What is the best way to destroy a reaver titan

**Grundz**

You know I hear seer councils kill everything, all the time, forever, and are invincible.

but really, in most apoc-sized games where people are concerned about titans, people that ignore that fact and just run thousands of orc boys or similiar do extremely well since many people in those size games run titans and then everything else is anti-tank they will commonly completely forget to take any anti-horde firepower besides one apoc pieplate a turn.

if you really /must/ destroy it, think the same as any other high armor vehicle, lots of S9 or S10 shots, twin linked if possible, ect. ect.

**kirsanth**

Assault it.

Chainfists on terminators, CC with a monstrous creature, etc.
Anything that ignores the voidshields ignores half their defense.

**Fafnir**

As with everything, the answer is Ghazghkull.

**AlmightyWalrus**

With an Imperator Titan, of course.

On a slightly more serious note, loads o' melta should tear it apart, what with it probably being within 12" and all...

**luggnuts**

S9 and S10 wont help thats still 5+ and 6+ to penetrate and ignoring it and using lots of boys will kill me if they have at least one gun arm

and i am ork so i have no melta

**Fafnir**

Ghazghkull+Waaagh+7 S10 attacks on the charge=dead everything.

its apocalypse, you have no FOC, for the cost of that titan you can field hundreds of boys, they cant kill /that/ many.

**tekk_45**

Lots of nobz with pk and assault.

I dont play APOC, but I really have to agree on both those points.

QFT FTW!!!

All we need now is some sort of Ghazgkull delivery system....

**Fafnir**

A convoy of battlewagons or an allied apocalypse level transport should be more than enough to make Ghazzy the worst suppository a Reaver Titan ever took.

And now, for our new apoc data sheet - the Ghazgkull Launcher!
Fires Ghazgkulls instead of normal rounds!

**Grundz**

you know, a couple trucks full of tankbusters with tankhammers will be cheaper and more effective than a super ghaz-delivery-unit.

**Fafnir**

But will it be as awesome?

**Grundz**

orcs with rockets on poles is pretty awesome

**Fafnir**

What part of "giant armoured ork suppository" do you not understand?

yes they can

**Grey Templar**

if you plan on playing Appoc regularly it would be worth it to make/buy a couple of Stompas.

StrD attacks from the TCCW will rip many things apart and it has a load of Dakka to fire on the way in.

**luggnuts**

i have 1 stompa and will get another one next year but i do not think putting it in close combat with a reaver is a good idea ive done it many times before but keep getting wasted

**Grey Templar**

the reaver only has 1 attack unless it's armed with a TCCW.

What is the Reaver armed with?

**Fafnir**

2 attacks.

**abaddon=gargamel**

I'm going to guess you play an ork army. If so, spam tankbustas and slugga boys. Not that it matters, it's apocalypse. spam necrons, and use the third edition rules. or take LOTS of chainfists.

actually the chaos one has 2 attacks and it is armed with a power fist and a triple barreled turbo laser blaster

**Grey Templar**

getting your Stompa is still your best option. prehaps double charging it with Ghaz and some mega nobs too.

Kans should work too.

Titans have really low Inititive so your attacks should go first(kans, Stompa) or simultainiously.

Shooting really isn't an option as you are BS2 orks, although Grot Rokkits from the stompa can be a nice opening salvo(drop the voids with Lootas first) as they hit on 2+

**luggnuts**

cool thanks

**thehod**

Vortex Missile > Ghaz.

D Weapons > Ghaz, KFF, FNP, BW, Trukks.

D Weapons pretty much eliminate any chance of of getting any KFF save and titans have a stomp attack so even if you assault with 100 orks, he will simply stomp and kill 30 orks and lose another 25.

Your best bet with is to send Multiple EW wolf lords or one of the FW Greater deamons. For orks, maybe multiple Klaw Stompas since their Titan CCW is considered D weapon attacks.

The average Reaver is shooting 8 D pie plates and at 3 targets. It doesnt take much to place the templates to kill masses of troops or shoot a vortex missile to make a greentide dissapear. Coversaves are worthless and if he refuse flanks you, good luck standing up to it.

For the points of 1 reaver you can have 3 Klaw Stompas built to destroy titans.
