best ork datasheet per points tbh, kaptin badrukk was a more flashy and fun unit but for cheaper than a squad of boyz a few squads of 5 are amazing in pretty much any detachment.
Ive recently decided to go ahead and just paint and play my massive ork pile of shame and damn all the consequences. Really glad i found this channel. Busy painting 30 flash gitz right now. Waaaaagh!
I'm sure you already know, but for any lurking Blood Axes or thieving Death Skulls out there, most of the bits on the current Nobz kit (or even their Black Reach cousins if you are willing to perform the easiest of surgeries) are interchangeable with the Flash Gitz. So if you want some piratey-lookin' Nobz, or less-Flash-Gitzy-lookin' Flash Gitz, or you just want your lads to look different from the box art, you can by combining the two kits.
I'm putting my first unit of Flash Gitz together now, so I've not had a chance to use them yet. I will say that I wish that they still had Freebooter themed ammo runts to go with the kit like they used to. I'd get some off of Ebay, but I'm not paying $70-100+tax and shipping for a goblin with a box, no matter how flash his hat looks.
Is the Flash Gitz kit compatible (size-wise) with the Ork Nobz kit? 🤔 I like the idea of FG, but the pirate theme is daft (ideally, I'd like to equip them with oversized guns, but to look more like snazzy Nobz).
Oh I plan on it! Speaking of freebooters I’m not sure what you would considered staple units in a free booter army outside of flashgits. What do you think? Could be a fun vide. You could explore the different staple units for different clan/kulture types. In regards to lore not whatever is meta at the time. I picture freebooters more or less a hybrid of bad-moons, death skulls, and speed freaks. So perhaps flash gits, lootas, war bikers, mechs, and some boyz. Idk food for thought.
I’d say that Nobz are less well equipped in terms of Dakka. But they’re definitely better equipped in terms of Melee Weapons. Give me a squad of Nobz with Sluggas and Power Klaws or Big Choppas any day.
