I like the Bastion if you're going heavy on HINTs.  They're beefy enough that being that heavy on infantry isn't going to see your army just get picked up quickly; HINTs are pretty anemic in melee so the Detachment rule and Blades of Valor are both good buffs for them; Eye giving Precision to all those S5 AP1 D2 shots is going to be scary for most support HQs.  Bring some tanks for anti-vehicle/monster duty.

 

I'm still trying to formulate a list using my Iron Hands for this but half of my potential pool of HINTs are still unbuilt so my theory-crafting is half-hearted at the moment.

Hammer of AverniI has some interesting interactions.  Medusan Roar + Reivers + Assault Terminators - possibly led by Cannok Var (or a generic Termie Captain) and a Termie Ancient (with Steel Font to resurrect Assault Termies).  I don't know I just looked at it a minute ago, Reivers may be overkill depending on how many ways you have of reducing Leadership checks.
