ORK SKWISH BUGS

[Adam chandler]

we have a new player joining us and he plays nids im doing a 1750 battle and ive never seen a nid army before. any thoughts are battle stories all are welcome i watched some youtube vids and ive seen two wagon set up filled with shootas and lootas in the back but wanting for knowledge on the matter and i know i have some of the best orky's out there on this forum(i have closed all other since you guys are so awsome).

Basic Orky tactic to use against Nids and/or anything else that comes your way:

[SonsOfStalingrad]

Against nids, a mob of tankbustas in a looted wagon work wonders. Nids have no vehicles, so the tankbustas are free to target whatever they feel like.

[Adam chandler]

can the tankbustas still use there squibbombs, i really thought about using them against his big guys the carnafex or hive tyrant. is a looted wagon better then a trukk and would burna boys have any effect on them i have 15.

Codex: Orks, page 42. Bomb Squigs can only be used against vehicles.

Massed flamer templates vs a horde army? um yes...do that.

Hahaha!! I like that!!! XD

And then, when you've got a big gribbly instead of a swarm, POWER WEAPONS will help out quite a bit. So don't flame it.

whats a big gribbly?

[Architech]

monstrous creature...or any other large single thing

[Adam chandler]

i know he's running a hive tyrant, and a bunch of gargolyes. so im going to use a lot of flamers and alot of lootas and kans with kustom mega blasters or a squad of nob bikers with power klaws and a painboy.

[Adam chandler]

would a deff rolla be effective you think?

[Ugh]

Also remember the Zookas on some Kans ... they hurt swarms ... pump enough Zooka templates his way and his bugs will go yumyum somewhere else.

As a Nid player, the things that worry me most about orks are; units of 30 boyz, seriously, Orks are way better at the hoard game than Nids. Also, the amount of large blast ordinance at their disposal. Nothing scares Nids like large S8 blast templates that Instant death Warriors and remove handfuls of gaunts in one go.

I wouldnt go with kans vs tyranids.

Against the little bugs they dont have enough attacks to make a big enough dent.
Against the big bugs they are too slow and get splatted before they can fight.

Go for Nobz with power claws instead of kans for high strength combat support.

A kan is WS2. We dont buy them for thyeir combat prowess. Grotzookas however...

[sneggy]

You dont I agree.

But thats where they will end up vs 'nids since they are not fast enough to avoid it.

Yeah this is quite the nuts against nids, any other army and the bustas are near useless. Will be even better in 6th when MC's are easier to hit.

Your fight against the nids is probably going to come down to 1 thing the winner is going to be the guy that launches the most charges. You will need PK's to deal with the mc's. Burnas would be great as well to thin the lil ones out as will be lobbas zookas and boom guns.

Tell that to the 180 homagaunts making a turn 2 charge. Makes my butt hurt.
