The whole key to playing against a shooty army is to advance as quickly as you can and assualt. Units that can't advance quickly need to advance in cover. An adequate amount of terrain is required on the table to be able to accomplish this. My preferred method is a battlewagon with a Big Mek with KFF and 19 boyz in it. Add a Deff Rolla to the BW to make the IG troops cringe. A truck to the left and a truck to the right with a warboss and ard boyz in one and nobz with painboyz in the other. Keep the trucks within 6" of vehicle with the big mek in it for a 50% miss chance (hooray!). Assualt vehilcle and troops as you desire. Make sure you give the truck rams in case you need to move some of his infantry with a tank shock.

If you need to take some heat off of your army for the first turn or two zip your deffcoptas right up in front of him. He is unlikely to kill them with lasgun fire so he'll have to dedicate some anti-vehicle fire to them lest you start hitting his pricey vehicles with rokkits. With you 24" turbo boost over terrain you should be able to use some of his units to block line of sight. Your coptas will probably die, but it's less shooting going at your vehicle spearhead.
