Hi,I am an ork player and I need a fast way of killing marines (any sort, blood angles ultramarines etc) without using ork boys. any help, keep in mind that i need them killed fast.

deathcopterz with twin linked rokkit launchers. I'm a marine player and i hate them (I also hate units of 30 boys wiv nob there a pain but that doesn't help much "without boyz")

lots of kans, koptas and buggies with rokkits works for me. but i have boyz also

why not the boyz?

Can you post what youve got so far in your army? That would a bit more. And rokkits work well at killing SM, pk nobs as well. Infact if its just space marines your killing off, a mob of boyz +nob/PK is one of the better ways to do it

Burna boyz make them beaky tin kan 'umies do tha burny dance (If you haven't read about the burny dance in your codex, read about burna boyz NOW).

Eitha stick 'em inna wagin and go burnin' stuff (15 burnas, open topped vehicle, 1 flame template. If that template hits 5 marines, thats 45 hits. 45 hits wounding on 3+ will equal roughly 30 wounds. Roll 30 armor saves Mr Marine ), dey burn stuff good an' proper, an' they iz good against the horde of boyz too! Or, yoose can chop 'em up wiv ya burna's, they's good at choppin' dem marines good an' propa (orks with power weapons. What, does that need an explanation?)

I am dealing with 3, 5 man devastator squads all with plasma cannons.

Two big meks as HQ and two Deffdreads as troop (because of the big meks). Now you got your HQ and Troops, look at some Space Maines killers like warbuggies with rokkits and battlewagons with kill kill kannons.

Charge them with deffkoptaz.

Scout move on the first turn, then charge them.


HOLY ! HW TEAMS CAN'T SHOOT IN CC!

Looted wagons, multiple ones, and under a KFF.

Looted wagons?! Who gave this guy a codex


No Im joking. The KFF is a smart idea, and really a no brainer because its a great piece of wargear. Also Ive never seen someone spam plasma cannons, thats honestly a first.



Ok BEST GENERAL ADVICE since the guy is spamming plasma cannons. Make sure EVERY mini on foot, is at the MAX 2 inch coherency, yes I mean make a 2 inch maker, check everyone with a tape measure whatever you have to do. If done right, youll lose a whole 1 mini per plasma template, unless it scatters then maybe 2.

Cracker's on the money. The alternate is to mobilise and grab Trukks. I'm curious as to why not boyz since that's about the easiest answer to give - swamp the marines under a pile of green

nobz in trukk???

they will do a quick work fo these heavy weapons

snickrot and komandoes wit burnas attached to ghaz or mad doc (if mad doc give 15 komandoes cybork bodies)

that just an alternative. personally i would probably agree that deff coptas and rokkit buggies for the tl rokkits would be pretty useful

bw's with 20 boyz is always a good idea. A plasma cannon can't get through the front and has a piss poor time on the sides, add a kff and they are up the creek without a paddle.

that many plasma cannon iis holding up ALOT of his ap ability. 3 dev squads could be taking 12 lc's. thats 12 lc not shooting at bw's charging into his lines.

get a big mek with custom force field. blast weapons dont ignore cover saves.

Take a battlewagon and put some mega-nobz in it. Then laugh as those pathetic plasma cannons bounce off your mighty front armor.

Snikrot and his Kommandos are also a great way to get rid of pesky devastators. Try a minimum unit of 5 with 2 burnaz led by snikrot.
