He's I6 and has 5 attacks with Ap2
so MA nobs and WB are off the table

He has hit and run so tarpitting him with boyz is off the table.

He has a 2+ and most likely FnP so I can't just spray small arms fire at him

He has a 4++ and can deep strike behind my KMKs and we have no other source of ap2 shooting....

I'm really at a loss here, I can't think of a single viable tactic beside getting very lucky]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247465.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247510.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247510.page GMT Orks vs Dante CC would be best done by Deff Dreads. That unit is going to have terrible shooting and takes up a large amount of points so there wouldn't be all that much that can stop a bunch of dreads from getting stuck in. You can also just screen it with a bunch of grots or MSU boyz to waste its time if its a full on dante deathstar. Fighting it head on is often a waste of time when instead you can just win board control. Tank shock with a bunch of trukks with rams can potentially net some kills if you trap parts of the unit and cut them off from each other breaking unit cohesion (and thus making it easy to squash them in a trukk corral).

MANz can work if you wrap Dante's unit up with boyz to force base contact with as many of the models in the unit as possible then charge in the MANz at an edge of the unit. Only a few models can swing at the MANz (too far away to swing at that unit and can't consolidate because they are in base contact with an enemy model) while the MANz can chain PK swings through the entire unit. Feeding boyz will cause you to lose combat but with mob rule it shouldn't be hard to stay locked in if your swarming with a bunch of units (if the MANz hammer doesn't crush them into bits with mass S9 PK attacks). Its not a pretty method but its possible to do with lots of expendable units. Also if hes going in with a single dante deathstar unit then it shouldn't be that hard to surround it and gang up on it. Hit and Run doesn't work all that well if you surround the unit making it difficult for the entire unit to escape combat. Read very carefully how Hit and Run, multiple combats, and challenges work to use the rules to your advantage to shut down his options and limit the his ability to hurt your power units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8247602.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8248498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8248498.page GMT Orks vs Dante Kmk with a big mek in mega armor for slow and purposeful is good.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8248556.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8248556.page GMT Orks vs Dante

No I would say this is bad]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249373.page GMT Re:Orks vs Dante BRB). That's assuming you can wound him. Instant Death attacks deny FNP, so that might help. You could also maybe reduce his number of attacks with Runtherds Grabba sticks? There are lots of AP2 options: PK's, Killsaws, Buzzsaws, SAG, Zzap guns, KMK's, Kustom Megga Slugga, Kan Klaw, Klaw of Gork, Teleporta Blasta, Wierdboy Killbolt or Powervomit, etc. You could also string a unit of Grots through your DZ to make it harder for him to Deepstrike. Hope this helps!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249462.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249462.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249724.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249724.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249833.page GMT Orks vs Dante

Good to know, haven't faced him myself. Forcing an Ld check is out then.

Oh for the days when you have Old Zogwart turn an IC into a squig! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249894.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8249894.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252562.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252562.page GMT Orks vs Dante
You could take Warbikers to be honest. Lots of bullets = lots of saves. HoW helps to inflict a few more wounds and you can have the Nob upgrade but have no weapons on him to let him take the challenge while your Warboss goes to town on him. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252672.page GMT Orks vs Dante EW. Just shoot him a bunch. Or ignore him and let him axe up a few boys while you murder the rest of the army. He needs to catch some very high value targets if he wants to earn back the 400 or more points for himself and his meatshields. Don't throw that valuable stuff at him and even if you don't kill him, you'll have beaten him.

It's not like he has more wounds, t8, fnp, str D shooting and stomps for only a couple rhinos more of points. That would be a LOT harder to handle. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252691.page GMT Orks vs Dante http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8252726.page GMT Orks vs Dante
Better of trying to get something like a deff dread in combat with him to hold him up or just go for shotting him to death

He "only" has a 4++ and his FNP (if there's also a Sanguinary Priest) is denied by the S8.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8253403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8253403.page GMT Orks vs Dante

Hit and run can be denied, especially if he's deep in your backfield amidst all your stuff.
Let him assault something that will fight with him a bit. He'll wait til the end of your turn to try hit and run. Move some units around the combat without charging in. If anyone in Dante's unit can't get 1" away from the combat while also staying 1" away from the unengaged models, hit and run auto fails.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8253619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669902/8253619.page GMT
