Can't really give you any advice without knowing what's in the platoons. Do you have any idea of a theme? What points value are you looking to get to? Is there anything in particular you want to include?

Right now my platoons are full of heavy bolters and grenade launchers. Looking to get around 2000 points and I want a force that can take on most threats.

Your Armour is where IG shine. Expensive yes, but with the cheapness of your troops you can afford 3 Basilisks and 3 Leman Russes (up to you which varients you want) And still have plenty of men.
Callums 2k list has 3 Chimeras, 2 Vendettas, 2 Leman Russ Battle Tanks as a squadron, 1 Leman Russ Executioner,a Hellhound and 3 Basilisks. Thats 5 Large Blasts a turn. 5 Small Blasts a turn, a Flamestorm Cannon and if you are close enough, 7 Heavy Flamer templates.
Ballistic Skill?
Who needs it?

Tanks are good but if you can afford the cash outlay I'd be tempted to go for as many heavy weapon teams as you can backed up by as much infantry as you can. Your opponent should weep openly when he sees how many dice you'll be rolling in a turn. Of course the downside is that it will probably take you half the evening to set it all up...
