My Ultramarines don't like Armour 13/14 spam. I've got melta weapons, but the key is keeping them alive.

Well, Grav Guns, melta bombs, lascannons, you guys have many options for dealing with vehicles. Plus, Drop Pods!! >.<

In my 1500 list I've got mostly plasma guns, a few melta guns, thunderhammers, and melta bombs.

Well, yeah, Plasma guns are great, but don't do much to AV13. But it sounds like you have a good amount of stuff. Not sure why you have a problem with Armor.

My bugs hate DE. I don't thin I have won a singel game against pure DE. Hybrid lists of DE/plus someone else I can beat, but pure DE just clean house on me.

Word, the only "trick" I've had luck with is Tyranofex, Adrenal, Thorax Hive (I know my signature. ) with a Hormagaunt Bubble wrap...I tossed in a Veno, and Zoey escort...it made a passable Deathstar... Part of it was they foe got hypnotized by a Fleet, Furious Big Bug tossing Templates, when he should have killed the 'Thropes.

I play Nids...so my "list" of troubles is:

Grav spam, this is the hardest thing for me....

Tau, not an "impossible" task, but harder than it should be.

Eldar, but it's not like I'm alone here...

Dark Eldar, as noted...but DE is a rare army in general...

AV 13 Necron spam, or any AV spam...Nids are and will continue to struggle with this. I used to depend on Smash, and Vector Strike. Both of those options have been nerfed.

I play a "Horrors of the Hive!" style with lots of gribblies, and a few Big Bugs for support. So those lists make a lot of trouble for me. Maelstrom actually seems like it will improve my chances though...

My Space Marines dislike eldar immensely. Especially in maelstrom (which is what most of us play), wave serpents become so so so so annoying. So annoying. My god, I can't say it enough. Jink makes me cry.

I do really well against Tau, typically, though. Pods + Raiders can be really effective (especially if you can pop the things that really threatens the raiders, then they're just impossible to deal with).

Really heavy imperial knights lists, at values below 1500, also just give me a world of headaches.
