...when they have an organ gun. What is the best way to kill this thing? I was thinking about bum rushing it with a unit of 50 clan rats with a warlord, marching with the banner of hauling verminous buttness and just running them down. Any other ideas/suggestions? I know he will be trying to target my beautiful little screaming bell.

This topic is probably better in the tactis area so other people can read it too.

Anyway, if it's not guarded then my suggestion would be send in gutter runners with slings and poison. Shoot and / or charge in to kill that pesky gun. Yep, send in a death squad with a specific mission.

Actually, there is a current thread running that kinda talks about this subject here: Gutter runner uses

Actally, don't shoot it with WLC
WLC are here to wreck big units and monsters / riders with low-ish toughness
They're terribad at taking out warmachiens due to the random strength

If you dont get the first turn, dont expect tour wlc to be around, it will be cannoned off.
I faced dwarves last weekend , and the Volly gun was the least of my worries.
Being a ballistic skill weapon it will be affected by the storm banner. And you MUST have a storm banner against dwarves IMHO or the gyrocopters will just murder your bloks with template weapons.
Stuffing your least favoured warlock engineer in a slave unit as ram it down its throat seems the best option to me. The slave unit will always be useful against dwarves, if for no other reason then to act as a meat shield for your other units from said volly gun., and possibly to tie up a dwarf unit for a turn to avoid your stormvermin evaporating in a single turn from hatred/resolute .

Thanks all, I have successfully brought about the doom of the bearded things this weekend. The gutter runners did the trick (barely, I will have bigger units next time instead of just 5). The only other thing I can say is Qweek with his bodyguards were absolutely BRUTAL. In one turn Qweek and 20 S.Vermin took out 10 Iron breakers to no losses.

Wow.

Qweek you da man, errr rat..man :bow:
