I’ve recently finished redoing my guard army with the recent codex and I’ve gone completely mech with them.

However the army theme is based around Ork hunters (of sorts lol) and I’ve already been beaten badly by an Ork player. The problem is while my mech list does well against MEQ armies and a few others, it at a disadvantage against Orks due to the large numbers and power klaws in every squad.

My Current 1500pt List
Command Squad: X4 Plasmaguns, Chimera: ML&HF.
X4 Veteran Squads: X3 Meltaguns, Chimera: ML&HF.
X2 Banewolfs: Multi-melta
Manticore
Griffon / Hydra
Leman Russ: Plasma Cannon Sponsons

It just seems stupid that my army that is converted to look like Ork killing specialists but can’t defeat Orks, so I’m asking for help in building a list designed for beating mostly Orks but still do well against other armies?

At 1500 points you really don't need all of that melta in there, you can switch that up there. Swap the banewolves for hellhounds.

Is that a Hydra and/I] a Griffon in a squadron? Not very efficient, I'd take a pair of griffons for dealing with orks.

I swap between a Hydra and Griffon for that 1 heavy support choice, depending on my opponent.

That should do fine against Orks.

Flamers and mech make them just cry. Stay inside, keep moving (PKs don't do jack when they have to hit on a 6), and BBQ them.

Thats an excellent plan and many people have already suggested it... BUT MOVING THE CHIMERAS 12 ALSO STOPS ME FROM FIRING BACK!?!

What ork list are you playing? pure hoarde, biker, trukker, shooty, ? ? My main opponent is ork, and my main game is IG, so i can help but need more details.

All mounted, with the odd lootaz or nob biker squad.
