Ork Loota

thingiverse

Lootas are notorious thieves and scavengers of Ork society, infamous for their light-fingered antics and ability to pinch anything that isn't nailed down. No one can feel safe around a mob of Lootas - a brief scuffle with a Loota over a stolen item will often result in the previous owner finding his lunch, Slugga, and golden teeth mysteriously missing. Some Lootas are so efficient, they can even loot enemy vehicles. However, Lootas are also surprisingly open-minded about their possessions. If an Ork is skilled enough to steal something from a Loota, he won't claim it as his own - he stole it fairly, after all. Some Lootas insist that 'sharin' is an essential part of Ork culture, but most Orks see them as a bunch of thieving scoundrels with no honor at all. They play a vital role in Ork society, providing the necessary bitz for Mekboyz to complete their latest projects. Meks view them as top-notch customers and salvage experts. As a result, they are often found in Big Mek Warbands. Many Lootas are affiliated with the Death Skulls clan, who welcome their Loota brethren with open arms due to their shared love of thievery. As a consequence of their attitude, Lootas tend to become very wealthy by Ork standards. They trade their valuable possessions for more and more powerful guns. Their primary weapon is a Deffgun, a heavy shoulder-mounted gun made by skilled Meks from stolen or salvaged weaponry. In battle, they gather in mobs, providing fire support with their deadly firepower, often accompanied by Meks who want to see how their creations perform. After the fight is over, Lootas scavenge the battlefield and strip valuable gear from their enemy's dead bodies before selling it to Mekboys.
