If you wanted to stick with Guard units couldn't you take Creed for his special order that gives fearlessness and furious charge, take a blob with a few Commissars (2 or 3) and a Priest and use that as a counter attack unit? I tried it once and it almost worked back when I tried it in 5th ed and it gave CC potential since my Guardsmen had str 4 and I 4 although the initiative bonus is gone now, but it still gives the torrent of fire option at range, you just need to charge first and it may be different now but the look on my opponents face at the time was priceless.

The main concern with that is that it's a huge Points investment. It can work, but it's not a "plug 'n' play" option, you need to build the whole Army around it, or you stand a good chance of wasting a lot of Points.
Even without Creed, just taking a blob of 30-50 with a bunch of Power Axes does pretty well.
