How do i beat the Dwarfs as Orcs?

[Nameless_Mann]

I had to restart my campaign 3 times because this "grudgebearer" always comes in and destroys everything i have. I tried tons of different unit combinations but he always wins flawlessly im so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick of him that i might just stop playing.

Numbers. You need numbers early on to beat them down. Pound for pound the Dwarfs are superior to your forces, with heavier armor and higher Leadership. Who are you playing as? Grimgor is a monster and can tear through Dwarfs like nobody's business. First go to war with other Greenskins, fight and win and fight some more until you get a WAAAGH!!! going, always loot places and beat down rebellions for free income and Fightiness to get/keep that WAAAGH!!! going strong. Make sure you have at least 17 units in your army though, otherwise no WAAAGH!!! for you, and if you drop to 16 units or less in your army it'll disband.
In addition, if you have King and Warlord Nasty Skulkers are a good flanker with armor piercing.

What difficulty are you on? Don't expand too much its just hastens your inevitable encounter with them stunties, Get wolf chariots atleast four in your army run them into the quarellerers save the ammo on them, once the quarellerers are gone start shooting the DW or miners etc. Getting wolf den opens up alot of different army compositions and I would recommend making it priority.

Wolf chariots give greenskins so much leeway in terms of army compositions vs dwarfs as they hard counter quarellerers running some wolf rider archers just makes them so much more effective, skulkers benefit as on higher difficulty's they can actually be routed even before they touch quarellerers so you can flank with no risks, trolls can smash things without being targeted down the benefits go on...

Removing quarallerers and artillery from the dwarfs should be the main priority when facing them, ignore their infantry because they are going to win the melee fight, they are not going to be able to counter all your missile cav and skirmishing goblins when they have no range left. In a perfect battle all you will have left is your lord and chariots.

Dwarfs are stronger, and have ridiculous morale. You wont break their lines unless you surround them. So you need either bigger numbers or cavalry charges in their flanks. Your ranged/artillery is worse than theirs so don't bother a ton with that.

When fighting Dwarfs as Orcs in a field battle, you're going to need chariots and/or cavalry. Go after their artillery and ranged infantry first. Try to keep out of melee at first; in a straight-up fight at the beginning of a battle, Dwarfs have much better Leadership, armor, and melee stats than most of the stuff you can put in an army and will crush your troops in no time at all.

When you've taken out as much of their ranged infantry and artillery as you can, get two lines set up for a pincer attack. Put the basic Boyz and any poor Gobbos you accidentally brought to the fight upfront, and have your better infantry in a second line behind them. Engage with a charge of your front line, and split the back line into two halves, sending each around to flank and hit the Dwarfs from behind.

Once you're engaged, send your general in from the front if they're infantry, and from behind if they're mounted. (Orc cavalry are a bit slower than normal cavalry, so if you don't go in from the back there's a high likelihood that they'll get "stuck in" with the unit they engage, which can be a death sentence if things start to turn around on them.) Grimgor is insanely good for this if you've got him. He can easily take on entire units of all but the best Dwarf infantry on his own even early in a campaign.

Spam armour piercing units and spam doom divers. Spamming doom divers r normally the best way to go. Destroy their cannons first them their missiles. Black orksll destroy any dwf units cept maybe iron breakers or hammerers. Which is a bit rare to see them in the field anyway.

Avoid using anything that doesnt armor pierce, like gobbos, wolf riders etc.

Also one majorly overlook units r orks archers, they have insane ap dmg of 5. Even more than dwf quarallers and empire xbows. With enough of them u can actually counter range their missile.

Giants, boar riders, doom divers and black orcs r your best choice against dwf. Arachnarok is another good one also.

If everything fails, just have 5 stacks of ork boyz. U can auto resolve and win everything

Even though autoresolve says otherwhise a good combination of nasty skullkers for the beginning (I'm playing the german version i don't know how they are called) and some poison archers and kav can do the job, you need some heroes to keep your leadership up though.
