Keercrevlis Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Just as the title says. I am planning on playing a friend sometime soon and he plays an ORK Cult of Speed army. What would be a good set-up to combat that fast and hard hitting of an army with the new dex? THANKS in advance.

What would be a good set-up to combat that fast and hard hitting of an army with the new dex? THANKS in advance. I would recommend Whirlwinds, for the decent S and ability to ignore cover saves...that will rip through many ork lists. and a few RPs with Jaws of the World Wolf. when you know your playing Orks is the only time i can recommend this power, cause the low I of the Orks lets you kill them off in droves.

Grey Mage Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Lots of Grey Hunters, with Plasmarifles and powerfists. 2 Squads of Long Fangs, with lots and lots of missile launchers. A Squadron of 2 Landspeeders with Multimeltas for taking out battlewagons and crippling Buggie squadrons. Dreadnaught or two, to tarpit large squads if you need to scramble for an early counter-charge. Rune Priest with living Lightning should be able to rip open trucks without a problem. Wolf Priests will make the most of your assaults- Infantry should be a good choice here. TH+SS is the best idea for a WL however- Str 8 lets you instakill Nobz and Nobz Bikerz, wich are often seen in these lists. And of course- dont leave home without a whirlwind. It can even pop ork tanks. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183303-fighting-a-cult-of-speed-army/#findComment-2167888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keercrevlis Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 OH YA! GMage. I think he runs about 15-18 Nob Bikers! It will be a tourny list of 1850.

Grey Mage Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 2 Large Nob Bikerz Squads? Candy from a baby. Those units are 6-700pts a peice! So just hit them with Arjac and some friends with Lightning claws. Powerfists in each and every squad- and dont be afraid to lose a couple in order to take them out. Lastly- Missile Launchers instakill Nobz- because its T 4(5) so NO feel no pain save, just a 4+ cover save or a dead Ork. Make them count though! these boyz are fast.

Valerian Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 OH YA! GMage. I think he runs about 15-18 Nob Bikers! It will be a tourny list of 1850. You also might want to try a unit or two of TWC and a Lone Wolf or two. They'll crash into those Nob Bikers like a ton of bricks.

RedMoon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 a redeemer is alway a good touch. orks have a real problem dealing with AR 14. Dont be afraid to run right up the gut and let them flame cannons go to work. throw some wolf guard in there with arjak and let em go.

Grey Mage Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I tend to forget about Redeemers... as Im not normally a fan- but this is one time theyre a really good idea.

Just watch out for Trukks and Battlewagons with Boarding Planks and especially Wrecking Balls; Ork codex is in the basement, but if I remember correctly those will mess up your Land Raider.

RedMoon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 a death roller dosnt work on vehicles only when tank shocking an infantry unit. its in the GW FAQ. A boarding plank lets you use a model to attack which would probly be a nob with a claw which is str 8 and can only glance. the Land Raider is a real problem for the orks. i always run one in any list against orks they just work so well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183303-fighting-a-cult-of-speed-army/#findComment-2167971 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedMoon Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 duh im thinking about were it says it can hit multiple units..thats in the FAQ. however i fall in the camp that you can not use a death roller in a ram as it says it only works for tank shocking...but thats a whole nother argument LMAO. anyway in my experience they work great against orks.

Fair enough.... and Ive seen tournament FAQs that went both ways on it... deffinitely a "talk to them about this" question.
