Dawn of War Codex

Seriously, how do you beat IG? No matter how many Assault Marines I throw at them they just seem to turn around and shoot the crap out of me or run into their Chimera, build las turrets and whack me.
Anyone got any tips? I'm seriously struggling, I always lose to IG.

2 Tac + Deves for Force Commander go with Shield + arti + standart. AC Dread, Whirlind, Plasma Dev

Also, use flamers and missile launchers.

Firatwithin said it all. Just to be more annoying you can use 2 deves and dont forget venge rounds. Specially against sentinel.

Agree on 2 Devs play no matter they can be countered by Spotters. Also, early Sentinal loss means directly 300 req spended into nothing sooo as Forestradio says; focus fire.

If you run double Devs you should include the Librerian in T2. His Veil of Time reduces setup time to 0 and increases their speed. With that you can easily evade the pesky flares and smoke/mortar shells. You can also really snipe down vehicles. Gate of Infinity to quickly teleport Devs into the fray and then Veil of Time on them to make them fire immediately - dead Chimera.
"Death Is Like The Wind" used this nice trick vs "Ven Kitsunes" WarTrukk. It blew my mind (and the Trukk).

I would not advise to purchase vengeance rounds in this MU. Lascannon is priceless at dealing with basically any vehicle IG can offer. Vengeance rounds are good only in MUs where there are offensive vehicles that come to your face. Like vs orks where they throw cans and trukks at you and later on suppression will come handy against nobz, yes, the looted tank will rape your devs but not a big deal. Or against Chaos where he can use a khorne dread/bloodcrusher against you. With a librarian in your army it is easier to get something out of VR devs but still it is such an unreliable thing whereas lascannon snares and damages highly from afar and you can just chase your target always remaining at a safe distance.
