Hi i have an apocolypse game coming up. My big concern is how in the world am i suposed to kill a warhound titan. I play orks so if anyone has any ideas please tell me.

With Orks? I would say your best choices are S9 Power Klaws, those silly Deffcopters and Killa-Kans.

Orks just don't have the AV14 shooting to knock it out at range. Sure Lootas can rip off the Voids but after that, you're just scratching paint.

Get up close and engage it in HtH combat. S9/S10 is the key since it will let you penetrate the front armor. I particularly like Kill-Kans since you can field 18+ if you use the cheapest loadouts and their WS2 means little when the Warhound has the same thing.

What is the AV of a warhound? I've never cared for forgeworld or apoc, so I am unsure what warhounds have. My instinct is to take some Ork super heavys like stompas and gargants.

What's that Strategic Asset that does d3 Strength D hits before the first turn starts?

That really helps against superheavies.

Get a Stompa, charge it, hit it 5 times with it's Titan CCW and that should do the trick

with orks..... ummmmm...... a bunch of nobz with power claws. or an ork titan. enough deff dreds can do the trick. void shields are only armor 12 and the titan is armor 12 too. think of it as a dreadnough with lots of wounds.

Did AF just advocate using lascannons?

Knock me over with a feather!

sorry I didnt see he was an ork player at first.
yes lascannons rule apocalypse. unlike in a normal game you can bring a ton of them, and their long range means you can usually use all or almost all of your lascannons on one target if you have to. meltaguns are too short range to be useful on a 4 6 or 8 foot table. AF

Oh yeah, he is playing Orks. I didn't notice that either.

Deffrollas should work, right?

This would be the Vortex Grenade. I highly recommend it.

Goff Clawstompa (from Apocalypse Reload) wins my recommendation. 8 Destroyer attacks =

Vortex Grenade is good, this one I'm think about is called Precision Strike or something. It gives you free hits against a superheavy at the start of the game.

idk I dont play orks or fight against them very often. a warhound titan is basically just an overstuffed dreadnought. whatever the ork player would use to kill a dread, use that - but more of them.

Warhounds are FAV14 and have 2 Voids

with orks you really want, as others have said, Str9 and 10 in CC. it is only WS2 and 1 attacks(at Str10)


the real problem will be catching it. you can't lock it in CC like other walkers and it moves 12" and has the option to not fire 1 gun for a fleet move(or both guns for 2d6 fleet)


what weapons will it have? Plasma Blast Gun will be the worst for you.

it could titan stomp the deff dreads.....
