I came up with a simple stat card for a grunt or cannaon fodder unit

Price: 2CP

Skill: 1D4+1

Move: 4"

Armor: 4

Notes: Stormtrooper Syndrome( or my cannon fodder rule )

Stormtrooper Syndrome: When 2 or more grunts are withing 2" of each other they both/all get -2 to skill rolls. This coming from the fact that in most movies( especialy Star Wars) when grunts amass their aim deteriorates and they have trouble hitting their target unless it is another grunt on the other side. This is a real syndrome and must be taken seriously, there is a full Wikipedia entry for it and there used to be a formula for equating what the probability that a stormtrooper would hit his target in any given battle. I will try and post it as soon as I can.

If you want a full-fledged grunt, you could do the rules similar to Whitewolf systems and 7th Sea does:

Grunt: Any attack that hits the grunt automatically kills it.

Otherwise, your grunt is about the same as a regular minifig, who's alreayd quite grunt-like.
