Still have no idea how I could stop a formation of 2 decimators which deal out macro barrages. Tie them up with small formation as cannonfodder? They were just sitting next to the objective and shooting me to pieces...
Zzapwagons/Zzapforts should have no problem with the Decimators. Zzap guns are TKd3, outrange the Decimators and both wagons and forts are much faster than Decimators. Even infantry Zzaps should have a decent shot at picking them off.
I suspect this was more of an issue of you having many fewer activations due to the mega-formation tying up so many points.

Never tried that one, don't you find that they're too vulnerable without the reinforced armour?
Not if you build the list right.
A small number of forts in an army list is terrible. They become primary targets for MW and TK. They die fast and quiet.
Orks are an attrition force. Forts are cheap transport (~20% less than wagons), so take lots. Give the opponent lots of potential targets so there just isn't enough MW/TK to deal with them all. If you lose a few forts, so what? Overwhelm the specialized firepower with numbers.
You can also ramp up the demands for MW/TK firepower by taking other heavy units, like Stompas, Supastompas and Gargants.
In other words, when it comes to using Fortresses, go heavy or go home.
