Author's Note: Sadly dear reader this fic may end soon as I'm running out of good jokes fortunately i've decided to just USE DA GRETCHIN!

Disclaimer: I do not own Warhammer 40k nor am I profiting from this fic blah blah blah

Quote of the Day: "A friend in need is a pain in the ass"


"Boss. Uh. Boss? There'd a 'erda wants ta talk with ya 'bout some'ing."

"Send da runt in den."

The Herda turned out to be quite nervous upon actually meeting it's Warboss, which is quite understandable when it's twice the size you are and has a reputation for heavy-handed stupid decisions. The Warboss however failed to notice this completely because a) all ork accents are practically unintelligible anyway and b) the Warboss thought that anyone who would rather tend Squiggoths than fight was downright unorky even if said Warboss would need said Squiggoths when an actual fight started.

"Well whadda youz want?" The Warboss yelled.

"Well, it loik dis Boss, I gotta muck out de Squiggoths evry week see, and I broke me lasst shovel uh month back so's da Squiggoth shits now knee 'igh."

"Knee ight? Dat int 'at big."

"It da Squiggoths knee Boss. An' if I don't get sum new shovels quick loik then da Squiggoths gonna get ill."

The Warboss seeing a problem with his war plans put his arm round the herda in what he hoped was a friendly manner.

"Dat's some problem, runt, so eres what I wants ya to do..."

The gretchin heaved the squiggoth dung into the wheelbarrow, before surveying it's follow workers. After being given shovels they'd been told to get to work and were half finished already. It glared resentfully at Herda who had given the order. The newly promoted Nob was quite pleased with itself, not only was the Warboss listening to what he said but he could now delegate the messier jobs if he wanted.

Meanwhile the gretchin were busy complaining.

"Dis has gotta be da worst job I ever done. Even being thrown at humiez is betta than dis."

"Tell me about it." complained another. "This job stinks."

"Ya think." said his shovel

Author's Note: Feedback appreciated. Sadly I'm starting to run out of steam (and gretchin) so updates will be becoming less frequent however I have one other 40k fic in the works and the idea for another. As well as upcoming updates for my pokemon and Runescape fics and even a sequal to my Night World fic. Also look out for an Alien fic coming soon.

That is of course if I ever get my act together and sit down writing for a few hours
