I think the answer is in the Thau line. Farstrike takes care of the poison archers, Pan centaurs and the others that defend on high def/quickness. (I know some don't like it, but for rushes before turn 10, it's Marverni's best weapon to me).

By thau 2, you'll have sleep for the tramplers and other low MR critters. As a bonus, you can also berserk your carnutes at the same time.

If you go the good scales route, you should be able to mass a bunch of regular troops with awesome morale and then back them with a few druids.

I'm not quite sure how to stop giant rushes although maybe berserk carnutes with tangle vines. And maybe curse spam (also in Thau) line.
