hi there on sunday i have 2 fight chaos and chaos deamons with orks any tips on killing em i know that they are going 2 deep strike all of them

Against chaos demons its good to play a mechanised or horde army. With both if you get the first turn you can spread out over the board and serverely limit where they can deepstrike. If you get lucky they will take out a few of their own units through mishaps. If they have the first turn then you will have the speed to charge them on the turn they come down. Half their army against your whole army is good odds in your favour.

As a Daemon player, I think your key is to go for hoards, daemons struggle with numbers on the table, my other bit of advice would be to not spread out, otherwise any sensible player will isolate you and take you out piecemeal

Isolating Orks? Is that possible?

I usually fill my deployment zone with all the boyz in my list...kinda hard to isiolate any one sqaud in a mess like that ...there are always more just a couple of inches away!

Okay well I don't play orks but I play against them a lot and happen to play some chaos, so i'll put in my two cents. First off deamons don't like shooting for the most part, unless you are fighting a tzeentch heavy list, more on that latter. Pretty much a 5+ inv save is not very good against a squad of 30 shoota boyz laying into them. Just take lots and lots of orks, swarm the hell out of the deamon player. Give the orks guns so they can just point and fire when they deep strike.

Now, if it is a tzeentch heavy deamon army, then things start to change. He will want to be as close to you as possible without being in close combat. Flamers, horrors and other units of the great god of change love to destroy large amounts of little ork boyz in the shooting faze. So take a lot of boyz and nob in trucks and battle wagons, swarm the hell out of him in close combat, make sure he can't use his nifty flamers to annihilate your squads, and take out screamers as soon as possible so that he doesn't ruin you speedy army.

Last off, deamons can be used in a lot of different ways, and it is very hard to cope for all their tricks, but the boyz have some sneaky tricks as well. Mega nobz, nobz, trucks, war bosses, big meks, battle wagons, lootas, flashgitz, and lots and lots of boyz. Take what you think is necessary and make sure to play smart and take advantage of bad deep strikes.

As does spelling....

Chaos space marines are not scary in assault versus orks. They do some damage but their most powerful assault units (terminators with mark of khorne) come in very small numbers.

When fighting chaos put Powerclaws in every unit. Send a mounted nobz unit (with various weapons to abuse wound sheningans) and warboss against the thing in the chaos list that has a lash of submission.

Without the lash chaos has a hard time against orks. Chaos doesn't have multimeltas that can get around the board reliably. So feel free to bring a battlewagon or two.

Keep an eye out for defilers.
