Response options

Recommended answers

  • Stormboyz

    Orks
    High-risk response

    Stormboyz can reach it but lack the weapons to meaningfully damage heavy vehicle armour.

    Execution: Only worth it to force the Onager to reposition, not to kill it.

    Risk: Usually a losing trade. Bring Nobz instead.

Assumptions

These are editorial recommendations built on provisional pre-release statistics, assuming an even engagement on open ground with no upgrades. Terrain, numbers and timing will often matter more than the matchup itself.
