So I have a 4500 point battle Eldar vs Orks on sunday and I was looking for some general tactics against orks. I figure with that many points ill be facing alot of melee units from the orks side. I have roughly 6000 points in my entire collection but according to my opponent he has over 15,000 to choose from.

This is what I currently own.

HQ: Avatar, Asurman, Magun Ra, 3 Farseer, 9 Warlocks, 1 Spiritseer
Troops: 25 Dire Avengers, 10 Rangers, 12 Windriders, and about 120 guardians (Regular and storm assorted)
Elites: 10 Banshees, 20 Striking scorpions, 12 Harlequins, 30 wraithguard, 6 Fire dragons
Fast Attack: 10 Warp Spiders, 3 Vypers
Heavy Support: 2 Flacons, 1 Fire Prism, 2 War Walkers, 1 Wraithknight, 5 Dark Reapers

Extras: 2 Wave Serpent

Rules include to forgeworld and no titans.

Any guidance against Orks? This will be my first time playing with the 6th edition rules, and only my 2nd game ever against orks.

So it sounds like ill want a couple of dedicated lance weaponry models. Kind of hard to spam serpents when I only own 2. Is it only 2 FoC? I thought it was 3 past 4000? It is a regular game, just a very large regular game. Apocalypse would entail super heavy units, titans and apocalypse formations, none of which either of us have read into. and with no titans or forgeworld units allowed its going to be just a normal game of large numbers.
Should I take some D-Scythes as one of my wraithguard units? All the wraithguard I have are the old metal ones so non of them are wraithblades. Seems like those flamers would be able to put down some orks like crazy.
Unfortunately i dont have very many blast template units but I will deffinately look into the suncannon for the wraithknight, and maybe use the weapons platforms that hit in a straight line (do they still do that?).

Storm Guardians yes or no?

Also having the scatter laser in the guardian group doesnt make them all TL does it? I was pretty sure that was just for the model not the entire unit?
