First off, i don't know if Counts as is the correct words...
I see people with Zombie Guardsmen that are Imperial Guard...
Looted Ork stuff that is... Well whatever codex there from in the first place...
Chaos Bezerkers with Jump backs as a Blood Angels army...
My only idea was to do Zombie Guardsmen, but its been done... and i don't have the genius to expand on that idea 
The only minor expansion was to either do Drowned Guardsmen, so there tanks are covered in mud and Weeds and stuff (If you live in england, Shopping Trolleys and Boots) and there skin is like a paley grey colour similiar to drowners.
Only downside is, i'm not excatly great at painting...

What are your parameters? E.g. Just IG? Horror movie theme? Etc.
Two simple ideas for you: Genestealer cult Imperial Guard OR Tau Human Auxillia.

Rogue Imperial Worlds: Droid Army (counts as IG).
Model an entirely cyborg/robotic army to be used as IG, extra points if its a rogue AI that took over the forgeworld and destroyed any organics present.
Other options:
Beastmen IG.
Lizard men is SPAAAAACE
Junker army (kits bash with fantasy, ig and ork loot)

If you enjoy kitbashing find an army with a solid core of mini's from both Fantasy and 40K, or atleast have a concept in mind that lets you lean on both for resources.
Orks can pull off a savage army using fantasy and 40K bits.
Guard, zombie guard, traitor guard, cultists, etc can all pull from empire, vampire counts, imperial guard and a heavy forgeworld model base.
Exodites gives you eldar and a good elf mix. etc.
Best thing to do is find a concept you LOVE and do it your way, if you end up doing something purely because nobody else has done it and end up losing the drive to see it through you'll end up with alot of only half finished awesomeness.

Well it's semi-unique, I saw a steampunk necron army a while back, and i'm currently making one myself.
Drowned guardsmen sounds pretty cool, if you were to make them all in old pre-herasy uniforms or something.

Samurai IG from a mix of Urban Mamoth's triads, War Game's factory Ashiguri, Infinity figures. Color coded squads and backbanners - all on foot. Watch a Kurosawa movie clip or two like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQczO-YzMZ8
Fairly unusual in how it plays, as well as being unique in how it looks. Just for the love of the golden throne don't stick GW IG weapons on figures that are too small for them - use their existing weapons and add power cables and sights and such to make them look high tech.

Sounds cool, plenty of options for shrunken heads, death masks, crazy guys etc.
Marauder Horsemen kit is a godsend if you want mounted guardsmen for less than a small fortune.
And Flagellent kit is pure awesomeness for decent torso/legs and accessories

If you're going to use guard as Zombies, I say play as Tyranids. The Zombies are gonna run en masse and eat you. Come up with some way to reflect Hive Tyrants or primes, then maybe Ogryn "carnifexes". Half torsoed crawlers could be ripper swarms. Just some ideas. hope this helps.

Nice, try and find a use for Forge Worlds skin walkers, tried desperately to find a way to fit them into my cultists but it just wasnt happening. They seem ideal for a feral/werewolf/abhuman guard list.

Nice, when you get yourself started try and get a P&M blog going, always great to see some conversions and unique armies being built. Most of my inspiration to actually convert/paint comes after seeing someone else having put that much work into their own army

Renaissance guard with moustaches and silly hats, empire meets IG. Men at arms meets IG for gritty footsloggers. Finally highlanders with Victoria Lamb's parts.

Victorian "Zulu' era colonial imperial guard? A classic but you rarely see one doing an infantry theme. Although the idea of empire guard rocks too, after all fluff wise it could be. There have always been 'technologically backwards' or even 'feudal worlds' and if you want to pull from even outside source material, laslocks (ie lasgun muskets) are a 'thing' in the dark heresy lore.
