Aye thats one huge uspside for our boys for sure God I love 'em Freebooterz ^^ What's not to like in an ork space-pirate ? Its like slapping Jack Sparrow + an Ork together and there you have it
Pro: Orks never Lose. If we win, we win. If we die, we die. If we run away, we just come back later with more boyz and win anyway.
I would post a comment stating that orks are not the greatest, but arguing with orks would only prove that I was not very smart. Dont argue with orks, it doesn't matter what they think anyway. It only matters if they are in you vicinity.
Funny thing is: there is no "antagonist" with orks They always turn on eachother tho x) So the actual flavour of the week tribe will be the antagonist at any given time x)
the wiki page on freebootrs is really informative, they aren't really a group it is just a general term for all the outcast type of ork http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Freebooterz even the ork gene stealer
there is enough different type of groups of freebooters, they could almost be a seperate race or division of the ork race within the playable game. That idea however, is not really feasible. If the ork freebooters were in control of the generstealer ork brood, then the tyranids wouldn't, if ever implemented. Parts of this idea could be implemented later, as to not actually take away from the crusade.
Well, even without the genesteler infested ork hybrids, the Freebooterz possess a potent force and they are quite dangerous as is + some of the named iconic figures, like Old Zogwort are deadly as hell... ^^
