Rumoured to have some sort of grot meatshield, teleport up to 20PL, vehicle charges 3d6 and mortals if succesful. That's all I know so far. No idea CP's or exact rules though so for example can you teleport vehicles or is it one unit or multiple units etc no idea.

Look through the thread, you'll find them.

E - have you tried p53, as the title?

They are in the video in the 1st post.

I’d look at painting different sections of the stomp a in different camouflage schemes. Or take a leave out of the BAOR book and paint whole panels in alternating black, white and grey. That would ease the strain. Or, off the wall, paint it as an Imperium hab-blok, complete with citizens .

My issue with large bloodaxe models has always been that camouflage is basically adding another two or three layers of paint, almost doubling the time to get the base color on your model. If I ware to start again, I'd probably start with deff skulls. Paint everything blue, highlight some details with red or white, wash, done.

Painting stompa in blood axe is least of my problems. I have my cadians in camoflage and orks are less strict on camoflage. It doesn't have to be digital camoflage. I would approach it more like I do with warpaint of deth skulls. Except this time with airbrush rather than paint brush.

i have yet to paint my stompa (im thinking of ripping it apart and customizing it more, i assembled it like the instructions told me and then i felt really bad about that, it needs to be special).

anyway, great way to start with a camo is to buy the right type of base coat of primer. dont rely too much on GW overpriced spray paints, i have found many spray base coats (make sure its primer and not gloss) from hardware stores for good prices and look great. have the base coat be the base of your camo (im a fan of anything that is close to desert camo).

also, if you want to do a blodaxe stompa then consider some unique opportunities for customization.
bludaxes arnt only known for facepaint but also stuff they wear for better concealment. a bludaxe will see a stompa and think "whats as big as da stompa so that we can disguise it like dat?"

imperial buildings= buy any imperial terrain and literary glue it to the stompa and presto, the imperium would never suspect a giant moving building.

imperial knight(more expensive)= add the knights shoulderpads, and then have the carapace and head as a helmet for the stompa, it will fit right in with the rest of the current imp knight spam,they'll never see it coming.

stompa=what would be the last thing the imperials wont think a stompa would be disguised as? another stompa. at 1st they will be like "oh, its just another stompa" and then the stompa sheds its stompa esque coverage and reveals its true nature as a bludaxe stompa.

its hard to custimize every single orc boy to have ghili suits or are coming out of garbage cans, but for those big expensive models we should be more willing to give them our own personal flare, especially is its a bludaxe stompa.

Well, I took the "colorful camouflage" part to an extreme - every mob, every nob and every vehicle has a different style of camouflage.

For example my nob bikers have a different color of camouflage each, the pain boy has white/grey/red the warbos black/grey, etc.

The most awesome part? The painted camouflage really messes with camera software, it's really difficult to get a clear picture of any of my models

There's a stratagem that lets orks keep 20 power level off the board and deepstrike in anywhere on the board more than 9" away from the enemy.
Green tide stratagem, Take a boyz unit under half strength and set it up wholly within 6" of table and more than 9" away from the enemy (Don't know if it also replenishes the unit ála tide of traitors)
Grot shield stratagem, when suffering a wound on a 2+ a grot unit within 3" suffers a wound instead. Grots have to be closer to the firing unit
Ramming speed stratagem, ork vehicles can charge 3d6" and does mortal wounds when it successfully charges
Long uncrontrolled bursts stratagem, add +1 for flyers against other flyers
Looted stratagem, ork infantry units gain +1 Save when a vehicle is destroyed near them.
Get stuck in stratagem, ork infantry can pile in and fight again in CC


Nothing on how many CP they are, any restrictions (ex is the teleport one only 1 unit? Infantry only? etc), or anything about clan specific. Or if they are even real for that matter

I really like this idea.

Theoretically most older style camouflage schemes should scale-up with the model, and therefore not be that difficult. So if it were to have a tiger stripe looking pattern a Stompa wouldn't have a zillion tiny stripes but rather a few really big ones. On the other hand I could easily see orks not using camouflage in a way that makes any sort of sense to humans.

Thanks for the info.

Looking forward to deepstriking 2 units of speedfreak meganobz. 66% for a charge after ds is no joke.

Oh, and than 1+ armored meganobz! They might even become worthwhile.

What would +1 armor even do for MANz?

-1 ap useless, 4+ save vs lascannon and short of -6 weapon always gets save.

Problem being getting that vehicle destroyed close before being shot.

Because save modifiers are cumulative a +1 save would mitigate -1 ap weapons. and give them a fighting chance. Edit: I realized I commented on yours instead of the 1 you were commenting on but yeah this reinforces your point.

I saw a leak of compilation on blood of kittens dude have a look there

With the bloodaxe trait they could even go to 0+ - just take 3+ saves against lascannons

Where's my leaky taps at? It feels like it's been half a month since the last leak

That site looks unusable to me. Can't find anything related cor current Ork rumors at all. aside from a mention of "new vehicles".

Edit. Never mind. the layout of the site is what my problem was. found it. Apparently using the rumors and leaks tab was not where I needed to look.

Edit. I thought all of that was already in the first few pages of this thread. Maybe I'm thinking of another forum.

All of this information is in the OP. Literally in the first post. I've linked to videos that were the source and in the case of older news provided a summary.

i suspect they hadn't planned for ork teasers till this month, but early leaks (assuming they weren't intended by GW) forced them to give us early looks (the constant reminders from the facebook team being hounded by ork players probably also helped ). and now that we have the leaks we got then we are in a lull of news until late sept /early oct.

I guess we are just a step away from everyone going bat-gak crazy about how GW hates orks again.

Nah, lets save that until we see what they did with our codex. If it is atrocious again then we have issues.

Played by the leaked rules. Won a tourney.

Well done!

Can I ask for some more details?

I assume by 'leaked rules' you mean DDD and the clan trait.

Which clan(s) did you use? What was your list like?

How large and competitive was the tourney?

What kind of level do you usually play at? Do you expect to win tourneys of this kind given a reasonably strong codex?

Do you feel the new rules contributed significantly to your win?

I'm pretty cool with whatnhas been posted. Only 2 things right now that will tell me whether i love or hate the codex.

1. Points. If points too high then all our fancy new stuff is screwed.

2. Stompa. If gw can't figure out how to fix the stompa after their knights codex then i will be sad.

hoping so on the first part of points

not holding my breath on the gettign the stompa right. its the orks x10 it has crazy possible performance that it simply does not live up to barring hot dice. On the business front barring a enw stompa kit I and it including an upgrade spru and leaving current ones a trash then I cannot see GW deciding to make such an old model powerful. I am guessing normal stompa midtier at best, probably still overpriced trash tier.

I'm pretty optimistic that they'll make the Stompa a lot better. Maybe not good enough to be a competitive choice for tournaments, but not nearly as awful as it is now.

I doubt it will be as good as Imperial Knights because IK have their own codex. A big part of what makes IK good is their stratagems, relics, warlord traits, etc. Stompas might work well with a few ork stratagems, but without their own book I doubt a Stompa-focused army will be as good as an IK army.

Here's hoping for a Dread Mob book! I won't be angry if we don't get one, but it would be cool.

Well the 3d6" charge with vehicles could be interesting. With evil sunz colours that's 14"+3d6" threat range with rerolls. Albeit unsure if that allows even attempting charge outside 12"(if not opponent can deploy 2.1" behind DZ and be bulletproof)

Stompa Boss would be fun - one who can get out when his ride gets smashed like the Knight character :}
