My list is basically a standard 1500 "3 deffkopta, 3 wagon (1 burna squad/2 boyz), Big Mek" list. His is a competitive Sisters build with 3 Exorcists.

My strategy is to basically hope that I get turn one, blow at least 2 Exorcists with my Koptas, and then my Wagons should have no trouble with my Mek's KFF wheeling in and decimating them.

Any tips? I'm super scared of those Exorcists, especially with AP1 - considering all he'd need on a penetrating hit on my Wagons is a 3 to wreck it.

Exorcists are only scary when your opponent is rolling well for the number of shots. 6 S8 AP1 shots will wreck a tank. Other than that, just treat them like you would any other long range anti-tank tank.

Harass them with Koptas and when you get close enough, Deff Rolla. They're not really all that terrifying.

I suppose if I bring 3 Koptas, he will have to take care of those with something, allowing me to get in close and deff rolla/PK them, then whittle him down.

So how do Deff Rollas work again? I'm seeing all this debate over the FAQ and such.

I assume I just run into them, and if they're not skimmers, it auto-tank shocks? Then I resolve the tank shock hit first, then the 2D6 S10 hits of the Rolla? Can people weapon destroy the Rolla?

Thanks for the response! You're one of the most insightful Orks on Dakka, so I appreciate it.

Keep the front of your battlewagons facing them. STR 8 cannot pen AV 14, only glance it.

Why would you be worried about Exorcists vs. AV14? It's still not the greatest odds. I'd be much more concerned about the amount of Meltas and MultiMeltas he'd be bringing in a competitive sisters list.

You're going to have to screen your stuff to protect him from getting within 2D6 Range.

I would agree that a sucide sisters squad moving forward form the bulk of his army to melta down a BW is a risk. Thats what deffkoptas are for. Stop the rhino in its tracks.
