counter orks... (Short range flammers, Being charged)

Badrukk is just a beast if you get the charge as he deals 6 attacks that hit and wound on 3+ (against Ws 4- and T4) Flashgits are also not half bad if they get stuck in combat (they are Nobz after all)

Everytime I build an ork list, I fill my Elite slots quite quickly... So taking lootas instead is not an option...
