O.K. then my main force are Imperial Marines, with a bit of IG stuff
(super-heavies and artilliary), plus a Warlord Titan Battle Group.
     Generally we play 6000-7000pts. Usually I take the three Warlords as
heavy fire support, then have Devastators in cover between the titans to
shoot up any incoming bikes, the rest of my army is generally thrown
forwards into the fray to capture objectives, with one infantry company
riding in Gunships either to kill Eldar artillary, or support attacks on
objectives.
     My main problem is that the Eldar player is getting rather good at
hiding his jetbikes (which he takes rather a lot of) until the last moment
when they jump out, swarm maybe two of my titans and take them out.
     As my titans are equipped with long ranged weaponry, they`re not much
good at gunning down massed assaults, thus it`s lest to Devastators to try
to clear the jetbikes away.
     I could keep some Scouts back to defend the titans but I`m loath to do
this as Doomweavers and Warphunters are good against large formations, (as I
have found out in battles past).
     At the moment I end up deploying at least one of my gunships to rescue
my titans, which always seems like a waste.

        Any tactics anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I`ve no real wish to appear stupid (even though I probably do already)
but can someone tell me what IMHO means?
