I'm a-thinkin' that against Orks, yer gonna get shredded by his
larger detachments. None of the detachments that you have are real
powerful in the FP department, although Assault values are reasonable
(for Imperials). I'm presuming Dets 2 thru 5 are Objective-grabbers
while the other two are for longer range support ?

A standard (4' x 8') table will allow a lot of room for maneuvering,
but I think the Kults will out-do you there.

Given that, you may want to try 150pts of aircraft to at least slow
him down with blast markers and force him to react to your moves by
worrying about who you're going to hit and when.

Good luck destroying his Gargant ! He's gonna take one for 1000 pts.

Other than that, good flexibility, decent FP and Assault when it's
all added up.

Good luck and may the Grace of the Emperor be with you.
