I take this is for Epic: Armageddon?
You must leverage the marines' superior mobility and initiative to hamper their plans. Imperial Guard will outman and outgun you if you try to take them head on. You're not aiming for a fair fight, you want to utterly destroy one part of their line and immediately fly or drive your troops to the next pressure point.
Always prepare your assaults by throwing blasts on the enemy formations. Use clipping assaults to only engage a part of the enemy formation and break them with kills. Hide behind terrain while advancing to charging positions and kill their artillery first. Always go for crossfires and use your retains to set up supporting fires before decisive assaults.
Unitwise, unfortunately assault marines are not very good and even less the place where you should be putting your characters. Land Raiders and Predators will not win against Leman Russes in a straight up shootout, but are better used to harry the enemy at opportune moments. Inspiring chaplains are great leading terminators in Thunderhawks.
