So my local meta has been dominated by Ork players using tons of boys and weird boys just jumping and over running everyone. So I put together the following list to deal with it. Needless to say I steamrolled our undefeated ork player. Now everyone is saying my list is a "that guy" list. I deployed tightly in the corner and placed spore mines out from my units 4 inches and surrounded my army. Game was over turn 3. Thoughts?

No offense but playing ''Power'' is meant for kids... and obviously not balanced...

Moreover, your list is far from optimal, at least with point s system...

Exocrine is by far our best piece, play at least 2-3 of them...

Also, you should play 1 malanthrope to babysit the artillery and buff them with a -1 BS for anything that shoots them...

For the rest, its quite hard to say, not so familiar with this system..

However, im glad to hear an ork was doing fairly well for once

Happy gaming !

I don't think this qualifies for "TG" status Maybe if it was specific for just beating one list...thats a point, but bubblewrapping is a standard way to counter DS tricks in general.

Full disclosure: I play Nids, and really like Orks...
