No one is exactly sure how the Grots came to be in the underhive, and some still refuse to acknowledge their existence altogether. Perhaps a stray piece of hulk, lost scout ship or just a lonely spore that by some strange twist of fate managed to piggy back a ride into the Hive.

But it would only take that one little spore to start a full blown infestation. Contained within each spore is the potential to create a complete ecosystem that will, over a very short period of time transform the surrounding environment into a orkoid habitat.

Starting with a perlifera of basic plant life, in the form of mushrooms and other fungus based goodies. Then you get squigs in all different shapes and sizes, followed by Grotz. This makes the cold, damp, dark enviroment of the underhive a perfect home for that tiny little to thrive and multiply.

Grotz are in no ways top of the Orkiod food chain, but if you get enough of them together even the biggest Ork will watch his back. Grots have a knack for machines and love to tinker with anything they can get their hands on. But since they never follow the instructions their guns and technology can semm quite odd looking to the human eye. And when there not building the weid and wonderful they can be found raising Squigs and farming mushrooms.

Grots are by no means the strongest fighters or even the best shots; But what they lack in size, and aiming ability, they more than make up for in goblin ingenuity and sheer numbers. The Grot palyer should learn to expect casualties, but never fear because there are always plenty more where they came from.

Pretty much anything goes (with opponent approval ofcourse). Use the following rules as a starting point and from there the skies the limit. Can cam have as many troop options as you have do time to dream them up. From giant squig transports to slobbering trolls. This guide is mean as a starting point for the true goblin fanatics (pun intended) to really shine.

Grot metabolisms make them extremely resilient to injury and will often survive injuries that would kill a normal ganger. A Grot who goes out of action may re-roll a result on the Serious Injuries table if he doesn’t like the first roll, except a capture result. However, if he chooses to re-roll he must accept the second result.
