OK, let's look at Titans: Warlords in fact. It used to be that 12 Ork
Bonebreakers would, on average, strip the shields off a Warlord. Or
alternately, 2 Greats or Slashas via the Gutbuster, that often took out
the Titan as well...
Now you need 48. Yes, 48. OTOH 48 Gretchin would also do.
It used to be that 9 Landraiders would strip the shields. Now you need
12.

All Ork Tanks are now about as effective as the old vanilla
Battlewagons, BUT can only carry 1 stand, not 3. OTOH they are slightly
cheaper than before. Use them in masses.

I wouldn't bother. In fact, I'm not bothering. Except for the Cavalry.
All the old square bases with Boarboyz, Bikes etc on are being recycled.
Ork Dreadnoughts are actually useful now. Most command stands will be on
the old bases, with some of my sundry Orcs on the new ones for variety.
