Games Workshop - Warhammer 40,000 - Orks: Runtherd And Gretchin - 11 Miniatures
Gretchin are used in large quantities to compensate for their lack of power. This is shown nicely ...Gretchin are used in large quantities to compensate for their lack of power. This is shown nicely by this set of 10 plastic Gretchin and Ork Runtherd. Whilst the bodies of the Ork Gretchin are in a fixed pose, there are 12 different head options to allow you some unique fighters. The Ork Runtherd also features several different customisation options, allowing you to intergrate several sets into your army, without it being too noticable. This small boxed set also contains a 32mm round base for the Ork Runtherd and 25mm round bases for the Ork Gretchin. All models in this box are supplied unassembled and unpainted. Gretchin mobs make up for their shocking lack of quality with sheer quantity. The natural cowardice and feeble-limbed incompetence of the Gretchin race does not predispose them to the arts of war, and a typical Grot would prefer to have his head buried in a sporehole than to actually participate in a proper battle. This box set contains 10 multipart plastic Gretchin and a multipart plastic Ork Runtherd, including: 12 Gretchin head variants and 2 Runtherd head variants, allowing you to assemble a horde of differently posed Gretchin. Models supplied with 32mm round bases for the Ork and 25mm round bases for Gretchin.
