I'm having a problem vs an Iron Hands player I play on occasion. He likes to hide stuff like Centurions, Thunderfires, and other various goodies in the 2nd or 3rd levels of ruins, and bolster with 1-2 techpriests to 3+ cover, and a bunch of empty pods - I'm really struggling against this list. I can't outshoot it, and my terminators can't get up the ruins fast enough. My bikes can't climb at all.
I'm considering running a squad or two of assault marines, but I feel like it defeats the purpose of playing DA. The divination power to ignore cover is a bit random. Thoughts on how to beat it?

Why can your bikes not climb? Ruins are just difficult terrain now.

Land speeder squadron with heavy flamers would be my first choice, cheap fast and plenty of delicious templates ignoring his beloved cover.
Or if you have points to spare 10 Sternguards, 8 combi flamers, 2 heavy flamers in a LR Redeemer.
The emperor gave you his cleansing fire for a reason!

Make a map without ruins. You'll still struggle just cause of codex ballance.

I think you take a dangerous terrain test but that probably won't be an issue.

In 6th edition, only infantry, beasts, jetbikes and jump/jet units could climb ruins. 7th edition removed all those rules, so... you can turbo-boost a rhino up onto a building if you really wanted to.
