Flash Gitz
"Mine'z shootier den yourz."
Obsessed with their Kustom Shootas, these Orks have developed a particular obsession with "dakka," and spend much of their time polishing and upgrading their powerful weapons, making them shootier, shinier and all around more "flash." Other Orks call these over-equipped boyz Flash Gitz. The Gitz give Ork armies some much-needed ranged firepower and are able to mow down enemies at a distance while the other boyz charge in.
Note that Da Boyz Hut has a 20% production bonus, giving Flash Gitz a build time of 24 s.
Flash Git Squads take up two slots in transports.
Tactics
Flash Gitz are high-damage ranged units for Orks, dealing large damage at an equivalent range to a Big Shoota or Heavy Bolter. In terms of damage output, two unupgraded Flash Gitz are roughly equal to one Wartrukk's fully upgraded damage output and have equal range.
Expensive in both requisition and Orky Pop at 2 population cap apiece, two full Flash Gitz squads consumes almost a third of the full infantry cap of Orks. Preservation of Flash Gitz is a priority due to this high investment. Usage of attached Mad Doks and Fightin' Juice is essential to preservation of the squads in a firefight. Possessing only 450 HP apiece, non-upgradable, a Flash Git only has slightly more HP than a Shoota Boy with Super 'Eavy Boy Armour and 38 less HP than Tactical Space Marine upgraded with Bionics.
Critical to usage of Flash Gitz are the More Dakka and Even More Dakka upgrades at the Pile O Gunz!. These upgrades boosts the already-respectable damage of Flash Gitz by 15% each. No other upgrades affect Flash Gitz.
There currently is a discrepancy with Flash Gitz with regards to Ork Mob Bonuses. Although each Git costs 2 Orky Pop, it only counts as 1 Orky Pop towards Mob Bonuses. This is influential because it can be difficult to obtain the Orky Mob Bonus!
Flash Gitz are incredibly vulnerable to melee combat and should be well-supported at all times. With the long range on their Kustom Shootas and screening by a Nobz Squad, this problem is easily avoided. In emergencies both squads can be loaded into a Wartrukk for a quick escape.
Attachment of the Big Mek or Warboss after their Big Shooty Boss Weapons research can be highly useful, allowing those Commander units to add their high ranged damage with the squad. A problem may arise in attachement in that both the Big Mek's Mega Blasta and Warboss's Kustom Shoota have 25 range compared to the 35 range of the Kustom Shootas on Flash Gitz, so that must be kept in mind.
