I have a 2 day escalation tournament coming up, and could use some input on the list I've put together. I have to use everything I use in day one, on day 2. No changes are allowed, only additions to the army. I can add or beef up units, but not take way or move anything. First day the limit is 1250, the second day is 1850. So anyway, here are my thoughts...

I'm not sure about this list. Nothing stands out as really dangerous to me. It looks like a lot of little pieces that can be picked off one at a time.

I really don't like the meganobs walking in the 1200 point list. I would rather have them in the trukk and the boyz walking. This way if you face a knight or something hard you can get stuff to it quick to kill it because at 1850 you will see something big that needs to die.
I'm not really a fan of headwhoppa killchoppa I would rather have a luckystikk and a boss in mega armor is way more usefull. He can tank wounds like crazy.

Also if you have the big mek in mega with a KFF for the lootas why the regular mek? Drop him for another loota. I still don't think this is a good use of a big mek in mega just to have the lootas move and shoot.

I would look at redoing your list thinking about what you face and adjust from there. You may want to consider a formation or something to take. Good luck at the tournament.
