We played a game a while back, I was the last remaining Xeno player, and it took the enemy 3 rounds of concetrated fire/assault power to get through me, and this is why.

Dredd mob, with 12 Killa kans, surrounding 4 Deff dreads, middle one had the force field, flanked on each side by a Kustom Stompa both of which carried a Big mek with KFF inside. My army was around 3500 points but i took out of 9000 myself, thanks to no titans, my biggest threats were baneblades, which my stompas tore apart. The KK destroyed the infantry while the Deff dreads ripped apart anyone gewtting close. The entire group had a 4+ cover save, it was a beautiful thing. Next time, i want to run 4 Stompas with Big meks with force fields surrounded by killa kans and one Big dread to have a forcefield, so they can spread out a bit more. Everyone saw me placing them and thought, eh, they are just walkers, they can be destroyed easily enough. Unlike the shields on titans and such, mine cant be destroyed, my 4+ cover save is absolute I urge you other ork players to try this out, I had so much fun, laughing as lascannons and such were almost useless, the stompas blocked a ton of LOS drawing fire <plus those too scared to shoot the Kans> I captured my starting table by turn 2, and even made it about 3 feet into the center table, at turn 5, but by then i was all alone, hehe

MUST TRY O_O

Sounds awesome. Do you have pics?

I might be able to get some, I'll try

Watch out for S D weapons, they ignore cover and automatically penetrate. A single warhound with two double-turbo lasers will blast your army appart.

Perhaps, but you are still talking about a super heavy that can take some shots, and has a few destroyers of its own, a kustom Stompa can is also one of VERY FEW Super heavies that can actually repair structure points and broken weapons. To be real evil, grab a small unit of lootas, with 3 meks inside, with the big mek, you can in theory fix 4 weapons per round and the repair krew could fix a structure point, true it relies a bit on luck, but hey, everything in this game does, if yer titan rolled nothing but ones, it could be destroyed pretty easily

Sounds awesome. I once faced a single stompa, but we took it out with a single vortex grenade. It did have impressive firepower, though.

? How'd ya pull that off? Don't have my book but dont they have 3-4 structural points? Unless you rolled a 5 or 6 on your d6, no way it should have died, pretty unlucky if that happened. You know not to remove super heavies from the board directly right? Things that "remove models" instead do only d3 structural points of damage to them.
