Well, i have been loosing alot in DOW dark crusade and i need help with those other players regarding rushing,teching (instead of making an army you just sit and wait) and just all around playing.

I know that rushing grey knights on sm is good, attacking with the necron lord is awesome and spamming eldar guardians i find are the best.
Any other helpful suggestions on what to build/make/attack with?

Don't rush, for one.
Build up a fire base of tactical squads with heavy bolters, and a second group armed with missile launchers for anti-tank.
With vehicles obviously you want a Land Raider ASAP, but other than that I would queue dreadnaughts in the orbital command thingy and hotkey it, so you can drop-pod them down once the fighting starts.
Goes without saying, you want as many apocathories as possible, as well as a chaplain.
Other than that is pretty race-specific. What works against IG and Tau will definitely not work against orks.

I would concentrate on one race for now, get good with that one then think about moving to another one.

Practice a build order that you find comfortable and practice it against AI on Hard and then progress up to Insane level. When you can beat Insane you're ready for the online world.

Resource is key, so it's an idea to capture points as quickly as possible, as well as capping them with listening posts. An uncapped point is a welcome sight for your enemy. If they are producing resource faster than you then you are on the back foot.

If you can rush, and pull it off, you can win the game quite easily although Dark Crusade is not so much about the rush as Vanilla was, it's the stronger units that win the game.

With Tau, Vespid and Commander rush is good, concentrate on Generators or Listening posts and kill off any builders. Follow up with maybe a squad of Kroot to tie up any squads, decapping points when they can.

The Grey Knight T2 tech is good but can leave you open if your enemy decides to mass rush you, vanilla style. Having a better unit doesn't always beat sheer numbers.

I've had some success with 3 Plasma Scouts, Force Commander and Grey Knights to counter this although I am not as good as I used to be. I have problems remembering some build orders as I don't play as often now.
