Gretchin On Sprue Plastic Warhammer 40k 2nd Edition OOP 1993 Orks

About this deal

This is a single vintage plastic Gretchin figure, still on its original sprue, dating from the 1993 Warhammer 40,000 2nd Edition era. The 2nd Edition starter box famously included 40 plastic Gretchin, making these figures a well-known part of that period of the hobby. As an out-of-print release, individual figures on sprue are now sought after by collectors and Oldhammer enthusiasts looking to complete armies or restore classic sets. Gretchin, also known as Grots, are a smaller subspecies of Orks who are more cowardly than normal Orks and are typically used as living shields, to clear minefields, and for other dangerous menial tasks. They rank low in the strict hierarchy of Greenskin society due to their small size, and are often given the dirtiest jobs. This piece appeals to collectors of vintage Games Workshop miniatures, Orks army builders, and fans of the 2nd Edition era.
