Dawn of War Chaos Strategies: Dark Eldar

Dawn of War Chaos Strategy Against The Dark Eldar.
For many of you newbies this is your thought process against these guys.
Chaos SMASH!
But the reason this doesn't work well is because Dark Eldar break morale very easily.
So if all your guys get scared really fast what can you do you think?
Well your in luck because daemonic possession helps a lot!
The trick is to use fearless units, ones that don't use morale.
So Khorne Berzerkers are your basic force, use these like you would Marines.
Possessed Marines can be used to help take down stronger units like the Archon and Haemonculus
Obliterators can help take down infantry killers like Scourges and Warp Beasts.
Horrors can be used to take down vehicles but they do use morale but it is a lot more than average.
If the enemy is targeting your Horrors you can use Chaos Rhinos to deploy smoke that halves morale damage, but it shouldn't be that big a worry there is a swarm of axe wielding fantatics in the way.
And of course Defilers or Chaos Predators can be used to take down structures but I prefer Defilers due to the fact that they can be used to break waves of guys.
An alternate style is also to do a normal wave but deploy Chaos Rhinos for smoke to slow morale loss.
So lineup is..
Berzerkers
Possesed
Obliterators
Horrors
Rhinos are Optional
Defilers or Predators
 or
Rhinos
Whatever
