Honestly, I dont think 5th edition guard really changes up the orks philosophy terribly, it just makes some of the old gimmick lists ineffective. A well balanced list ought to have a decent time against the new codex.

Outflanking seems key, and more than ever Snikrot seems worth taking, but with the modifiers that guard can put on reserves it seems if you are unlucky at rolling reserves he may not be such a good idea.

A mek with kff supporting kanz is always a good idea. They can shoot down armor, if properly equipped, and are remarkably survivable. Kanz also can CC with enemy tanks (mine tend to eat landraiders).

KFF Bubble, then you shouldn't have anything to worry about against the Gourd. A couple of your mobs might die on the way, but when you get to them, those Gourdsmans and tanks will die faster than you can say WAAAGH!!!

Shiny tanks a good army does not make.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/704653.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/704653.page GMT Re:Orks Vs. the New Guard...

Any Mechanized Ork list should do fine. Three or more battlewagons will also do fine.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/704719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/704719.page GMT Orks Vs. the New Guard...

IG has one pie plate that ignores cover. I highly doubt that you will see it very often.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/705358.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/705358.page GMT Re:Orks Vs. the New Guard... Any Ideas?

Vendettas can take two str4 ap5 pies that ignore cover
Leman Russ Eradicator has a str6 ap4 pie that ignores cover
Collosus has a str6 ap3 pie that ignores cover

also
Hellounds can move 12" and place a str6 ap4 template 12" away that ignores cover
Banewolf can move 12" and fire a str1 ap3 poison template + str5 ap4 heavy flamer
Deathstrike has a D3 + 3" blast that ignores cover.

also there is the "Fire on my target" order that makes the target unit re-roll successful cover saves]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/705500.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/705500.page GMT Re:Orks Vs. the New Guard... Any Ideas?
The Vendetta missiles are less than exciting, pretty much a one shot pony (and a waste of points IMHO, you would be better with a valk and rocket pods, which will do more damage against a horde if it gets two rounds of shooting).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/706025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/706025.page GMT Orks Vs. the New Guard...

Horde lists won't make much progress against good IG lists/players.

Nob Bikes probably won't either if the IG player brings a PBS and some smart play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/706059.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239214/706059.page GMT Re:Orks Vs. the New Guard...

IG has put an end to the classic horde list as they have the means to easily deal with the green tide... I dunno how the Nob bikers will do as the surprise factor is now gone and IG now has the shots to dump at the Bikers, After all I doubt they would live through a "Bring It Down" and a "First Rank Fire! Second Rank Fire!" or their new squadrons of Tanks...

IMHO, A combination of Horde and Mek is the way to go... having a lot of tanks/walkers and dense troops will over-saturate them with targets...

But watch out for the assault as they now can get Furious charge and Counterattack... this leads to a lot of dead Orks that wished they had a high initiative. I would review what units can do what with my opponent so you do not lose 11 boyz to a unit of conscripts because they had furious charge and counter attack...

Large units of Boyz is also a nice blessing as this makes them hard to break with shooting... IG got really good at horde shooting since the last Codex...
