Dr Duck Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Last night I got handed a reasonable beating at the hands of some imperial guard. One of the biggest issues i faced was a quad of 7 Ogryns with a bonehead. The dam things managed to absorb everything my Obliterator, 10 CSM's, my rhino and (in the first 2 turns of the game) the full force of my preadator could throw at them. With high WS, 3 wounds and toughness 5 i'm struggling to find a weapon that is the 'paper' to their 'rock' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Powerfists, Plasma Guns, Daemon Prince(s), even Auto Cannons work reasonably well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplain belisarius Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 2 things...meltaguns and vindicators (plus massed rapidfiring bolters) Good luck next time mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Flamers/Heavy Flamers followed up by massed small arms fire seems like it would work fairly well. In the end, I think the 5+ save just leaves them too exposed to shooting or even basic attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possessed Marine Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Pie Plates... use the defiler battle cannon or vindicators. Melta's, Plasma, Autocannon, lascannons, heck, even massed heavy bolters & other small arms forcing saves will do the trick. Failing that, and they get into assault range, throw berzerkers & Khârn at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Flamers/Heavy Flamers followed up by massed small arms fire seems like it would work fairly well. In the end, I think the 5+ save just leaves them too exposed to shooting or even basic attacks. Not to mention that, since they have at best Ld 7 without an attached IC and abysmal initiative, winning combat by even one wound is enough to stand a very good chance of breaking them, and you're quite likely to pull off a sweeping advance.
