I'm sure everyone has become aware of the recent update for the Ork FAQ - Deff rollas have really sent shockwaves through the 40k community.
Yes, this is certainly something to be feared, and it spells certain doom for my walkers, but hey - who cares?
My advise, stop grumbling and devise plans to combat it. I know I will.

Heh. Why would War Walkers care? The Battlewagons will be pointed at your main lines even more now. This just makes that side armour easier to nail on an Outflank...
Also, I loved Fritz's post on it today. :-p
'a minor annoyance to see all those ork vehicles with tubes and crappy rollers taped to their fronts this weekend at the tourney.'
That's brilliant :p
I knew I should have saved those old toilet paper rolls.... ;-)
I've never thought to play them any other way, since the rulebook states that a ram is a tank shock pretty explicitly (as least IMHO)
So the long, thin vehicle with weak flank armor drives straight at me? Score.
AV12 flanks on an 18-wheeler are fine by me. It gives Orks a token threat against AV14 (...which they need help with, admittedly) and makes them more likely to get close and expose them to melta and other nastiness.
In a recent game vs Orks, I found jetbikes to be extremely effective to take down these vehicles - just zip around to the back, pop off those shuriken cannon hits, and down it goes!
In my particular game, I was only able to manage a side armour shot, but the +1 on the damage table due to open-topped proved to be vital in achieving a wrecked result.
