Exterminatus should be carried out via Asteroid or atmosphere burning. This should put a damper on their units. Go in and mop up. Done. As for taking one over, well, unless you have the memetic and psychic corruption agents of Chaos or the sheer idiotic love for the figthing itself of the Orks and a stupid amount manpower on top of that, good luck.

	Features of these worlds cities include city sized walls around continent sized cities, every piece of architecture (and I do mean every) being designed with ~~defence~~ above comfort for its citizens in mind, and resource stripped landscapes that make salt flats look like bountiful gardens. The walls are almost always designed to be somewhat hollow with several levels of staircases and landings with one entrance and exit: at the bottom from the outside, and top going in. This makes it INCREDIBLY difficult to take control of the wall by force, as you are always fighting uphill and being shot at from above. On top of that the staircases are rigged to explode and collapse at the push of a button at the top if any are captured.

	If, by some miracle, you have taken the outer wall, there are about a dozen more, each taller than the previous so they're all shooting at you. The actual habitation sections of these cities are no more welcoming. The citizens don't live in housing complexes as more giant barracks riddled with heavy weapons emplacements and turrets. Note: Every citizen on a Fortress World is required to be able to man such emplacements as soon as they are able, so it's likely parents are taking their children to target practice on the turrets in between boot camp training sessions where they would have done so already. The streets of the cities are a maze of tactically advantageous corners, barricades, battlements, and firing points that are all capable of being advanced on or abandoned at a moments notice. Also, like the walls, every hab-block is rigged to blow from Control further behind the frontline/market district/downtown/wherever you are at the moment.
