I have been thinking of making some datasheets for stompas, ones that have more upgrades. You see I like the liber apocalyptia: stompas that I have read in one of the white dwarfs, they look as though they could be fun to convert, but I think it is missing something.
What I was thinking was the basic model will be pretty mutch a normal stompa, but then you can upgrade it to different "classes" like big mek, loota (with looted weapons, and deff arsenal (see WD 351), runtherd (with squigs to be unleashed upon the foe), goff rock an rolla (see WD). And then the "classes" can have some nice upgrades like a belly gun (normal stompa), kff, shock attack battery (mek), autocannons, lascannons(looted), squigoths (not gargantuan, for runtherds).
I will write a stub for the datasheet sometime today. Any ideas?

dual saws? mad doc stompa?
Deftkopta launch rails? airkraft carryer stompa?
suicide stompa? Just explodes itself after certain number of turns.

IA 8(the orky one) already has the rules for making custom stompas.

You should check it out.

What's IA 8, I can't find it on the net.

That would be the forge world book Imperial armour 8. It has a great section on Kustom Stompas, start with a basic Stompa body and add weapons from a very long list.

I'm a fan of the Klawstompa in the book, if memory serves me well, you get about 12 close combat destroyer attacks, and can throw wrecked vehicles halfway across the board!

Yep, very useful book that one. Kustom Stompas are evil.

7 CC attacks, not including the charge

According to IA8, a Stompa gets 4 attacks before buying options, two Titan close combat weapons give +3 attacks each, and having two Titan close combat weapons makes it a klawstompa giving it a further +3 attacks as well as the 'klawfrenzy' special rule.

Unless I'm reading things completely wrong, which is a possibility.
