Landraiders are the unit I also worry about the most (especially mixed
LR/infantry detatchments). So I'm curious what tactics and troops you
have you used against him? Also, what tactics is he using with his
units. The orks don't have AT weapons, but they do have lots of options,
so I'm curious to see what has and hasn't worked for you.
