The bottom line is that Orks are now likely to make up a significant portion of the player base at any given tournament, and you need some units in your army that are good for killing those massive 30 shoota boy units. Plague Marines with flamers, and/or Berserkers, hitting lashed units of boyz works wonders. Whirlwinds and Sternguard do a number on boyz. Hammerheads with rail guns are great. Note that most of these units are good against non-orks as well, given the new cover rules of 5th edition making plasma, etc... less efficient. Immortals, monoliths stack up well against boyz.
