Strongest ork unit to Destroy Tau Battlesuits and Devilfish thanks in advance!

So yea, all you gotta do is get into krumping range! Get to your choppa lad!

Get into krumping range.

Nobs with Powerklaws

WAAAAAGH!

i guess anything that gets you closer, quickly

deffkopta's and bikes?

I think the agreement is to squish them.

Yeah, charge them, shoot them, and bash em on de ead!

Orkz are amazing, just charge a unit at him and he will die a good one. Powerklaws will open the devilfish up if you are too lazy to shoot at it with lootas or rokkits

Gods, dakka has some pro ork advice on it, doesn't it?

Trukks + Meganobz = Flat out first round for 24 inches, next round move up 6 inches, pile out in front of your trukk since it's open topped 6 (assuming your enemy didn't kill it last round; don't forget your ramshackle rules they allow you to take a S3 hit rather than 4 if it explodes, and it also can kareen towards enemies... and sometimes away... lol) When the meganobz are in range do a disorganized charge you don't need the extra attacks and splitting your offensive will have a better chance at keeping you engaged with the enemy rather than them fleeing immediately when you slaughter a huge portion of them.

Deff Koptas + 1 or 2 Buzzsaws + rokkits/big shootas = both are fine gun choices but make sure you at least take 1 buzzsaw on your deffkoptas. It will slice through any model in the tau army and being so tough with multi wounds ect you have very little to worry about. first round scout move them next round move 12 then turbo boost behind the enemy or LOS blocking terrain if possible. This unit is best built to destroy vehicles if it has rokkits or low armor save models like kroot and to some extent fire warriors if you take big shootas instead.

Lootas = Longer ranger more power in the guns, lootaz are pretty safe from gunfire as long as you make sure you push them back beyond 30 inch range in deployment cause no tau player in their right mind will approach an ork army. You will have to worry about other weaponry though so make sure to try and use terrian to the best of your advantage.

Dakka jets= Tau have so little AA ability its actually funny, I am sure when their codex comes out it will be very much the reverse but for now a Dakkajet is a pretty mean thorn in the Tau's side since they have so little that can shoot so consistently enough to nail a dakka jet. If you are hit don't forget to dive for cover saves and make sure to dump a Waaaagh round of gunfire into firewarriors because 18 twin linked + pinning shots that cut firewarrior armor and auto kill them is too nice to pass up.

Agreed on disorganized charge with MANz. They can not only take it, but STILL dish it out, they have a very good chance of winning both combats as well, so just do it. Im so in love with MANz now its a little worrying

defkoptas with rokkit launchas will distract them while you get da powerklaw in krunchin range

Don't forget to bring the Big Mek with Kustom Forcefield; it saved my vehicles enough times such that its worth the measly investment to make a Tau player swear as his Str 10 shots do diddly.
