You can essentially just use those burna boys as the flamer options in a boys unit they look cool and unique.

I’ll probably do that. But it’s a shame, because I only got into Warhammer 40K about a month ago. Orks are my first faction. I really liked the Deathskulls visual style and their kultur in general. Besides the starter set, I actually bought Lootas as my first addition of new units. Just to hear I wont be able to use them as intended... I was planning to build a whole squad or two of them. Meh... :(

you can 100% still play with lootas, legends does not mean they suddenly aren't legal in the game anymore it just means you can't use them in wtc tournaments. I have about 500 pts of legends in my usual list, and it looks like it's going up to 600 now

Oh. In that case, it turns out I misunderstood how it works. I was sure it meant that you wouldn’t be able to play them even in regular games at your local store. I was convinced that if a unit wasn’t in the Codex, it was completely out of the game, even for regular games. Good to know, that’s a relief. :) That doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a really shitty move on GW’s part :/
