You get to move 12" per turn and shoot, or turbo-boost 24". The boyz can spread across the board and force you into contact. You'll kill a couple per turn, but you'll be assaulted regardless. Even if you back up to your rear table edge, when the boyz are 12-18" away they can assault you. If you turboboost over them to try getting away, you can only go 24"....which puts you 12" on the other side of them and still in assault range.

3 Destroyers aren't killing 30 Boyz.


The boyz can move 12" a turn tops (until they assault of course), but on average they will move about 9.5". Compared to 12" every time and 24" when needed for the destroyers. I can see what you are suggesting and I am well aware that 30 orks can take up a lot of room (one of my regular opponents plays Horde orks) but why do you assume I would move into a back corner? If the destroyers move laterally they are much harder to catch instead of just backing away into a corner; plus by the time the orkz are able to reach the Destroyers they wont have their full thirty, probably closer to 10-15 (3 destroyers kill 5 boyz a turn on average), it's not too hard to avoid just 10 models. Also keeping in mind the most important factor which is destroyers can turbo boost at any point, not just when they find themselves trapped in a corner. Sure, it will take a while but the destroyers will wear them down eventually.

The Colossus is AP 3 and the Broadsides have a 2+ save, not sure thats going to work.

I think that 8 Imperial guard storm troopers with 2 meltaguns and a plasma pistol using the airborne assault special mission have a decent shot at killing both of those.

Comes to 163 points.

When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

The Callidus assassin doesn't have a demo charge, needs an inquisitor so it can be fielded and costs just under twice as many points. Marbo is an excellent bargain ^^

Oh and an armored sentinel with a plasma cannon should kill the GK termie or the Callidus.

75 points.
