Have a lot of ground units and shooting. Offense on FMC's is severely lacking, especially with the nerfs to vector-strikes, assaulting, psychic shooting and not being able to score while in the air.
And when I say a lot, I mean 60 tactical marines in rhinos/drops and a host of other infantry units. You might not kill much, but he isn't going to be able to get your ObSec troops off of objectives either and he can't contest them with his FMC's.

4 tips.
A)always play the objective game. if he is using as many FMC as posible and min "troops" get as many of the objects as you can. and then just hold. he has the up hill battle.
B) you dont need anti tank. so las cannons arent as big an issue. HB and auto cannons give you more shots and chances to hit. and since most FMCs are T6 you dont need the top end STR to wound.
C) get a Fortification with lots of guns or a cheep one with alot of shots
D)Heldrake will seriously trump a FMC or take cheep Loyalist flyers with more shots and just out fly them.
Hope that helps =D

When the new SW codex drops, I am hoping they are given flakk missiles. Then I'll take a bunch of long fangs if I know I'm up against nids. Flakk vs FMC, Krak vs MC, Frag vs inf.
Or, as said, you just take a bunch of ObSec troops. Sit on the objectives.
