I ran a similar army to deal with an opponent who had a 170 odd man army of IG. two platoons of conscripts, a couple of tanks and a bunch of troops. I had +80 SM (in 1500 pts, mind) and it was a real blood bath. I managed to knock out both tanks early on thanks to my tank hunter elites, and after that it was trading bolter shots for lasgun shots. lots of lasgun shots. I think that a ton of SM is an answer to horde armies. Depending on terrain, it can be really a surprise. I played this army against a speed freek army and I out numbered them. I shot them to pieces.
