30 strong is too much for such a throwaway unit in my opinion though. Go for 19 or at least 29 so you don't have to spring for another runtherd (You need 1 per 10 grots). They do not have combat utility. At all. You want combat, pay three more points for more boyz, and if you can't afford powerklaws make sacrifices to get them in other ways, because you need them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644338.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644338.page GMT Re:Grot units, worth it?
That Toughness 2 and no armor means they die even to lasguns if they are out of cover. There's no comparison to a real ork unit, even with 30 gretchin.

I like to use a 10-grot-with-herder unit for minimum points that are only there to come in from reserve and take objectives in my deployment zone while the REAL boyz do the krumpin' up front.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644344.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644344.page GMT Grot units, worth it?
Using big squads to screen/give cover saves is less common, because a mek with KFF can cover most of your army and doesn't force your mainline units to deploy behind it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644684.page GMT Re:Grot units, worth it?

+1 on objective campers.

I would suggest taking 19 plus 1 huntherder. Just have them go to ground every time they are shot at.

If your playing a KP mission, they make a good screen, and can be used to absorb the assault of a deathstar.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644802.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3644802.page GMT Grot units, worth it? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3645042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/414856/3645042.page GMT
