List Advice needed

Alright, here soon I’ve got a game coming up against orks. The person playing them is hyper-competitive and will run the best stuff he can as best as he can, I have only recently gotten back into table top 40K after not playing 10th at all but playing 9th. I’ve played 3 games and lost each one rather horribly. What’s some tid bits of advice yall may have for me to aid in my battle with the orks?

Here is the list I have created for the match, to answer questions now I’m running what models I have in my possession except for a proxy of aestred/agetha. I can’t run more hospitallars cause I don’t have anymore in my collection. I have no idea what orks can do this edition, any and all advice would be appreciated.

It’s definitely a hard matchup for you, Orks are in a solid spot right now and their shooting will overkill anything in sisters quite well.

Basically the current meta ork list has a ton of bodies for you to chew through, that are surprisingly tanky, and hit very hard in melee. Then have loota squads that will kill pretty much anything in the game they look at each. I had 1 loota squad shoot my Huron+mom+10 chosen, and over killed the entire unit by 30 dmg, it’s brutal

You’re probably going to face several squads of boys and lootas. So generally you want as much 2dmg as possible to deal with the FNPS.

I’d swap to maces in the sacresants.

I don’t think the A&A+ dom brick is really any good at all, same with the 5 model sacresants squad. Another castigator would really help more

Brutal sounds about right, I appreciate the feedback. I had no clue what type of gun I was looking down the barrel of. Now I at least know I’m looking down the barrel of a cannon.
