Hey All,
I Have a couple of questions for the community regarding small point games and specifically the fearsome greenskins!
Whats your experience fighting orks in the new codex? and have you fought them at low points levels?
My partner has recently started playing and she loves orks so we have been play testing them alot before she buys her first batch of models to make sure she like thier style.
I dont belive im a bad player, just ok, however my novice partner with lists picked of models, 'she likes', at 500points, is continualy making life very hard for me!
Ive tried 2 variations of lists that i belive to be quite competative against most armys at this points limit.
NOTE: i have posted this in the general area to discuss orks and how they play from a chaos point of view in general, Unless you have a specific concern regarding the lists i would like to refrain from discussing them right now and keep this as a discussion about the new Orks, thier strength in low and high point games and tactics chaos can employ against them. cheers
#1 (sorcerer got insta killed a little to easy for my liking)
Sorcerer, Mos, Lash
6 CSM, 1 Plasma
6 CSM, 1 Plasma
7 havocs, 3 ML
#2
Daemon Prince, Mos, Lash, wings
5 CSM, 1 Plasma
5 CSM, 1 Plasma
7 havocs, 3 ML
Now, ive been honing my tatics and feel im getting the maximum out of my small fire squads, but maybe its me, or maybe those new greenskins are just really powerful at this level?
She is using one of the Shoc attack guns on a Big Mek, 2 squads of boys with nob power klaws, and bikes or deffkopters.
I keep my small infantry squads out of los to the big mek and use them to deal with infantry as it comes in. I take out the bikes or kopters or transport with the havocs and make a be-line for the big mek with my daemon prince with the aim of getting it out of play turn3 - id love to shoot it but tht damn IC rule... - (all the while stopping one of her boys squads getting to my infantry with the lash).
It always seems to go to plan, however the sheer numbers of orks usually whittle me down so that by the end she has a marginal victory or a draw,
i dont want to go on-any further with specifics, i have outlined my plight!
What are other people experiencing in similar situations?
Any feedback is greatfully appreciated!
