Gretchin are known for their poor combat abilities, but they compensate for this by sheer numbers. They often go to war with a basic gun firing volleys of scavenged ammunition before falling on their enemies in an fury of killing, ripping them to pieces with their teeth. Orks use Grechin mobs in battle to do everything from minefield clearance to meat shield to living carpet. Some "lucky" Gretchin get to crew Orky artillery known as Big Gunz, and while they are not on the front lines of battle, crewing Big Gunz often comes with hazards such as electrocution, dismemberment and almost assuredly deafening of the crew. Other uses for Gretchin in battle includes their piloting of [[Killer Kan]]s, smaller, Gretchin-crewed [[Deff Dread|Deff Dreads]], into battle, and their use as turret gunners on vehicles and emplacements. They sometimes also accompany Ork Warlords and [[Flash Git]]s as ammo runts, follow [[Mekboy]]s into the fray as oilers, and run around as orderlies to [[Painboy]]s. A caste of [[Oddboyz]] known as [[Runtherds]] acompany the Gretchin into battle, and they are often needed to keep the Gretchin from fleeing the battle. These Orks ofen employ Squig-hounds and Grabba-Stiks to keep their charges in line.{{Fn|1}}
