Yeah...the problem is that for the points you're paying your shooting is ridiculously anemic for a super heavy, you may as well take equivalent KMK/tankbustas for the same points and have a vastly stronger army, partly because its not all on one shootable platform. Similarly, CC wise it's practically the equivalent of a Gorkanaut's output, which for its price is ridiculous. It needs an entire overhaul and price cut before it goes into anywhere near the optimal range.

For the same price as 1 stompa you can take 23 KMK Mek Gunz which put out 80-81 S8 AP-3 D3 damage shots a turn on average and have a grand total of 138 wounds on the KMKs and 115 wounds on the Grotz.

And keep in mind that the crew and the Gun are separate entities once deployed so you have 46 units compared to 1 for the Stompa, so overkill will happen.

If I had the money/time and complete lack of conscious, I would field an Ork Army of 90 Boyz, a couple big mekz and 30 KMK Mek gunz

23 KMK's! But would it work? I think this is worth looking into. KMK's to the Max with as many boys in big mobs as possible. Heck. If I proxy I'm over half way there!

23 kmk would deal around 44.7 wounds to t7 3+. That's not that bad. Sure, it's not gona be great vs -1 to-hit. KMK are not that hard to kill though.

better than a stompa though....
