We recently played a Squats + IG vs Orks 3k battle and we got demolished
So to figure out who's fault was it we decided to go with the only sensible option -> more shooting
IG (from memory):
HQ + hydra
Tanks + hydra
Artillery + Hydra
SHT (SS,SS,BB)
Sentinels
Rough riders
Infantry + support
Incompertus, 3000 POINTS

Normal tournament scenario
IT begins:
https://i.imgur.com/ZeI6job.jpg
It was a grindfest mostly in the center.
For the whole game it was a draw then i managed to get BTS but it wasn't until the last activation of turn 5 that i managed to snatch victory.
Memorable things:
First 5 turn game!
Artillery bat is MVP for the amount of fire it took and did not die.
Berserkers are strong but met their match fighting a very angry commissar on horseback.
Guild squadron never fought an engagement but managed to kill a Leman Russ with shooting with crossfire. (they chickened out (hold) on turn 2 and then Lemans happened)
SHT wiped out a berserker squad with one salvo. (anger and rhino are poor cover against that firepower)
Bomb car was super useful due to poor positioning of the train. (High casualties on the side of Lemans)
Do not underestimate the chickens and infantry company. MVPs on enemy side (not counting the Lemans)
I always went second. ;/
First turn Iron eagles got broken (forgot about crossfire rule) with just one left and they stayed broken 4 times. Woke up and won the game.
end (some random stands on the map could be dead for many turns):

Opinions (after 3 battles with squats from an inexperienced player):
Some units are more useful than others, eg. I doubt I will ever pick robots (unless I'm missing something). I think that Guild is also a little sub par.
AA is a challenge (I.E. it's good, but vulnerable, witch is nice actually) [my second game (2k) ended when skyhammer shot down a TH with Termites on board XD]
