Description
Swarm the battlefield with the cunning and chaotic Ork Gretchin, a classic unit from Warhammer 40,000. These mischievous Grots may be small, but they play a vital role in any Ork army – overwhelming enemies with sheer numbers, holding objectives, and supporting larger Ork units.
This multipart plastic kit from Games Workshop includes 10 Gretchin and 1 Ork Runtherd, offering a complete mob ready for tabletop action. With multiple head variants and dynamic poses, you can customise your Gretchin horde to create a unique and characterful unit.

Packed with personality, these miniatures feature classic Ork humour and detail—from ramshackle weapons to expressive faces—making them a fun addition for hobbyists, painters, and collectors alike.
