hard for me to say as I am unfamiliar with thier exact capabilities/point-cost.

That said, from an Ork viewpoint, the Hive Guard seem scarier.

You pretty much have to do one or the other though, or your ability to hurt tanks means that you are at a huge disadvantage against mechanized lists.....which is what everyone you play against uses!

Either combo is solid, IMO, but I like the hive guard more as they allow you to fire from hiding.

HG are BS4, and they don't need LOS, plus the ignore most cover when firing at a unit.

Very good unit.

Ah, you are right on the BS4. I was thinking of the Tyrannofex.

I am leaning towards Hive Guard because of their durability. Joel was able to kill all of my Zoanthropes with Lascannon fire, despite their 3+ invul save.

Yeah, you have to watch out for that instant death.

But either set up is a good bet, but I honestly think you have to do one or the other or all the tanks you see at 2,500 points will prove to be too much for you to handle without them.
