Runtherdz for big guns are useful.
The nob bikers are troops.

The ork list looks fairly good, I would go even heavier with the lootas and kannons.

Not sure on big choppas for nobs, it doesn't feel right, whilst I want them klaw apart power armour.

Thanks MFletch,

I'm taking your advice to heart. I think my biggest question is how to effectively add in more big guns and lootas- sacrificing boyz or nobz?

I went ahead and reduced the existing Troop choices significantly in order to amp up the other two areas. Here's how it's looking now:

HEAD QUARTERS
Warboss, 150

Big Mek, Kustom Force Field, 85

I removed one 20-man boyz mob, took out the Nob leaders with the big choppas, and up'd the remaining two mobs to 25. I also added in another three-set of kannons and 5 more lootas, splitting them into a squad of 8 and 7. I'm not sure I want to do anything to the nobz because I want to ensure their effectiveness, so that's all of the changes I have for now. Does this look like a stronger list?

In regards to the Imperial Guard list, I feel it is fairly effective (I realize the sentinels and hellhound are probably debatable, but it would be nice to have something interesting to throw in).
