I've got a game coming up against Astra Militarum, with the stipulation that at least 700 points must be infantry. My opponent likes tanks, so I know that the other 300 points of his army is likely to be tanks. I've got two main options at the moment, but would appreciate suggestions. My army doesn't need to be super competitive, but I'd like it to stand a chance while still being fun to play.
Option 1: Ghazghkull + as many boys as I can fit in, possibly with Makari for his buffs.
Option 2: A bit more fun and varied to play...

I know that the ork flyers are not too great, but I have one waiting to be built and it would be nice to get it to the table. The warboss and tankbustas go in the trukk, the weirdboy buffs and da jumps the big ork block, the other orks (boyz + burnas) slog up the field.
All suggestions welcome.
