What's your worst army to play against with orks? could be interesting
Eldar are a tougher opponent than Tau, for many reasons...although it partially depends on what type of ork army you're playing as.
The Eldar not only have good anti-armor (not as good as the Tau's, but still good), but they have a lot of scary template weapons, a lot of effective high initiative troops, and psychic powers that will cripple the effectiveness of your boyz. As a bonus, the Eldar skimmers are generally more resilient than the Tau's, and the
Most importantly, the Tau have no chance in hell of standing up to orks in close combat, not even the Kroot carnivores, and honestly, they've never even bogged me down. Eldar, on the other hand, can not only bog you down in close combat, but win as well.
I've played against the new codex twice with my orks and seen a few people with other armies play against them. I won both battles, once with a foot slogger army and once with a speed freekz army. They're not that hard to kill, the rear armour of their vehicles can still be glanced by boyz and annihilated by nobs. I just make sure I kill their commanders so that they can't give out orders, this generally makes them thing they've already lost as they can no longer play with their new toys. The new heavy 20 leman russ tank isn't any where near as scary as everyone thought it was going to be... it kind of sucks actually. Be careful not to take reserves though, their dude who messes with your reserve roll is very annoying.I voted imperial guard, and while ive never played against them with orks, (i only started an ork army coz they came in thew black reach box). I think the new codex will cause alot of problems.Alot of people in the SM forum are getting scared of the shooty guardsmen. IMO if we marines in our Mk IV power armour are scared of so much las fire, i think the orks should be to..........
Have you heard about the "mob rule"?The comblination of pariahs,flayed ones,destroyer lord can reduce orks to leadership 6
