I have to admit, I miss the old Infantry battles of 4E compared to this 5E wonderland of APCs/IFVs everywhere. It's like we jumped from WWI to WWII.

thinking about the original post, I feel quite silly asking a question like that...
I am playing Orks, the answer to everything is assault it, attack it from the rear with mobility or ignore it...
Thanks everyone

Use Trukks to get in assault and bam! Win.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

My advice would be to lose some of the boys and add some lootaz. In all the games i have played the sheer amount of firepower they put out is horrible (15 lootaz put out up to 45 shots a turn). Use them to take out the most iminent threat at the time.
Not sure how many boyz you can put in a wagon but i would split some squads to put in them to take objectives with the foot sloggers maxed out seeing as they are the ones that are gonna be taking the damage.
Against witch hunters remember they are a short ranged firepower based army. Stay at a distance or get within assault range in a single turn using trukks and wagons

Cheese El. is right. Use a KoS army with all Boyz mounted into Trukks.

Too many cyborks.
You are paying through da nose for a 5+ save. This will help against power weapons and the odd eviscerator but sisters dont have enough S8 to really worry nobs. Suck up the hits for less, you will be doing so anyway two thirds of the time.
Battlewagons are good, but give them a kannon for the single gun.
