    That would be like maybe an MMA fighter trying this on a silverback gorilla. It juat ain't gonna work the physical diference is just too great.

    Plus I think s3 is combination of various fight affecting factors beyond pure strength. Orks are s3 because they lack technique and finess, don't think about a fight beyond smash dat, and don't pull tricks on their enemy. They do however have so much brute strength and aggresion that they negate technique to a degree. Plus TT models are supposed to represent a different number of units (as I see it). So an ork boy model to me is 10 boys, 1 gaurd is 20 gaurdsmen, 1 SM is 1, and 1 necron is .025 of an actual necron :)p)

    if is lucky or the book/videgame/codex protagonist yes, even 50 orks at the same time.

    in eternalcrusade we can defensive bash with no damage recived no need of stormshield or other stuff just dbash. we can dbash all weapon and take no damage.

    this article is litterally "learn to defensive bash ork and hit them while they are staggered".

    Please, I've fought guardsmen and orks equally. I have to say the orks are far more entertaining in close quarters combat. They actually make me work for the kill.

    Now I want to fight a gorilla. Harambe 2.0!
    And see, now we're talking about S3, which encompasses regular guardsmen, SoB in power armour, orkboyz, and eldar. So somewhere between a nerd and a bodybuilder. But a nerd with training can still intercept a bodybuilder punch.

    I don't see any other solution than to paint a gorilla green and wrestle it.

    Edit: I looked up gorilla fighting on the internet, and I've come to the conclusion that gorillas actively shy away from serious confrontation, and that more fights come down to dominance than actual death or injury. I'm not actually comfortable trying to fight an animal that seems so uninterested in battle.

    Gorilla fight postponed pending suitable replacement!

    Probably for the best. Any animal that can pull apart a steel lined tire with its bare hands is probably a bad animal to fight with.

    Eh, there are worse things in life than disfigurement, maiming, and death.
