I just came up with an ork list id posted on army lists and realised id taken a ton of grot units, which got me thinking about an entire gretchin army. How does this sound for fluff purposes?

So an ork warband had overrun one of fabius biles testing facilities and the warboss told one of his grot ordelies to 'figur owt wat all dat green water in the big glas tubes does!', unbenown to the warboss, the gretchin he asked was pretty miffed off at being bossed around by orks all the time.
The grot (Gudfinker) took the liquid from the green vats back to the grot lair underneath the scrap pile at the ork settlement and started injecting fellow gretchin (including himself) with it. In a short space of time all the gretchin had grown to the size of river trolls!
Realising they were now bigger than the orks that had bossed them around (and squashed a fair few of them) their whole lives, they rebelled. Charging out of the scrap heap, sending scraps of metal flying everywhere, they took their ork masters by surprise and proceeded to rip the tribe limb from limb.
In a final showdown Gudfinker found his old warboss leading a last stand of orks, personally slaying dozens of the newly transformed gretchin. He slammed into the warboss, knocking him from his feet, allowing the other gretchin to pile onto him, clawing and ripping, leaving nothing bit a green paste.
The gretchin had triumphed. In celebration they drank the entire settlements supply of grog, which had been denied to them this whole time upto now. The clebrations went on late into the night with fires and guns roaring everywhere.
Upon waking up the next day, all the grots were shocked to find that they had shrunk back to their original size, a handful, like Gudfinka, whilst having shrunk, were still the same size their old ork masters used to be. There was also a notable amount of grots who were missing, and puddles of green ouze dotted ground around the settlement.

Would this be good fluff for a grot army?

Listwise it would only be allowed:
-Big Meks (Gudfinka)
-Meks (Big grots)
-Gretchin mobs (runtherdersare big grots)
-Grot tanks
-Mega Grot tanks
-Mek gunz
-Killa Kanz
-(maybe one boyz unit of 'big grotz')

Something like:

Big mek (Gudfinka)
Grot oiler

19 grots + runtherder (big grot)

19 grots + runtherder

19 grots + runtherder

19 grots + runtherder
