For whatever reason my old OOP army only has 4 Gretchin stands (and thats after 3 infantry a stand). As GW does not sell Gretchin individually does anyone have any ideas on what I could use?
4 stands of Gretchin are simply not enough when most ork armies are runing around with 10+.

Hi Tadite, and welcome.
I'm currently solving that problem, which I share, by building up my IG and space marines and ad mech (and previously Eldar)....and waiting for the Gargant BigMob (when was it, 2008, 2009?), and toying with all-Guntrukk-and-Strompa-and-Gargant armies, but as anyone (probably L4 ) will tell you, troops are essential. 
So I'm all ears - well, eyes - here too. I'd considered using the Space marine era boys, which are a little smaller, as some sort of weedy-orky-punishment-boyz equivalent to Gretchin, but I'm not convinced yet..

Tough question!
Now that Gretchin are finally worth having, noone has enough. We'll have to petition Jervis to put out a Gretchin pack for us Ork players!
In the mean time, I mix mine in with older Ork Boyz, Slaverz, Blunderpuss Gretchin and occasionally other figures to stretch them out.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

As the Gretchin are bigger in later releases, I too have been using SM1 release boyz mixed in with later grots. It works well and adds to the rag-tag look of a mob in general.
Try E-bay as a source for these.

I'd use ratlings. They are no use in my IG army, I'd rather use converted figures for sniper units. Quick paint job and mixed in with a few gretchin should bulk the force out a bit.
Why am I helping orks?

"V" is correct, troops are essential! ?
Mixing the old SM-1 Boys with the Gretchins and maybe even adding Ratlings into the mob might work too. ?
And eBay or Bartertown may be a good source...

Just a thought, if you have left over Ratling Snipers, cut off the rifles, paint them green and there you go, more Gretchin.

The Orky player in our group never had that problem, he amassed a huge amount of gretchin to use as the 'ablative gretchin' shield. The big wiener.

Markconz,
Buy lots of the new boxsets, and only use the Gretchin! |
It may be a joke, but GW would LOVE it!
Shalom,
