WARHAMMER 40K SOULSTORM EXPANSION.


I am playing as the Space Marines and I am on top of a hill. My defenses were good at first now they're shit! I'm low on resources and I only have 1 assault marine squad...
Wait they have just been killed.
That leaves me with one predator annihilator 3 marine squads, 2 servators, and 1 commander.
Building left: Monastery Stronhold, chapel, and half of a machine cult.

I am under attack by the Bad Moon and Evil Sunz ork tribes. They consist of Nobs, Killa Khans, slugga boyz, and a sack full of flya boyz! Oh and Wartrukks.

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!??

I'm really good at rts games but this is ridiculous! The ugly green bastards came out of nowhere.

HELP!

Step one: Curl up
Step two: Try not to cry.
Step three: Weep inconsolably.

I've never played it, but are there seriously groups called Slugga Boyz and Flya Boyz? They sound like grime artists fresh outta London.

Sounds like you've already lost this battle, try playing offensively and take the fight to the Orks next time? Go for the kill on one tribe (or at least constantly harass both of them) while expanding as aggressively as you can as early as you can. Such a strat usually works in most situations if you're going up against the AI. If you're playing a campaign stronghold mission, just go get more honor guard units.

I had the difficulty set on insane. I usually keep it on hard. I'll take note of your advice.
Yeah, they swarmed me. That will teach me not to have the Imperial Guard as an ally. They're a bunch of babies. I'll just stick with the armies of Chaos.

You are right. u hit da nail right on da ead'. Scuse me not flya boyz they're actually called storm boyz. I just call them flya boyz because they have rockets attached to their back and the can harass you. You should play the Warhammer 40k Dawn of War series. It really kicks rear!

Yeah, I personally love playing as the IG, but the AI sucks with them.

EDIT: Ever play the Ultimate Apocalypse mod?

I play the IG too. Their main infantry units stink, but I do enjoy their Ogryns and Kasyrkryn squads. Their armored units are awesome. I love using the basilisks and their relic weapon Baneblade. Which is what they had when I was being attacked by the ORKS the other day. The Imperium will feel the full brunt of my Chaos forces! FOR CHAOS!

I haven't played the Ultimate Apocalypse mod yet. I found a website that has it though. The website kicks rear because you can get new maps and new unites, looks, weapons etc.
I am going to download the Ultimate Apocalypse mod today as a matter of fact. I HEARD IT'S AWESOME!

Yeah, though Ogryns and Kasyrkyn are great, I personally loved HW teams as they don't cap out at 1 unit and give early-midgame guard some needed defensive flexibility. But, mostly, the infantry is there to clog the enemy's guns with their bodies so that the Guard's tanks can just roll over them.

I've not played UA yet (too many other games on my plate), but the videos I've seen make it look pretty cool, though they're still working on balance.

UA is supposed to have more units in it.

Yes, a LOT more units and 3 new factions.

Damn it. I downloaded it and it turns out that the version I downloaded requires Steam.

Surely I can get a version that does not require steam. I looked at a review of UA, now I want to play it really bad.

EDIT.

Okay I installed it. It is awesome except for one thing. The units eventually disappear and you can only see their shadows.

EDIT.

I fixed it. Now my Chaos plunderers will crush on your pathetic imperial guardsmen, striker!
