Run trukks and battle wagons w/deffrollas. Nothing says knight death like 2d6 strength 10 shots. Any other ways to kill knights add below

Trukks don't get Deffrollas.

Trukks with boarding planks and wrecking balls for gigglrs (pk nob is must)

Rear shots from a Dakkajet would help.

I would fire rokkits anywhere in its general direction.

Lootas could glance it to death.

Zogwort can't turn a Knight into a squig, can he? Probably not...

*EDIT*

Just checked, only ICs.... hmmmm

*checks IG codex* Damn, Pask is only a character, not IC. THAT would be amazing.

I meant to say battlewagons only.

Take a stompa. fight super heavies with a super heavy.

2 full units of lootas spaced far apart so at least one unit should get a side shot in.

They're really no worse than a land raider. at least with the knights we have ranged weapons that can cause pens.

Honestly stompas are just not effective enough for their points against knights.

I had a game where we wanted to test this, and since The stompa is so points heavy I was able to field two knights against it.

The stompa caused a grand total of 2 hull points on one of them before they reached it and carved it into pieces. :(

I'm waiting for someone to bring a knight to a game against my orks. I'll roll forward, watching his smile grow as he expects to destroy me in close cmbat... ...then I'll drop the boarding planks and smack him with 4 S9 attacks per trukk, which he can do nothing about. lootas will glance him to death, tankbustas will love him on their trophy rack. deffrollas are good but a superheavy walker can't death or glory, so only 1D6 hits per rolla. I'd bring a squadron of bigtrakks instead of a wagon, as they're cheaper, still take rollas and high armour is irrelevant against a D weapon. 3 trakks, ram cause 3D6 S10 hits, then all three drop planks and swing with 12 S9 attacks. methinks it'll stop working at that point.

Don't underestimate the humble deffkopta - 3 squads of fast, rokkit-wielding scout-moving irritants will draw his attention away from the trukks, and can make him really think about which side to put his save on. you get 3 TL rokkits behind him and it'll do the job.

I wouldn't mind giving kans a go, too. 3 models to squish, but enough S10 to do the trick.

If you want to go forgeworld, bring a couple of killburstas and blow chunks out of him, his army, and everything else.
