Now, I'm not a very experienced Ork commander, having about 5 games under
my belt, but I can attest to the fact that Pulsa Rokkits are nice. I once
stopped a Warlord Titan from firing anything during one turn, and it only
had 5 blast markers on it. 3 SHW, one HWB, but the HWB couldn't fire at
anything, so the SHW did just about nothing. Most of those blast markers
were placed on the Warlord by a big detachment of boyz, Bwagons, Big Gunz,
and Pulsas. The Pulsas were hard to take out due to the large amount of
screening troops in the detachment, so they worked pretty well. Of course,
the next turn the Warlord ripped that detachment a new one (I think it got
rid of all its blast markers... lucky git!). Also, though it can be
quite expensive, I mechanize most of my ork detachments and march them
the first turn to get into position. If you'd like, I could send you a
list of some of the detachments I've created.
