Cowardly, incompetent, and utterly expendable – just the way Orks like them.
Gretchin mobs make up for their shocking lack of quality with sheer quantity. Naturally cowardly and spectacularly
inept, these diminutive Grots would much rather hide in a sporehole than take part in a proper battle. Unfortunately
for them, Orks have little sympathy for such instincts.
Driven into the fight by bullying Runtherds, Gretchin are used as screens, objective-grabbers, and disposable fodder
to soak up enemy fire that would otherwise be aimed at something important.
