Long time lurker, first time poster.

I have a local tournamnet next week and this is the list I'm thinking of taking. I've used a 1500 point varient to some success. Ere we go!!!

1 Warboss w/big shoota, choppa, 3 attack squigs

1 Big Mek  w/ KFF, kustom slugga, super stikkbombz, 3 attack squigs

20 Skarboyz .1 Nob w/ PK, rokkit. 3 rokkits

15 Flashgitz. 1 Nob w/big shoota. 4 big shootas

24 sluggas. 1 Nob w/ PK, rokkit. 3 rokkits

23 sluggas. 1 Nob w/ PK, rokkit. 3 rokkits

18 shootas. 1 Nob w/ PK, big shoota, 2 attack squigs. 3 big shootas

10 Tankbustas. 1 Nob w/ rokkit, 3 attack squigs. 3 rokkits

10 burna boyz. 1 Mek w/ KFF 3 attack squigs. 4 burnas

30 grots. 1 Slaver w/ rokkit, squighound

That's 170 models with 17 rokkits and 30 big shoota shots a turn. i know the army will be slow, but I get off on the look of horror on my oponents faces when I plop down that many models.

Comments/criticism? Let me have it!!!

The Imperial Guard says "Copy Cat!"

Well, lookin' at it now instead of on the field, I'd use Tau to pick them off as they come "sloggin'." Seeing as speed will be an issue for dem orks, I deeply suggest putting out plenty of cover for them to dash behind.
Your opponent will either feint from the sheer amount of enemies or laugh at the amount of targets. Be sure to take out any and all vehicles quickly, as they will be the bane of infantry. Ditto for snipers.

And on a final note: I'd love to play you with my "Imperial Guard" army. No vehicles, all on foot. Special rule is; you don't take away the dead. Tip them over. Let the pile grow!

Wow! You sound just like the 3 pieplate ,heavybolter happy IG player I wiped off the table two weeks ago!

I think the inclusion of the Skarboyz is just silly and just gives a big 'shoot me' target for your army after they kill off your Tankbustas.

Taking 4 Burnas in your Burna boy unit is silly as well. I'm alright with taking the unit just to get the KFF, but don't sink points into weapons that could be better placed somewhere else (such as more Rokkits, Big Shootas or PK Nobs).

You should definitely take ammo runts instead of Attack Squigs in the Tankbusta unit. You likely are only going to get 1-2 rounds of shooting with the unit (if that) so you might as well maximize it's effectiveness.

Lastly, taking Shootas instead of Sluggas only saves you 18 points in the army but it makes an entire unit that the enemy doesn't have to fear the same way in CC. It further segregates the army into units the enemy needs to worry about in CC or not. Instead, make the unit into Sluggas so your enemy has even more units to worry about hitting them in CC.
