Hi. Im looking for ork tactics.
What I fight against-
Eldar
Dark Eldar
CSM
Tau
'Nilla Marines'
On the norm.
All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Rule of thumb for orks is to bring as many boyz as you can field. Shoota boyz walk, choppa boyz ride in trukks to crump 'eads quickly. Mix in stompy units like kans and dreads to flavor.

For eldar, get in as fast as possible and destroy them in combat. Same with Tau. They will destroy you with shooting very quickly but you can eat their faces off once you start swinging.

Marines and the like are a tougher nut to crack but will generally fold like dark eldar fliers once you hit them with enough close combat numbers. Bring rokkits against them, both for the tanks and the power armor, but saturation of fire is the surest way to get the job done with orks.

Punch it. Punch it again. Have Ghazzy punch it.

The faster you can tie up units in CC, the better.

those armies are shooty so bring tons of boyz and a kff for cover saves. 90 at least. OR bunch of boyz in trukks or wagons with kff.

Always get the charge.

Never let your opponent charge you.

The result difference between the two situations is quite considerable - In that Orks really suffer when they are charged.

Pretty universal, with possible exception to Tau.

For any solid advice we would need to know what kind of orks you play/plan on playing and what kind of eldar/dark/eldar/chaos/marines you are facing. All of those armies can come in different variants and have to handled differently.

(Yeah I don't play he reqeusted I put the thread up)

My Friends Orks- He likes to bring Dr. grotsnik, 30 boys with Eavy Armor and Cybork Bodys, The doc runs in that sqaud.
He also likes Bikes and brings 4-8 On the Norm.

My Eldar- I like to Bring The NightSpinner, Farseer and WW. I also bring a mish mash of units and havn't found the winning formula yet.

My Dark Eldar- I bring 20 Hellions with Barron. They Tear Him a New A$$ Hole! And 10 Raider Wyches with 2 shardnets. Two Ten Man warrior Sqauds with dark lances. And occasionly a Ravanger with Disentigrators.

Chaos Marines- Against orks He bring a good size of bezerkers and Kharn in a LR. A Defiler. And A Slanesh Chaos Prince who likes to abuse Grotsniks forced Power (Move towards closest unit)

Marines- Welll... He brings whatever he feels like. Plasma Army (Three Dev Sqauds with Plasma Cannons) Honor Guard army. He Dosn't stick to just one army.

Tau- They Usualy Get Crumped. It is an eqaul list game, played on dice and tactics. (Tau wins half orks win half is about the Win To Loss For these two)

Very Very VERY Rarely Imp. Gaurd (I Proxy like a mother F#$ker though) We have only fought once and was a close game.

how many points are you playing? cybork bodies and eavy armour is a no no... do one or the other unless your having fun but if you want to win save those kind of upgrades for nobz, definately use nobz, they will wrek in CC. your spending 150 points just on cybork bodies for the 30 orks, you could almost buy another 30 boyz... hes not using enough bikes BUT if he proxies them as nob bikers then 8 is really good. i recommend only cybork bodies on the boyz but drop the eavy armour, the feel no pain already gives you a 4+. Does he only have 30 boyz?

Cyborked 'ardboyz with grotznik is something you should bring to apoc, but nowhere else. You can get 4x 20 boyz with nobz and a warboss for those points. Also, warbikes should be used in full squads or not at all, unless fielding Wazzdakka.

Well I remember a lad joined DAKKA some time ago, bragging about his MSU biker army, and how awesome it was. Then Dash challenged him to stop bragging about his uberness.....and I havnt really seen him around. That or I forgot his name, either way the joke was he didnt do so well. Granted thats against Dash with Orks.....So I guess MSU could work with bikers..... just remember to use them as a fire platform instead of charging in and dying

MSU Bikes is an army using Wazzdakka, and if I remember correctly, was originally posted by stelek on his blog. The whole point is that those small units are scoring, but without Wazzdakka... don't do it.

We Play 1500, Ocasionly 1000, and sometimes 2v2 2000 points each. He has three biker models and five calvary bases, We Never ever play objectives or spearhead( I despise spear head, because frankly for my armys they are noooo good. The Ork Player dosn't like objective because his guys can't go out and assult so whenerver I wanna play objectives( Roll chance ) he wants to add in spear head...), so claiming obj. is a useless thing in his book.

IRRC He has..90-120 Boyz.Five Aobr Nobz( They look so much better than normal ones) a trukk, 3 deffcopters, Warboss, 3 Warbikers, and We All Have Nigh Unlimited supply of proxys.

As I said we have a LOT of proxys.
