Dread Wolf Master Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 My brother is an Ork player that loves using the BR deffkoptas. I like to field alot of tanks, but the deffkoptas seem to destroy them before they can be any use? Any advice on how to deal with these units? Should i keep the tanks in reserve until i shoot them down? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162085-dealing-with-deffkoptas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash113 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Well Deffkopta's are nice but they are fairly expensive, 45points per with Rokkit Launcha's and though they're 2 wounds they are a LOT easier to bring down than Nob Bikers and so forth, Missile Launchers with Krak Rockets are the best for taking them out I think. Or lascannons if you really want too. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162085-dealing-with-deffkoptas/#findComment-1904360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Id reccommend if your a tread-head using a Predator Annihilators with heavy bolters. I find one of them will kill a two to three man squad of koptas a turn without needing much in the way of luck. Another option Ive found is whirlwinds, wich are frankly quite useful against the rest of the army. Lastly, a well placed unit of attack bikes will usually do the trick, and are a bit cheaper than the koptas. If hes fielding the black reach ones he probly has three of them eh? So hit him with an assault cannon from a vendread and a dakka predator. Or a volley from a landraider crusader if your nervous about using vehicles against him.

OnlyInDeath Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 One thing that i've found is effective, and in my book a must when going at greenskins, is a unit of sniper scouts. Nothing fancy, just 4 sniper rifles and a heavy bolter, can usually down 1-2 of them a turn, and with the coptas only sporting a whopping 7 leadership, it's rather easy to get them pinned down and left with their butts in the wind. Not to mention, with rending SR's and AP 4 on the HB, it's nice and easy to take these buggers down, and your 100 point unit can easily earn it's points back against 45 pt coptas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/162085-dealing-with-deffkoptas/#findComment-1904845 Share on other sites More sharing options...
