Hi Hive Folks!

I soon will be playing a friendly match vs Orks.  The Ork's General is notorious for blowing stuff up with things like Shokk attack gun and cleaning up with lots of ork boyz.
Within my group those orks are considered to be almost unbeatable.

Any comments or improvements are appreciated!

I reccomend using a Flying Hive Tyrant, these are really broken in 500/1000 games due to the smaller map, they can travel the whole battlefield in one turn and just 1shot anything you want, same goes of dimachaeron, but I usually assume people don't have one, cause forgeworld
