Kill his transport, then focus on the rest of his army whilst he slowly walks up the board. By the time he's a threat again, the game is likely to be either over, or he won't have enough time to make much of an impact.

Of course, if he gets lucky and ends up zooming across the table towards you, level the git with your Broadsides, or tarpit him with Kroot.

Its been mentioned but assault terminators are a great way to go. People seem to forget them because always talk of TH/SS or just normal terminators. Another unit that might work well is Sternguard. But you get the charge with assault termies, and focus on killing Ghaz, they will then have a decent chance of surviving the assault of the boyz or whatever hes with. Even if the boyz KO the terminators, whats left? Boyz? Well they are not scary

I have used CIB to great effect against ghazzy, 5 shots at bs5 with a chance for ap1? sounds good to me

Jaws of the World Wolf.

*sigh*

yup, fething JOTWW..

Sniping ork specials with the grand canyon is very effective.

You know how many FWs I've lost to that??? Oodles

Ghazzskull will murder anything in CC.

As it has been said before, shoot his transport, and then shoot him until he combusts.

If all else fails, wait till your opponent isn't looking, and try to eat his Ghazskull Thraka model

Have you seen that damn thing!?

Yeah, that would hurt like feth to get out.... It's so pointy too...

Ghazghkull is I4 though, so there's not too much chance of that happening...

Does he have a KFF Big Mek?

If so, he'll probably cross the board safe if he's smart.

May want to tarpit with kroot or something if you can't snipe his BW.

Keep doing it, he'll roll a 5+ eventually.

Easiest way=PBS his squad's leadership down to 2, inflict enough casualties to cause a morale test which they fail, and then assault him with guardsmen.

Isn't Ghazzy fearless? And if he isn't, just stick him in a mob of 11+ boyz.

I have a friend that plays SM and I play Ghazzy a lot and he has an anti-Ghazzy list where he takes LC Termies in a Land raider.

What he does is either try to Assault Ghazzy Turn 1 (so he can't Waaagh), or sacrifice another until to waste the Waagh, and then Assault Ghazzy afterwords.

*cough cough* I believe a Brotherhood Champion would kill him, Heroic Sacrifice.....argh, I feel dirty for even bringing it up.

As you should.

Ghaz is a relatively tough badass, by ork SC standards, but compared to some of the IC travesties out there he's a pussycat. I'm amazed that people are that worried about him

I hate that rule with a passion. I really do. It's probably my least favourite rule in the whole GK codex.

Marbo? No seriously big guns.

Isnt that the one where he can remove whole models or something along those lines? If so, yea, I HATE the new fad of having rules in just about every new codex that has a "take that model and make it dead....like dead dead NAOW!"

IIRC basically, it let's you sacrifice a model, and then kill one enemy model in base contact. Basically, it lets Brotherhood CHampions one shot C'Tan and other things that SHOULD be tough to kill.

My brotherhood champion is touching the Golden Throne, so foosh, there goes the Emperor..

Yup, pretty ridiculous and annoying.

Thats my point, any rule that lets that happen just get under my skin. There shouldnt be an easy button for beating something that is hard to kill. You know they put those in there for people that CANT figure it out on their own

As an ork player, I'm less worried about Ghaz being killed than I am about him being avoided.

Total his transport and then keep your distance. Repeat if he tries to get in another transport. Send a few shots his way if you can, and you'll wear him down. He'll spend the game waddling around trying to tempt people to come close.

"Hey, you, I've got somefink ta show ya. Come here a minute...KRUMP!"

GD of Khorne could rape Ghazzy hard, not sure what you're talking about.

when a model with heroic sacrifice dies in CC (not removed from play but reduced to 0 wounds or ID) they may make 1 final roll to hit against something in btb contact. If they hit they and the model in question are removed from play.

Basically you hope he misses, cant pass his psykic test. you can just not attack him, rape the squad he is with and try and force a fallback. then if you catch them you can possibly kill him with no retreat wounds. Of course gazzy cant pursue cuz he is in mega armor.

An archon with a clone field makes short work of heroic sacrifices as well.

cant he activate his waagh whenever he likes?

It's still overpowered. Nothing should let you one shot kill C'tan, Greater Demons, etc, unless you're in Apoc where vortex and D weapons are flying everywhere.

Or you get boxcars on a SAG.

SAG and Gift of Chaos are allowable just on how unlikely they are to happen. Heroic sacrifice where one hit + a psychic test can let you remove one model is just too much. It's far too reliable to be fair.

What about one or two Callidus Assassins? To be truthful, I don't know much about them. From the little I do know, it seems like a good choice. But I could be wrong.
