Well, you can play unbound, but as is, it's not a lot to really punch people with

Yeah, Basilisk is a good idea; they've done fairly well for me, especially since I tend to roll a lot of hits on the scatter die. Most recently, my opponent told me that they were annoying. I take that as a compliment.
Don't know how you play, but I love me some Leman Russes; there's one for just about any role you need to fill (my favorites are the Demolisher and Punisher), except anti air...
There are cardstock templates for a lot of IG vehicles out there if you don't have a lot of money, and I personally use them with plasticard (sheet styrene).
Perhaps you could borrow some minis from another Imperial Guard Astra Militarium player and try them out in a game or three to see how you like them before you sink money and/or time into obtaining those models.

That's at the very least 590 pts (CCS + 2x PCS + 4x infantry squad + 2x heavy weapons squad + 2x special weapons squad + 2x minimal conscript platoon, all without any upgrades) and means 119 men at the very least before looking at vehicles and allies. How many points are you aiming for? Do you have any theme in particular you want to run with? Certain characters or upgrades you want to feature?

I'd focus on something smaller first, like 750 or 1000 pts and work yourself a way out from there.

You may want to focus on getting that HQ and two troops done first then.

You may want to focus on getting that HQ and two troops done first then. my HQ is pretty much done, only need some paint. Platoons need some work, only got 20 conscripts so far. also i'm not planning on using the normal 40k IG mini's for my army. ninja

After that though, once you have your HQ and part of a single troops choice, what then?
