Hi Cik: I don't have much more time to comment on for now but a quick look at your list leads me to think that you only have 5 formations on the table? That's a very low amount for 2.5k; I would suggest that the spacecraft is a waste of points and that you should concentrate on having a larger number of smaller formations...with the models in that list I'd suggest something like:
Incompertus, 1505 POINTS
Ghazgkhull Thraka's War Horde (Epic UK v100909)
==================================================
WARBAND [315]
2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, Battlefortress
WARBAND [315]
2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, Battlefortress
MEKBOY STOMPAMOB [475]
3 Stompa, Supa Stompa
STORMBOYZ WARHORDE [150]
6 Commandos
WARBAND [250]
2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 2 Killa Kan
LANDA [200]
================================
That gives you another 795pts to spend on stuff like blitz brigades with oddboyz and flakwagons, and maybe another warband with a zzap gun in it to sit on and protect an objective. Consider:
WARBAND [275]
2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, Big Gun, Oddboy (Zzap Gun)
BLITZ BRIGADE (BIG) [350]
2 Oddboy (soopa guns), 4 Flakwagon, 4 Gunwagon
BLITZ BRIGADE [200]
2 Flakwagon, 2 Gunwagon, Oddboy (zzap Gun)
Which would take you up to 2530pts so you'd have to save 30pts somewhere but perhaps you could change the boyz mob with zzap gun into a mekboy gunz mob instead and spend the spare pts upgrading other formations. THat gives you 9 activations over his 7 so if you're careful you can save your hard hitting weapons till last.
is it wise to have so many easily breakable formations? it feels impolite to ask considering you are giving advice, but it always seemed to me that bigger was better, because mob rule makes them silly difficult to break. does having more activations override this problem?
this list for instance, feels decent to me. though it's significantly overpoints for 2.5k, we can play up to 5k~ or so anyway, so it's just a representation of what i'm thinking. thoughts?
WARBAND ('UGE) [950]
6 Nobz, 18 Boyz, 6 Grotz, 6 Stompa, Warlord
LANDA [200]
WARBAND [410]
2 Nobz, 6 Boyz, 2 Grotz, 6 Dreadnought
FIGHTA SQUADRON [300]
6 Fighta Bomba
