Orcs vs cavalry need advice
Any decent tactics or strong units for taking on cavalry focused armies when I'm playing Orcs? Just ran into a VC army with 13!! units of black knights + some infantry and didn't know how much those things wreck orc infantry. Their charge and morale damage is bad enough but they also seem to win in melee. Playing on hard.

Big Uns' like a challenge. They fights arder when big things are around, cuz theys got to show who's biggest.

Get rid of da scrawny gits and find some big ladz.

Trolls, Nasty Skulkers, Big Uns, Boar Boyz.

Dont forget that your anti-large units need to be braced (unmoving + facing the right direction) for its charge negation to work.
Boar boy big'uns work quite well with support against cavalry. Black Orcs deal amazing damage IF they dont get charged, so send them in once your meats shields have absorbed said charge.
I wouldn't recommend Trolls unless you have a good way of keeping morale up especially against VC.

I might be wrong, but I think the Greenskins are the only faction where that doesnt apply. Big Un's cant brace, so its best to counter charge the cavalry.

usually masses of nasty skulkers take everything

honestly pretty much anything in your roster should win gold for gold. big uns are antilarge so those better than most but...
