Hi, long time reader, first time poster.

I'm having a friendly 2 vs 2 game , my Orks and an Imperial Guard player vs Choas Demons and Chaos Space Marines.

I have recently had a stompa for my birthday so was looking to use that. I know the imperial guard player is wanting to use a baneblade as well and has gone for a tank army for lol's.

This is the list I thought of but could do with some advise.

Big Mek
Megaarmour
Kustom Force Field

Painboy

TROOPS

23 shoota Boys

HEAVY

5 lootas
(one upgrades to a Mek)


FAST

Skorcha

LORD OF WAR

Stompa

PTS - 1502 (which is fine as my partner is 2 pts under)

My idea is the Big Mek, 3 Meks and Lootas go in the Stompa, with the two units of shootas, each with a painboy near the stompa to get the fearless. The two Skorchas will outflank.

Any opinions?

Should I bother taking the boys as shoots or just leave them as sluggas and spend those points somewhere else.

Consider keeping the KFF behind the stompa rather than in it so he can still buff adjacent models AS WELL AS the stompa. But then of course he won't be able to keep up unless he runs and then hell need to be in 'eavy armor rather than MA. Since the Boyz are footy they need to run too, IMO. No time to shoot. Therefore sluggas. So that's 46 points there. Plus some with the mega armored KFF. 86ish? Find 4 more points and that a full battery of Lobbas!

Add to AM = in your face choppy + backfield armored parking lot. That'll be formidable. Concentrate on their heldrakes or FMCs. In fact, maxing Traktor cannons maybe better than Lobbas for you. That's NASTY.

Yeah. Drop scorchas too. To max out your tractors. Get that fate weaver ON THE GROUND and tie him up with the Boyz.
