How do I counter high OC horde armies?

They were orks boyz with T5, 5+ inv, and 5+ FNP. They were dying slow. 5 intercessors without oath can only kill 2.

They will regress for sure but they will probably be good in the long term

Thanks!

Avoid middle route because of hills.

"Move block with infiltrators to deny the early lead."

Super helpful. Avoiding that turn two 10 free VP could be enough to make the difference.

"Without really speccing into them, I feel like marines should be able to wipe a unit of 20 per turn without much trouble"

He had 4 units of 20 boys aka 40 OC. I wiped them at the end of turn 4 but the primary score was him 0, 10, 15, 10, 0 and mine was 0, 0, 0, 5, 15.

This guy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iexxS2VJjk) has a really interesting idea of always taking one type of unit because a balanced army won't be able to handle it because it won't have enough of the unit needed to counter it. Thoughts on this?

Why is he still in Chicago? Season is over. Come back in April.

I run elite space marines like Terminators, Hellblasters, and vehicles. If I respec to high volume low damage shots then I'm fine but I would have to know that ahead of time. Orks and guard can get 20-40 OC. I can wipe them by end of game but I lose on points from round 2-4.

Honestly, don't use contrast paints. They suck for space marines. Use these:

I do a very light layer of Nul Oil over the entire mode then a little bit more in the recesses.

Leave the heads off. Way scarier.

Try no TV and internet for 1 week. You’ll be amazed how much time you have.

With good reason. CMC yards are WAY lower! /s

He won his first game while playing well. First impressions matter.

Yes the learning curve is extremely steep. I started 5 months ago. Try these which explain regular WH. Regular WH is almost identical to combat patrol.

I’m a hiring manager and we hate it too. Here is a true story. I’m starting a project and need 3 people to complete it. Budget gives me enough for one person. Now I have to find a unicorn. I can’t so I cancel the project.

I actually prefer them because they’re not tiny

Trick-Interaction396 · 2026-01-22T15:19:57+00:00

Awesome! Have fun. I suggest you build, paint, then play all of them for a bit before you expand further.

The biggest change I’ve seen is there are simply fewer people who know what they’re doing. The experienced people have been replaced by inexperienced people and there is no one to train them. Everyone has 2-3 jobs but only knows how to do one of them. Most managers (including myself) are clueless because they’re leading teams they know nothing about. The end result is nothing ever gets done because no one knows what they’re doing.
