8 Video Game Goons You Felt Awful For WASTING

So, to be clear, existence within the Warhammer 40K universe is one of abject pain and suffering at the BEST of times.

With never ending wars, the threat of demonic possession, alien races looking to eat your very face, and of course living under the rule of a supposed God Emperor who makes you eat your own parents baked down into corpse startch because resources are thinner than a Blood Angels patience, life is no bloody picnic.

Yet it's even worse for the Gretchin or Grotz as they're also known. These sub-species of Orks are as numerous as they are totally pathetic, either being used by their musclebound kin as ammo carriers, sacrificial pawns or in times of need or boredom, a tasty snack! They're equipped with the worst weapons, live incredibly shorts lives and are never able to rise above their station for fear of being literally squashed by someone bigger.

Now imagine taking all of that and going up against a Space Marine. With arms barely strong enough to raise their pistols they have to take on Captain Titus in Warhammer Space Marine, which goes about as well as you might think. As Titus walks through a hail of shrapnel they might as well be firing pencil shavings at him, and when he delivers them the word of the Emperor very loudly through the barrel of his boltgun (the word is BANG by the way), the Grotz turn to a red mist.

Poor little creatures, they've suffered enough.
