Ok, so soon, I have a upcoming 1500pt battle, against my IG and a SM army.

My IG army is, as it's posted here

but the opponents Space Marine army is very mobile. Everything in his army can be deep-striked or transported by Rhino. (except Dvstator squad and Predator)

He does not favour vehicle over infantry, so I don't have to expect any landraiders or vindicatorsor whirwinds or so on, but a predator or razorback is expected.

From my exprience with him, most of his AT units will be in Dvstator squad and spread through out Tactical squad. He likes equipping his guys with melta and power fist.

SO, basically, my IG army is centered on "Stand the ground and fight" instead of moving around fast. I imagine him probably just deep striking just about anywhere behind my line. So how should I deploy and defend my self?

I have some ideas, but jsut wanted if you guys have any good ideas.

Spread out so he cannot deep strike behind you, hug the board edge. I know for a Fact my 140 guys in a 1500 point match can cover the entire deployment zone, while heavy weapon teams take up inside Terrain and fireing lines.

Not sure what tables you play on, but try to deploy your Heavy Bolters in 3 or more Story Terrain, that way the enemy marines can't hide behind Terrain as you can see over it.

Or make certain areas able to be deep striked in (Bait) but have, say, a few sqauds within rapid fire of that area, so if he dare strikes in, he gets to eat around 25 rapid firing lasguns + Hvy Bolters! Deployment is key here although i think you have already gone against him

Aye, I did.

But thanks for your input though, Shibb!

I'll have to go with spreading out also, I've had great annoyance with my Daemons by trying to DS aggressively and seeing units scatter into the enemy or drop in completely the wrong places, try and force him to DS where YOU want, some nice Battlecannons will also make a mess of his day.
