There are those who would claim that the Orks are not the greatest of spacefaring races, that their voidships and weapons are unreliable constructions of scrap and parts salvaged from the ships of the other star-faring races, crudely refitted by luck rather than judgement. They dress even more flamboyantly than their fellow Ork Freebooterz, often sporting large tricorne hats and thick greatcoats that can conceal numerous weapons. The band is usually led by a hardened Warboss who prefers the title "kaptin." These individuals are the biggest, strongest and most cunning cutthroat Orks within these mercenary warbands. As a result, they roam the universe in small, often dilapidated Ork spacecraft, and hide out on isolated planets and large asteroids. The pirate band serves as these outcast Orks' new home. Their injuries are often superficially treated, thus many Freebooterz sport peg-legs, hooks for hands and eye-patches. Freebooterz are also recognized by the rag-tag appearance of their Ork bioniks, due to their lack of access to Painboyz or Mekboyz. These mercenary Orks are known to use this sigil to adorn their banners, clothes and vehicles. Often they will employ what the Imperium has named the "Jolly Ork" skull and crossbones icon, a universal symbol of all Freebooterz. Some of these Orks prefer to remain anonymous, some want to forget, some want to start a new life, but most have simply forgotten who they were.

Naturally, they are eager for adventure, combat and booty and are quite happy to tag along with other Ork tribes and WAAAGH!s as mercenaries.įorsaking their former klans' distinctive apparel, Freebooterz wear styles of dress intended to emphasise their mercenary status, decorating themselves in flamboyant clothing and piercings such as ear and nose rings. These Orks wander off and tend to form their own small, roving band of pirates and corsairs. Among the Freebooterz are a handful of unstable individuals who are particularly dangerous and aggressive (again, even by Ork standards). Most Freebooter mobz hire themselves out as mercenaries, or else they can be persuaded to join in a battle with promises of loot. Following the ravages of war or some other disastrous disruption of their lives, some Orks abandon what is left of their tribe and join one of these roving bands. Some of these Orks are fugitives, eccentrics and the remnants of shattered greenskin tribes and klanz, so it is hardly surprising that many Freebooterz have very treacherous and unpleasant characters indeed - even by Ork standards. These roving bands are composed of renegades, bandits, pirates and other outcasts. Freebooterz are greenskin bandits and sell-swords belonging to no specific tribe or klan but who will work with any tribe as well as stand against any other if the price is right.įreebooter warbands are composed of an amalgam of Ork mobs from several different warbands or Orks who have separated themselves from their former klan or tribe by choice or through exile.
