Subject: 1000 pt grot horde - will it work?

Just thinkin about how cool a mass grot spam would be in a 1000 pt game, and came up with this list:
HQ
Big mek w/ shokk attack gun + 'eavy armor - 100
Troops
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
30 grots, 3 runtherds - 120
Heavy Support
Big gunz w/ 3 kannons - 60
Big gunz w/ 3 kannons - 60
Big gunz w/ 3 kannons - 60
Total: 1000 pts
The idea is to simply have the grots in a wall that gives everything behind a 4+ cover save. If they shoot at the grots, who cares. There are enough to survive a battle of attrition that the enemy can not survive (hopefully) without taking more losses.

Keep in mind that Killer Kans are grot-crewed too. In addition to being a decent choice, they're fluffy.
180 targets (all scoring) at 1000 points is pretty good.

Its just too many models to kill! For that many points its difficult to win against.

Mattieu~~~~ It's not that eldar are bad, it's that they require a lot of intergration between units. Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

To make it really nasty, make the Mek have a KFF.
Cover saves for a reasonable percentage of the 180 models? Yes, please!

You want to really have some fun, take Mad Doc grotsnik. Then give them all cybork bodies (5+ invuln save).
I have a 2500 point list with 160 CybOrk gretchen, 9 killl kans, and some nobs for fun. I will take forever for that force to die.

The problem you will have is getting wiped out in CC. Even a fairly meh CC unit will be able to take those grots apart fairly quickly, not to mention combat resolution casualties. Though with 6 units of them, you will have less to worry about  Panic runs a Grot army with lots of Kans in it which is actually pretty cool (and well modeled too ).

Sorry for the low-level necro but does it look something like this? Doc Optimal’s Grotbots: 2500 Point Footslog/Kanwall HQ 1-2: 295 Points Mad Doc (160) Big Mek (135) Cybork KFF Klaw Attack Squig Oiler Grot Troops 1-6: 285*6 Points 30 Grotbots 3 Cybherds Heavy 1-3: 165*3 Points 3 Kans 3 KMB The Doc joins a grot mob and charges like mad while the Mek joins another grot mob and KFF's the kans (and some of the grots) during the approach. It isn't a tourney list to be sure, but it's certainly fun.

I'd max-out the Killa Kanz and attach one Kanz squadron to a Grot mob for protecting the Grotz.

I like the list idea. For competitivity (is that a word?) and to maximize points usage you could get some more stuff (not really sure what) if you dropped 1 grot and 1 runtherder from each squad.
The problem with this type of list is that it starts to burn and die at anything over 1500 pts as you've already maxed out on grotz at 1000 pts so you can't keep up the ridiculous ratio.
