== Background. History==When Gorkamorka is finishedThe Gretchin Revolutionary Committee (in short, any '''G.R.C.''') has its roots in the tag system introduced for [[OrkGrot]] with a "tag" can get off s on [[Gorkamorka and join the big Waaagh! However, ]] by the [[MeksMekboyz]] passed a law stating . The tag system stipulated that you can only get on board once the big [[gretchinWaaagh!]] cannot starts if you only have a tag. As Grots do not receive tags, and so have no way off Gorkamorkamany Gretchin considered this unfair. This understandably upset the gretchin, and so Though they went on strike. The leaders of each community agreed to meet and discuss; so all of slave away for the orks [[Ork]]s and Grots in Mektown lined up opposite one another and the leaders marched forward. Howeverare abused, the orks opened fire prospect of never leaving on the grots, killing their leadersgreat Waaagh! was the final straw.

One day, the Orks discovered that the Grots, though they had stopped working and were never seen againon effectively on strike.{{Fn|1}}
== Appearance. ==The Rebel striking Grots are engaged in the "March to Freedom", demonstrating across Mektown and calling for "equal rides" for the Gretchin. After tense negotiations with the leading Mekboyz of Mektown, the situation broke down when a ragtag mobgroup of Orks attacked the Gretchin demonstrators. This was a foolish action for the Greenskins, as the roar of revolution erupted across Mektown. Though physically superior, dressed predominatly the Orks could not deal with the overwhelming numbers of Grots. Mektown became a series of running battles, with Grots laying in wait in red - slophouses and alleys to ambush Orks. In the end, the Orks superior firepower allowed themto prevail and the Grots were beaten back. The rebel grots made their way back to [[Skid Row]], the colour Grot center of Gorkamorka, in an event long as the Long March. Facing Ork attacks, freezing cold, and whip scorpions, many Gretchin died on the grueling trek. Once in Skid Row, the surviving Grots vowed revenge against their Ork cousins. They organised themselves into a revolutionary army, led by "Da Revolushun!Kommittee" .{{Fn|1}}

They are a stirring sight to their comrades as they lead them into battles.{{Fn|1b}} ==Equipment & Tactics==
Rebel Grots often have a lack of ammo for their weapons, and so use of mechanised vehicles is impractical for them. Instead, they use [[Cuttas]] and [[Big Lugga]]s, ramshackle constructions made from wood and metal. The cuttas are powered by a single triangular sail, relying on good wind. Big Luggas are more heavily armoured, and rely on grots and snots pumping various handles to make the vehicle go faster.
== Combat Methods. ==Rebel Grots favour up-close-and-personnal personal methods of combat, boarding enemy vehicles by weight of numbers and using close-range weapons such as blunderbusses, kannons and pistols. Their vehicles, especially [[Big Lugga]]s, are often festooned with boarding planks, grapnels and other items making boarding easier for them.  ==Notable Rebel Grots==*[[Da Red Gobbo]]: Leader of the Gretchin Revolution
