Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays! Also, welcome!

Generally, mounts aren't used in the Hive. In the future, when you post a list, can please include the points total?
 
Boss - storm-walker skill for +2 move on 'battlefield surface' with web pistol, blast pistol and mono claw.
Ganger x 5 - blast carbine, blast pistol, long blade.

5 identical gangers plus boss is only 6 models but everyone can fight a little bit and shoot a little bit. The blast carbine is fugging awesome with +2 to hit inside of 10". I'm not sure if you can get the telescopic sight at creation but I like the idea. 7" move plus web template is very very good in my experience. Infiltrate on the boss is an option but when I've tried that my boss has ended up being isolated and taken out early on, and even though he did some damage it didn't feel like a worthwhile trade. Campaign wise it might be foolish to risk your most expensive piece in this way. If you're doing an ash wastes campaign you'll definitely need a charge caster or heavy blaster to deal with vehicles cos Rockgrinders and ridgehaulers are incredibly difficult to kill.
I enjoyed playing this list because its flexible and fun. Add grenades and fancy champions later on in campaign. Technically it's OK to take bug riders into the underhive but the models are huge and difficult to both manoeuvre and hide in cover. I don't rate the long rifle highly myself - I feel like you have to play on a huge table to avoid the short range -1 to hit. Long Las is better for sector mechanicus or zone mortalis games in my mind, but you'd have to pick that up from the trading post. Chain lance is very good but nothing in the nomads list is equal to the H2H monsters that other gangs have (think nacht-ghul, death maiden or stimmer) so consider adding the duneskuttler for some real heavy hitting melee. Its very difficult to work out what the nomads do better than other gangs but they are flexible to any scenario and can use some unusual tricks that other gangs don't get access to like the staff that can change visibility distance.
