Fighting against Obliterators

[Duke]

So, I am about to play someone who runs 5-9 Oblits... I play Marines/ Blood Angels. What I was looking for is tips on beating armies with lots of Oblits cause I haven't had much experience against them.

Thanks

The answer most people will give you is probably: Plasma Weapons.
I personally have had oblits taken down by bolter fire...
Otherwise a Vindicator is alays a good idea, Instant Death (they CAN fail that invunerable save!)
Hope this helps,
Lindargo,

I was thinking:

1. Command squad with all Plasma guns with attatched Librarian who has Null Zone and gate of infinity

2. 2x Vindicators

3. massed bolter fire

He also runs a chosen squad with 5x melta guns (Or something like that) he then outflanks them. Ideas to counter?

I think that should do the trick. Edit: Below sound like a better idea

Does this guy run 5-9 oblits with some sort of Lash?

If you are playing BA's an assault squad w hidden fist should be all you need. They auto-die whereas the plasma will only net a single wound. spend one turn jumping behind cover and the second jumping into them. beware of plasma cannon blast.

The Vind is a bad idea since you only have 24+6 range, whereas the Oblits have 48 las, and most likely a 4+ cover save.

Vas w/Dante and a pair of melta guns make for a nice start before you assault them with multiple power weps. The aforementioned vindy or two also does a nice job along with las cannons and other low ap at weps.

Meltaguns and hidden powerfists work well.

Lascannons (particularly Godhammer Land Raiders) work fantastically, too. Tri-las predators would probably hurt them a lot too, as long as they don't deepstrike in.

Edit: pretty much anything that can put out multiple Str 8+ shots/attacks that ignore armor will work wonders.

[Earthen]

just be sure that, whatever youre using to counter, 5-9 lascannon shots on turn 1 wont leave you high and dry without a solution.

I've only played against oblits one time, but my 4 lascannon shots took care of 3 of them pretty well. Took out 2 of them turn one and finished off the last turn 2.

I am going to second the Assault Squad with a Fist option. Seems like the cheapest way to go, also it won't force you to deviate from your normal list very much!
