Polythemus Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hey im confused I have played orks a couple times and with their new rules I am curious when it is possible to cause orks in cc to fail morale and be run down.

Armfelt Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 When you have decimated them with shooting, then you can charge and finish them. Otherwise, it is very expensive to be directly more efficient in CC than orcs.I guess that honour guards are our most point-efficient unit in melee.

Toldavf Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes it is possible but you must reduce them bellow 10 models also clearing the characters out helps too as the 2nd result on the table keys off of them. Do both of these things and they only have a 1 in 6 chance of treating the test asassed.

Ming Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You'd have to read the ork codex. Things have changed about their ability to fail morale and be swept. Regardless, you don't want to try to put a single marine unit in CC vs an ork unit of similar or larger size. Remember the old adage....shoot the choppy ones....

Toldavf Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Actually these days its not so bad for small elite squads. So long as you can kill everything within 3 inches your fine, don't forget casualties come from the closest models.

Jacques Corbin Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 A Landspeeder Storm has a cerebus launcher that forces a Initiative test or blind whatever the large blast template lands over. Orks have awful initiative, so blind them, and charge in with everything, with little chance of reprisal.

Frater Cornelius Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Do not let them get the charge, so they will be attacking with S3. That is the key ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297674-beating-orks-in-close-combat/#findComment-4009704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axagoras Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 getting the charge on them with bikes is key, wounding on 6 is huge with a 3+ save. Tbh 5 ccw scouts in a storm can take 10-12 boys if the storm can blind them and they are able to shoot down a few, since the orks go last, hitting on 5s and wounding on 5s, only the power klaw will do much Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297674-beating-orks-in-close-combat/#findComment-4010515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
