Skorcha

The Ork Skorcha is very effective against infantry at short range, and it is ideally suited to clearing out entrenched positions. With a good turn of speed, it is useful for flanking the enemy.

Ork Dreadnoughts are fearsome close combat orientated walkers, and their Kombat Klaws can cut through the toughest armour. However, they are slow, and may suffer a high rate of attrition on the way in.

Wildboyz

Wildboyz are primative even by Ork standards. They have no ranged weapons, instead preferring to run into battle wielding axes and shields.

Warp Spiders

Warp Spiders are extremely versatile assault orientated infantry capable of shredding formations of lower armoured troops before a shot is fired in return. A popular tactic is to emerge from Storm Serpent Webway gates and use their considerable assault range to hit unsupported or unprepared enemy targets.

Leman Russ Destroyer

The Leman Russ Destroyer (aka Tank Destroyer) is built for one purpose: hunting enemy tanks. Its chassis houses its Laser Destroyer main gun, and no other armaments are deemed necessary.

Leman Russ Conqueror

The Leman Russ Conqueror is a slightly less heavily armed Leman Russ variant. To make up for this relative lack of firepower, it is a faster tank than its cousins.

Götterdämmerung Howitzer

Götterdämmerung Howitzers are long range artillery guns. They are immobile, but can be towed into position by a Bruenhilde if required.

Snipers

Imperial Guard Snipers are excellent for taking out enemy targets of high importance. They can also provide a useful screen to protect against assaults on valuable friendly units.

Ogryns

Ogryns are huge brutes with somewhat limited mental capacity. This does not impede their ability to pummel their enemies in close quarters fighting.

Tzeentch Firelord

The Chaos Firelord is a bomber is excellent at destroying entrenched targets. Flame Cannon and Firestorm Bombs make a mockery of natural cover or fortifications, while its Twin Lascannon is useful for taking out enemy armour and aircraft.
