        If you are playing Space Marines, I would suggest LOTS of Whirlwinds with
some kind of infantry support that can keep pace and absorb damage.
Razorbacks might fulfill this role beautifully as they have armor, okay fp,
and carry a unit of infantry. Overwatch as long as you can, then mount up
and move. You have to time it right, though, 'cause 'Nids are fast.
