A friend of mine bought this kit when it went for $300 back in 2012 here in Australia. Unfortunately he died before he could get to build it, and I inherited the kit. It's built and painted now, sitting in pride of place on my shelves. He'd be delighted to know it finally has decent stats. Vale Chris.

considering the battle force, I had a feeling the Stompa was finally getting its day

Dude, I preordered the Custodes box at my LGS and I was so expecting the Praetors to be getting a buff, like knock 25-30pts off both the Praetor and the Shield Captain on Jetbike, a new rule, better statline, something and we got nothing. EVERYONE was expecting the Stompa to be a joke, something that Ork players were getting because it's an easy way to fill out the box and it's not gonna be viable competitively but it'll be funny to walk up with your army and be like "Oh yeah, here's my army, and here's a hunk of plastic that saunters up the board." Little did we know, the OPPOSITE was gonna happen. Praetors weren't touched, they didn't even have a detachment that specifically focuses on like advance and charge or anything, whilst the Stompa got benefitted from the new box and codex so well. It's honestly really funny because I was like "well, I'm gonna have a full set of Praetors and Jetbike Captains, so it's gonna be really fun walking up to my LGS and dropping them all on the table, because someones gonna sit there and die laughing as they charge in, kill a bunch of shit, and die to the seven other units that are swarming them with like 10 models each"

The KMB, while nice, is a bit too risky and not quite as general purpose as the rockets.

I remember the stompa mob in 9th edition where you could designate a Stompa as your warlord and you could give it a shield for invulns. There was also a Stompa teleporter stratagem that cost 4 CP so you could deep strike your stompa. But you had to have 3 Lords of War for that detatchment, and of course any kind of refined anti tank would wipe you off the board.

The transport ability lets the stompa poop out a unit (maybe a full grot squad) on an objective turn 1/2. But you can also carry a screening/anti screen unit to save yourself from getting caught up on chaff

@whichDude

3 ай бұрын

What is Stompa going to get caught on as far as chaff units? Most armies will only engage with its melee once it has been weakened enough to be in kill range. Orks, World Eaters, and Custodes are the only armies I can think of that will actively try to charge the Stompa as their main way to focus it.

The melee Strike profile alone is ridiculously dangerous

It needs the fight on death strat from the index detachment. It's essential. In my last game Canis Rex killed me so I fought on death and killed him back. I didnt get my points back but Canis off the board helped big time. If your opponent is great at combat, you basically guarantee their death if they charge you.

question is what do you do with the last 70p? after 2 meks, 2 stompas and 6 grots units.

@quistk2492

enhancements or 3rd mek

A fair amount people picked this up at my local game store, looking forward to orky shenanigans with them appearing in the future

FUN FACT (!!!) With Mek for the +1 to hit and the two stratagems for full to hit rerolls and +1 to wound and +1 damage and sustained hits you could theoretically make up to around 400 (!!!) damage with all weapons in one round. Still a lot of random factors here, but on paper extremely threatening!

Can I just say, love the fact Big was capitalised in big choppa. Also I love the twin Stompa idea, for some reason I thought of Marley and Marley from the muppets Christmas carol

👍👍 I _almost_ want one; it's very close. I feel like I want a couple of kans and deff dreads slightly more though 🤷‍♀️

Probably better to start there. Kans especially will be a good addition to most lists

I'm so fuckin excited to get the Stompa Boyz box and use the stompa. Dread Mob is the perfect detachment for what I love about orks

Biggest problem I have had was the points in previous editions. I quit running it when the blast markers went away, it was always more fun to lay a 7in blast marker down and hit everything under it and you just needed to roll to wound.

Love vids on the big non meta stuff... Any chance of a vid were you compare each armies big titanic, like the stompa/ hierophant and the Tua 800 point titan models.

It fells so Orky to push the buttons and maybe in Turn 3 Waaagh, Advance and shoot, Dakka, Dakka, Dakka and Bigger shells for Bigger Gits for an Titanic unit that goes crazy and deals massive damage to itself.

20:19 NOW DERZ DA BEEG THINKIN' I WAND!!!

Can the Mek repair the Stompa from inside it? Hell, can which models rules work inside transport in general?

The fact there's any positivity for the stompa beings me so much joy. Now my friends might bring it out of the closet :D

Think I’ve had my stompa for maybe 9 years and never used it in a game! Happy that it’s moderately viable now.

Man...I was seriously hoping that the Kustom Stompa would at least get a Legends datasheet

Coincidence they are trying to sell it in the battle force? 😂

It's great to see the Orks become relevant again. And, more importantly, FUN again!

Ah 11th edition where the monolith and stompa will be sent to legends

I still think it's too expensive. You could almost take 2 Gargantuan Squiggoths for the same points.

needs to be around 600 to be even considered, 10th edition big things just suffer with the terrain dense boards, thanks for the upload.

I'm bulking mine out with looted terrain kits. 😉

USA here, its told out

On everything from the Terminator down the +1 to hit from the mek and firing all the guns seems to about equal the the +1 to hit, and also push the button, and only firing the three main ones. And it's not a huge increase vs vehicles, but it is noteworthy. Obviously, the added stratagems push this into absurdity.

Maybe one day a seraptek heavy construct will be good 😢

Can't wait for my knights to get out-shot, out-toughnessed, 1-shot in combat and in general "out-bigged".

did a game the other day and did 60 damage in one melee attack vs model with 24hp artier saves now with this happay days

The unspoken downside to such big models is that the size prevents it from maneuvering on the battlefield due to cluttered terrain. I'd love to throw a Baneblade on the table now and then but the GW obsession with melee over shooting forces these big models to sit at home. If you could play a game with player placed terrain, it might be feasible.

YES, I bought a stompa in my first year of the hobby only for it to get creamed in a fight all the time, but now every boy has his day

You can nearly play a warhound with those points

The Stompa was already scary if used correctly in the WAAAGH! Tribe Index, but Dread Mob turns it into a legitimate monster!

So, I look at this in much the same way I looked at Baneblades; I know they aren't the best, simply by being the biggest, and GW will even make efforts to KEEP it from being too competitive, but it is finally entering a space where, under certain circumstances, it CAN be viable, and I think that's wonderful.😅

I'm planning to use the stompa with 120 boys

They have a new big box to sell with it in. Give it a month till theyve sold enough then theyll send it back to junkyard.
