<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Gretchin Tactica?!?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Gretchin Tactica?!? I certainly don't! I lost the Runtherds from shooting before I could use them! Serisouly, with the woud allocation rules you lose them pretty quick! Making a Gretchin squad absolutely useless! I have a total of 30 and they are good for nothing! I should have just bought more shoota boyz! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201627.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201627.page GMT Re:Gretchin Tactica?!?
Meat Shield.Dump them in front of another mob and use them as cover.Fluffy and practical.


Another use is to have a large mob camp on an objective]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201667.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!?
my personal fav use for gretchin are as follows

bubble wrap : bubble wrap a group of artillary or lootas with a group of 19 gretchin w/ ruth. they count as scoring and are protecting fire power.

objective congo line: so you drew capture and draw.. err control ... well have da orks go krumping an dhave that group of 19 gretchin w/ ruth keep 2 inch coherance and congo line objective to objective. depending on placment I've seen 1 group of 29 (w/ 2 ruth) hold 3 spots ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201836.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!?
You ideally want a unit to control an objective and an effective firesupport unit. Other than it uses two FOC slots, Gretchin fulfill the objective control piece rather cheaply. Even fully outfitted, they cost you @100 points. Now you can add a lootas squad or artillery mob that can be placed anywhere irrespective of actual cover because you have your blanket of gretchin to provide them with cover saves.

Now I would never go ape-sh## on that and field 3 lootas with 3 gretchin units but I think 1 gretchin unit is a reasonable benefit to orks.

Also I will point out the single drop-pod dreadnought is really a non-option as is the deamon prince or deamon lord.
The grabba sticks mean -3 attacks (to a minimum of 1) and 30 gretchin mean you will not accomplish anything charging a gretchin mob with a lone figure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201877.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3201877.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!?

Holy crap, that was WAY beyond in depth
Added that to my folder-O-goodies to continue reading when Ive got to much time on my hands, thanks for sharing that one Jidmah]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3203059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3203059.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!? BS. They also work providing cover saves.

edit*
They also have grabba sticks, so they make an assaulting unit lose attacks. Handy when they get involved in a fight between your opponent and somthing you actually want to keep like boys or nobz.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3204513.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3204513.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!?

KFF Mek early on ("Do you really want to shoot autocannons at these Grots"), or to walk on from a table edge and claim an objective. Nowadays since I decided to field a Killwagon, I occasionally just part a Grot unit inside it as a scoring upgrade.

To a lesser extent, it's worth taking a weakened unit of Grots and running them in a Wagon alongside a character like, say, Ghaz. When it's time to crack a deathstar open, have the Grots charge the center of said unit so the majority of attacks get allocated to them instead. They will die several times over, but your killy units will be relatively unimpeded and be able to kill things after shrugging off the attacks of one or two guys in turn.

MSU multiassaulting and attack-pulling is a minor trick that when practiced properly can make all sorts of differences for your army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3271499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3271499.page GMT Gretchin Tactica?!? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3272662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3272662.page GMT Re:Gretchin Tactica?!?
Just remember to take 19 of them with 1 runthereder, or 29 of them with 2 runtherders.
For objective camping the first works well and comes in just under 70 points.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3273408.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/390397/3273408.page GMT
