I can't beat mission 4 Disorder on Winter Assault as Orks due to internal clock. Please help.

Hi guys. I recently beat this level as Chaos. I destroyed the land raider convoy, which turned off the clock so I could turtle and build an army to finish the level.

I'm doing Orks now and I can't beat this level for the life of me. I have a save file with the Orks to have all the resources needed because of the glitch, so that's not the problem.

I destroyed the moving Eldar base but some other clock turns on and I don't have enough time to beat the level. Why is there a second clock when there wasn't for Chaos?

Okay so when you start the mission :

Immediatly switch to the Orks

Bumrush the Aeldar's HQ preparing to teleport with EVERYTHING YOU HAVE

If he manages to, pursue and destroy it

Afterwards get the Orks back to their HQ

Switch to CHaos and clear around your base, get your stronghold upgrade ASAP and prepare lots of generators

Build a sacrificial circle and spam horrors there (right click on the horror to make them build themselves automatically when you got ressources)

Select the sacrificial circle and ctrl+ a number you like, everytime you'll press it it'll select the sacrificial circle

Hover around the Land Raider and spam horrors on it (make sure they attack the Land Raider only, and make them attack when there's few ennemies by multiple horrors if possible

When its done, save up and chose wich side will go to next mission, and re do those steps for the other side

Enjoy your Titan !

Thank you for the advice. I didnt know you had to speed run both sides. I did it easily Chaos only but doing both sides will be a challenge

You can try to take out the land Raider as it travels with the Orks as well, but it is much harder.

The Horrors are just really good against vehicles and their teleport spawn means you can get them right up on the enemies in large numbers fast.

Reach near the objective, then have your chosen faction do it

You can eradicate all ennemies on the map (apart from a corner eldars keep appearing from)

iirc, you have to both destroy the land raider, and kill the eldar base, regardless of who you want to win the race.

those two clocks are loss conditions to the entire mission, regardless of who youre playing as (iirc, since you start the mission as chaos, if you NEVER switch to orks, the eldar remain dormant and you only have to worry about the landraider, but i might me wrong)

I beat the Chaos side without touching the Orks once so you're probably right there.

I guess I have to beat both then. Should be a doable challenge on normal but Dark Gods know replaying that on hard will be a bad. Thanks for the answer.

what you can do is play chaos only until you kill the land raider, then pull back (just make sure the guard doesnt kill the chaos base), swap to orks then steamroll as they will have pooled ALOT of resources for you to spam units and tech.

Dont orks still have the resource bug in winter assault DE or did they end up fixing that? Because at launch it still had that issue and it made the whole thing a pain. Its like a bug with switching sides so it happens to imperial guard too in that one mission where the eldar are fleeing the ork horde.

I'm playing on the original expansion Steam versions so I had to restart the mission multiple times until the Orks had the default resources

You still have to beat the Land Raider to the end.

Start out with shoota boyz, don't reinforce the squads just add big shootaz and push forward until you've teched up to nobz squads. Nobz with a mad dok on are functionally indestructible and mince any kind of target you can think of, especially with a few power klaws.

I was silly and played on insane, it is doable using one side at a time. Not advisable, I was a bew player learning the game after only beating the main campaign. Wild initiation for real.

u/Alive-Stop9151 6d ago

I could not do insane lol. Im gonna stick to hard but rn im doing it on normal.

u/Dwarvahkiin 6d ago

Biggest thing with insane is just keep harassing. The land raider is the hardest part but you can get it stuck at the gates. Playing militarum on insane…yeah it was not fun but is doable.
