Throw bodies at it. (seriously tarpit them to irrelevancy)

2 squads of 20 boys and you never have to worry bout them again. Nobs with PKs will kill them eventually or the amassed amount of hilarious attacks from the boys will pummel them to gelatinous blobs (eventually)

Aside from that, send in the Stompa!

Pretty sure a 20 man choppa squad kills them in a single round of combat.

If we fail to anticipate the unforeseen or expect the unexpected in a universe of infinite possibilities, we may find ourselves at the mercy of anyone or anything that cannot be programmed, categorized or easily referenced.

I charged 4 TWC + lord into unit of 20 boys. TWC won pretty easily. Boys were only wounding on 6s, while TWC were hitting on 3s and wounding on 2s with re-rolls for the most part.

Lucky stick warbosses spook my TWC a good amount.

Statistically, one choppaboy deals 0.22 wounds on the charge and 0.08 if gets charged, so expect to kill 1-2 of them if you charge and like 0.5-1 if getting charged. They're pretty tough but first you wittle them down with shooting and than finish them off in mellee eventually. That's the theory. Just know they ain't unkillable.

Shoot them. Preferably with Lootas. Shoota BOyz if you are desperate. Tankbustas if you are really desperate.

Put a Warboss w/Klaw, and Painboy in a blob of 20-30 Boyz. My wife does this, and I consistently over-extend, and try to go for it. :-p In every case the Warboss will eventually kill off the TWC.

Only thing to be mindful of is challenges. Many SW players will want, or outright have to challenge you, meaning you might need to throw something like a Nob at a Wolf Lord first, so the Boss will have time to do a little more work.
