<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Need Help With Nasty Ork unit"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Need Help With Nasty Ork unit IG army this mainly comes down to his HQ choice which i find near unstoppable most of the time.

he fields his warboss accompanied by a varying sized unit of nobz with big choppas and cyborg bodies (or somthin like that) and a pain boy
this makes them too much to cope with in CC and i cant seem to take them down quick enough at range because of the 2w each 5+ invulnerable save and then a 4+ ignore wounds save.

somebody please help me squish this mighty green menace.

Medusas, Leman Russes, or any other large blast that is either S8+ or AP1 or 2 (or both)

This negates their feel no pain. I suggest 2 medusas, one should probably get on target and blow them to hell.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705412.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705414.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705414.page GMT Re:Need Help With Nasty Ork unit FNP and a 5+ invun isn't that good...
I'd suggest Leman Russ battle cannon (fit heavy bolters onto it to deal with the normal boyz if the HQ unit out of LOS or dead)
This unit is incradibly hard, but only against weak units, throw them against powerfists or high strength fire and they will die in droves.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705419.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705422.page GMT Re:Need Help With Nasty Ork unit also just got some las cannons in a squad of 3 i just hope i can take them down quick enough, he closes the gap so fast]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705428.page GMT Re:Need Help With Nasty Ork unit AV, more large blast templates, and make sure you have some high strength weapons (lascannons)

My friend would feild a lot of basilisks, shove them in a corner, and screen them with hundreds of guardsmen blobs with lascannons and rockets. It was annoying.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705780.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705780.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit FNP? I see the Ork player Turbo Boosting to get the 3+ Cover and then hit the IG Lines/Tanks ASAP. After the gap is closed and he assaults something he's vulnerable, but I think the problem is getting there.

This would mean bunkering up and layering your troops to prevent assaults on valuable assets. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705817.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit
As everyone said, pie plate him. If he's turboboosting, bring a colossus or a hellhound.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705825.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1705825.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit

Pie plate him as he closes (you said he closes fast so range shouldn't be an issue), then tank-shock.
Also, if you can't put a few high strength shots into them, then try lots of medium strength stuff. The more saves they have to take, the more likely they are to fail them.

This is the weak part of your list, as far as orks go. This could be turned into a pair of hellhounds or a LOT of rough riders instead, either of which will do a lot more damage to boyz/nobs.

If modelling is the restraining factor here, then you'd probably be better off counts-asing the lascannons as mortars in order to spend the points on flamers and meltaguns elsewhere. A single shot from either of those can put a real cramp on a mob of boyz or a ork wagon. In any case, a heavy flamer on your sentinel is going to be the best for ork busting in general. Nobs don't like heavy flamers any more than the rest of them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1706280.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1706280.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1706286.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1706286.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit HQ unit giving me trouble ....did i mention my friend is insanely lucky with his save rolls

Don't do this. That's a lot of points spent on small blast template weapons. A 3x mortar HWS will kill boyz nearly as well as a bare executioner at 25% the points cost.

When we said pie plates, we meant 5" template.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1707302.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1707302.page GMT Re:Need Help With Nasty Ork unit

arn't Nova cannons those HUGE FRAKKING guns mounted on Impierial Battle cruisers?

do you mean medusas or Basilisks?





Str 8 pie plates are what you want. LRBTs will do the job just fine. longer range means more chances before he gets close to spank you on the rear with his PKs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1707334.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302675/1707334.page GMT Need Help With Nasty Ork unit HWS wich i overlooked at first tbh
