My bro always has Arjac in a unit and he always issues challenges in close combat so what sort of unit should I make to combat him

30 Ork Boyz > Arjac Rockfist.

I know it's not Orky but you don't have to accept the challenge

It's not only Arjac he puts him with a big ass unit of grey hunters I think it is and he usually has 2 hq choices in the unit

Arjac is a beast, and it gets worse when teamed up with other highly killy SW Hqs because no matter who you challenge out, the other guy is going to wreck face. But then again, thats pretty much what space wolves do. But yeah, drown him in attacks, its all you can do. Take a nob in 30 boys and challenge out the HQ boss. Now you have 29 boys worth of attacks that he has to put either onto Arjac or the GH. If he chooses the Grey Hunters, you can be happy to know you will probably kill most of them in one round. If he chooses Arjac, you only have to stick 12 wounds onto him and that should do it. Pretty easy to do with an entire mob of boys.

Now granted, if they pop the Wolf Standard the GH unit is most likely carrying, its entirely possible to see Arjac bounce all 90 attacks off his termi armor and live to tell about it.

But that is what he does. Its rude, but epic at the same time. All you can do is try again next round.

What he said^ arjac is a beast in close combat but if you can weigh him down in bodies then he will fail saves. I had arjac and 4 termies take on a Tervigon and ate up 3 turns of spawn-o-gaunts and managed to finally die on turn 6.

Arjac's awesome, but he only has 2 wounds. With a tiny bit of luck, he can go down pretty easily. Failing that, outside of a challenge he will go down to massed wounds.

What he said.
Don't Try to beat him in Close Combat

Well, Arjac charges 30 shootas and takes a W to overwatch. And in combat terminators aren't particularly good against Orks due to low attack numbers, low initiative and inability to sweep.

Also this is sort of off topic but for challenges is it true you can't accept a challenge if ur not within 2" of a friendly model in base contact with the opponent?

Should really have gone in YMDC, and has been answered there before, but what the hell. Check page 64 of the rulebook. Very last line of "Accepting a Challenge".

Sorry about that. And thanks
