What are you using Sergiypas? Might help advise-wise.

Its difficult to help when we dont even know what army you are using. Hordes can bubble wrap important things, GK can warp quake or use Coteaz, some armies can reserve what would normally be the targets for the pods.

Also, vs a list like that he only has 2 dropping squads. He can only target 2 things. MSU would work well vs a list like that. You could go back to pred spam from 5th as a good solution for SM armies (esp BA). Eldar can use the Icarus Lascannon to deal with pods with a DR exarch. Explode the pod and you can probably do some significant damage to the squad that was inside. or you can pick off the front 2 weapons if he is out of cover.

Yes, sorry, edited my post

Best counter to drop pods is to make sure you don't leave any vulnerable units. My Dark Angels, for instance, have extremely durable Ravenwing units and durable/not on the table Deathwing units making up the majority of the force, with Greenwing guns placed in inhospitable positions that give them a turn or two to react to any Drop Pods.

With Necrons, you could potentially take a Strike squad or two as Allies to get Warp Quake, alternately you could use Lychguard with Dispersion Shields to escort/defend other units; those are both expensive propositions, but they're the two that spring to mind that are especially good at dealing with Drop Pods.

Thanks, the idea of warp quake is fantastic!
