A. Just go back to the cave


Nippy continued to watch the shooting stars in awe with the rest of the Gretchin. But, they somehow gave him an uneasy feeling. Listening to his Gretchin instincts he quickly snapped everyone out of their trance. "I dun leik dem. Lets get bak to da kave" said Nippy. "I think dey looks liek prettys" said Fun-Krusha 2. "Yeh dey doez, but dey jus seems liek deys bad fer us Gretchins" replied Nippy. The other Gretchins ears flicked at this. "You means deys gonna smash us?" asked one of the Gretchin. "Maybe" replied Nippy. That was enough motivation for the Battlewagon to fly forwards back towards the camp. However Nippy knew that the new Gretchin wouldn't simply walk right into the cave without being terrified of ever little shadow in there. If they were lucky there would be enough equipment for them all, if not there was definitely plenty of rocks.

Nippy stared in amazement at what he saw infront of him. "Oi Fun-Krusha! Stomp on dem braeks!" yelled Nippy. The wheels locked and the Battlewagon continued to slide forward throwing dirt and rocks past them. The Gretchin started to worry bout what it is that made them stop, Nippy and Wheely-Git weren't so lucky. Just in front of them, hiding in a ditch, was a small group of Gretchin. Nippy recognized them as they wore Flak armour and had Lasguns. They were the group that he thought they had lost with Fun-Krusha the traitor, who to no surprise was right there. The other Gretchin in the ditch stopped worrying and approached the Battlewagon once they saw Nippy walking towards them. Fun-Krusha however remained in the ditch, shaking. He knew that Nippy would be mad at him. Instead, Nippy lead the other Gretchin to the Battlewagon and calmly walked up to Fun-Krusha. Nippy took Fun-Krusha's Flak armour and Lasgun, dropped a rock nearby and walked back to the Battlewagon.

Fun-Krusha ran towards the Battlewagon as it started to move. Throwing rocks and dirt behind it as it went, he coninued to run behind it.

What will you do?
A. Forgive Fun-Krusha
B. Leave Fun-Krusha
C. Return to Fun-Krusha and execute him with the Bolt Pistol

Sinking feeling? Not when Ward's around.

It is obvious that Scout cannot be a simple typo, so it must be a new, as yet undeclared rule. Perhaps it is intended to be published as one of the optional House Rules, or FAQs as GW call them.

A. Forgive Fun-Krusha


Nippy watched as Fun-Krusha ran behind the Battlewagon, amongst a large cloud of dust. He tried to remember the good times, realising there were none he decided to at least try to get his revenge in a better way than mearly abandoning the lone Gretchin in the wilderness.

Nippy signalled to Fun-Krusha 2, obviously they would need to change a name or two, and the Battlewagon slid to a stop. The Deff Rolla trowing up more dirt. Nippy realised it threw more dirt around the place than the Trukk ever did, he enjoyed it though as he thought it made it look faster.
Fun-Krusha caught up to the Battlewagon, exhausted, he panted loudly as he weakly scrambled into the back of the Battlewagon.

"Nippy.. I is sorry" said Fun-Krusha in between breaths. "You needs a nu naem nao. Wez alredi has a Fun-Krusha" replied Nippy from the driver's compartment. His little Gretchin head stuck out from a small window in the back. Fun-Krusha could see the annoyance in his face. "Youz nu naem iz Bukkit-ead" said Nippy. Bukkit-ed just sat there in confusion, he opened his mouth to ask what Nippy meant. But, was quickly silenced by the mettalic thud of a metal bucet being slammed down on his head. "I kant seez" yelled Bukkit-ead. The bucket was yanked off his head and two holes were punched in by Nippy's Boltpistol, then Smashy cut a mouth hole with one of his saws. The bucket was slammed back onto his head. "You can neva taek dt bukkit off yer ead eva" said Nippy. "Why?" replied Bukkit-ead, his voice had a slight metalic ring to it. "If you doez, youz get smashed by me or by Smashy ova dere" replied Nippy. "Hu'z Smashy?" asked Bukkit-ead. "Da big stompy kan bak dere" replied Nippy. Smashy waved with one of his saws. Bukkit-ead gulped and then nodded in agreement to Nippy. "Good! We'z goin nao" said Nippy the Battlewagon flew forwards.

The continued down the dusty road towards the cave, the shooting stars were starting to disappear now. When they arrived back at the cave they managed to finally not just plow into the wall, but actually stop before hitting it. Nippy ordered the group out and they all followed him into the cave. The older Gretchin that had been with Bukkit-ead were relieved and seemed glad to be back in their small little cave. The others, however, bunched up and walked slowly into the cave, shaking as they went.

The crates had enough equipment in them for the new Gretchin, and by the looks of it at least 50 more. Nippy was glad, pew pews were fun to use. Once the other Gretchin had calmed down and put on their new gear, they walked further into the cave to explore it. They found a couple humies made of some sort of white sticks wearins some armour and laying around on the ground. Eventually they came to a big open room, inside was a large metal box with wheels and a big tube coming off the front of it. The Imperial Guard knew it as the Leman Russ Battle Tank, but the Gretchin had no idea what the hell it was. It was rusted in it's place, it seemed like it had been sitting around without being used for too long. Nippy opened the top hatch and climbed inside to look round. There were many buttons and switches, so Nippy decided to just mash them until something happened. The inside lights turned on and so did the outside lights. The engine started, but made a terrifying and high pitched grinding sound before making a loud thud and the sound of several chunks of metal being thrown at each other. The sound of it's engine dieing echoed through the whole cave. It looked like it was going no where, but just then something caught Nippy's eye. A small flash of silver over in the courner.

Nippy walked over to it to see what it was. It was mostly covered by a coat, but there was a small part of it still revealed. Nippy threw the cloak off and revealed a Plasma Pistol. It was decorated to the point it could be considered a relic and highly polished, dispite probably sitting around for the last 50 or so years, it looked brand new. Nippy picked up his prize and emerged from the Leman Russ with it above his head. The other Gretchin stared in awe at it. Nippy looked over it and accidentally pulled the trigger. The whole cave glew bright blue for a second as the hot plasma flew out of the gun and passed through the old Leman Russ' hull. The blue glow was replaced by the dull orange glow of hot metal. Nippy was amazed at his new weapon, but it now felt warm to the touch, the het that had come from it's single shot was pretty intense as well. He decided that he would keep it, but only use it sometimes as he still liked his Bolt Pistol.

Nippy jumped down from the Leman Russ and joined the others they waked back to the cave enterance. The Plasma Pistol had been named; Da Gretchinz Powa . Nippy couldn't find any room to write it on the side because of all the Imperial decorations, another obstacle being he couldn't actully read or write anyway. For short they simply called it Da Powa. They arrived at the cave entrance to hear a loud explosion. Looking to their left they noticed that there was smoke coming up from the Mek camp they had just left.

What will you do?
A. Run the hell away from the scary loud sound
B. Jump in the Battlewagon and do the same, except for the running part as they're driving/riding
C. Run back into the cave and look for another exit
D. Run back into the cave and find some good hiding spots

B. Jump in the Battlewagon and do the same, except for the running part as they're driving/riding


The Gretchins flinched at the sight of thick black smoke rising through the air. The camp had obviously been destroyed or at least heavily damaged, but by what. The Gretchin simply didn't know, but more importantly didn't want to know. They jumped into the back of the Battlewagon, Smashy clumsily dropped a few supply crates into the back, grabing them with both saws and struggling not to drop them on the way to the Battlewagon.

Nippy, Wheely-git, Speedy and Fun-Krusha 2 jumped into the driver's compartment and the wagon's engine started with a roar. It flew backwards and then turned to face away from the smoke. It sped away from it as fast as it could. The Gretchin would have to find a new base now.
There was a loud roaring sound coming from above them. The Gretchin looked up to see a large mettalic bird thing heading towards the camp. It didn't seem like it had seen them, they figured if it did it would probably turn around and start attacking them. They just continued driving away not wanting to find out what the large metal bird was. It slowly got closer to the ground in the distance.

As they continued to drive they passed a funny looking shack. All five of it's walls had fallen down, it had a bunch of chairs inside it and a small weak looking shoota followed them. It fired continually at the Battlewagon as they passed, but the shots just bounced off the armour. The Gretchin didn't really know what to think. Even though it had seats and a magic shoota that worked by itself, a shack without walls still seemed kind of dumb. They heard the sounds of an Ork fight in the background. Lots of shouts of "beakies". The Gretchin had no idea what it meant, but by the sounds of the fighting they might be strong.

What will you do?
A. Go look at the fight
B. Go back to the shack and mess with it
C. Create your own choice

Sinking feeling? Not when Ward's around.
