What should I use against Orks in 750 pts and below battles, The Ork player I will be against uses lots of trukks and CC units like nobs and normal boyz.

Well, I'd take a winged lash DP,
two NM units in Rhinos each of which led by an AC with doom siren.
and some fire support units like Obliterators or Defilers.

I would recommend a couple of vidicators, for the large s10 blast.

Surrender the battle field cos the boyz will stomp you flat!

Maybe true but not helpful...

Main thing would be decent blast templates cos even with only 750 points you are looking at a lot of green coming your way compared to what you have. You will need to trim it down quick - don't underestimate the boyz ability to close into CC!
Move - Shoot - Assault - Smack!
It's a beautiful thing to see!
And that extra Str and initiative on the charge can make the boyz lethal!

Trukks move fast and blowing them up won't necessarily kill the occupants so stop them as far away from you as possible or make them attack a screen... something that will occupy them but won't risk any objectives.

If he has Ghaz you might have some issues with his Waaaggh! ability. And if does it - I wouldn't waste your firepower trying to take him out... 2+ is surprisingly difficult to get through unless it's ALOT of fire!

I'm sure there's other tips that people have used against me (lol) but I can't think of them now... hope these help

If you're running emperor's children then any psychers you have will have lash.

When fighting orks havok missile launchers + lash=dead orks. Rhinos with havoks are downright deadly against lightly armored troops. There are going to be lots of boys to shoot at so spend the extra 15 points on your rhinos to make them an ork killing unit.

Noise marine sonic blasters also do great against orks.

Noise Marines are probably one of the better choices for killing Orks because they excel at killing infantry.

Sonic Blaster Noise Marines will be a good foundation, they can function with/without a Rhino but I like the extra protection/options a Rhino offers.
A Doom Siren Champion will put out alot of nice wounds on them and it can be used to counter Nob Bikers if he's using any in that small of game (no armor/cover save and wounding on 4's).
A Vindicator or Defiler will help thin the hordes and force them to spread out, then you can use your firepower to help trim down the horde before you launch a counter-assault.

Sorcerer + lash + rhino with a 9 man NM squad provides excellent possibilities for flame templates that wound on 3+ that kills anything it wounds is a great way to deal with boys
