Ok, I was playing a game against my friends orks.
His list had two 5 man squads of lootas, one in a battle wagon, a trukk, 5 nobz with a painboy, a mek with a KFF
and ten hard boys. His nobs had heavy armour and choppas. he also had 2 deffkoptas. And a looted wagon

My list was 4 blaster born, 8 wyches with a shardnet and impaler and a venom blade, 2 haemonculi with venom blades and LG.
I also had Duke Slisus, 20 kabals with 2 splinter cannons, and I had 2 raiders.

I was COMPLETELY destroyed, the nobz got my kabals, and my wyches were stuck in internal combat with the hard boyz, because my friend made ALL
his blasted saves.

How do I deal with this?

Any help would be veeery nice

Why don't you have any Ravagers?

Also, try spliting up your army. DE are fast enough that you can split up and come back together in 2 turns. Orks are a very bullet like army, you gotta point em and just go. If you seperate his army it'll be alot easier to deal with, or just somehow seperating that KFF from the other trucks. I think your fist target is gonna be those lootas. While their BS sucks, one lucky roll and one of your carb board boxes is going down.

Hope some of that made sense/helped

I'm sure there are ways to do it, but in my experience playing orks, the DE match up very poorly against them and have a hard time. I;m not saying you can't do it, I'm just saying its a difficult uphill battle. Your army should be faster, so use that to your advantage. Good luck!!

Actually usually I have no problem with his orkies, But THIS time, he had stuck heavy armour everywhere, and tarpitted my wyches for the ENTIRE game. A his KFF was only being used to protect the trukk. The looted wagon was untouchable, and his damned battle wagon was waaaay to far away.

Try, what's her name, the Special Character that goes with the Wytches, Lady Slice-a-lot. The one that gets a number of attacks equal to her base, plus the difference between her and her opponent's weapon skill.

Against the 'ard Boyz, try shooting, especially before assault. If you can pin them somehow, they'll be next to useless.

For this, I speak from experience. Almost all the Orks in my list have at the least a 4+ armour save, and I was bum-rushed by a unit of Wytches with that special character. Yes, I tarpitted them for a few turns, but they ended up killing me off, and in that time, they were able to Darklance all my transports and start picking off my squads. Don't ever try to go H2H against a proper Nob Squad- you'll be much happier just Dark Lancing them to death. For Nobz, Str 8 is your bestest of friends.

Pop the trukks first, those can be fairly easy to take out, then everything in them will be walking. Walking Orks in small numbers is great, its like fish in a barrel kindda setup. Also, always sticking a PW in units (I dunno if you can with DE as I know very little about them) those will help plenty against tougher Orks, 1 PW a squad would of helped you tremendously.

DE can take power weapons, but most people do not, due to they would wound most things on a 5+. However, agonizers could be a nice awnser. the dark eldar charater could be a nice option...

Lots to consider, THANK YO U
