Picked up this (See pics below) giant Dino Trux TyRex at Goodwill. I don't have an Ork army but I'm considering building it into an Ork vehicle just for kicks.

Rules-wise, this would be more of a mental exercise, but where would it fit in the Orc hierarchy and army list. I feel like maybe it's too big for a Stompa, but too small for a Gargant Maybe a Supa-Stompa or one of the more obscure versions? Are there game rules for anything bigger than a standard Stompa? It's got a good place between the treads to mount a large weapon, but that might be more of a Gargant thing.

The dimensions at the base are 8" Wide x 10" Deep. It's 11-12 Inches tall depending on positioning of the head/neck.

The possibility exists to shorten the neck a bit to make it shorter and more compact. Interestingly it has 4 compartments (one at the front and back over each tread) behind black doors where figures can be placed.

Thoughts on armament appreciated as well. The logical place is along the neck in place of arms but they could be on the sides of the Hull as well.

Opening crew compartments?
Biting jaws on posable knock?
A wrecking ball tail?

Clearly it's some sort of transport (truck/wagon/etc) with a grabbing claw &/or wrecking ball.

Looks like a kustom Stompa to me, with two close combat weapons. Add turrets with the other guns, and you've a 20-transport CC monster to throw at the enemy!

I like the sound of that. I might actually be able to fit 20 Orks in the 4 compartments.

Do stats exist for a Kustom Stomps?

It's on Battlescribe, I believe it will be in one of the Imperial Armour update book thingys!

Thanks!
Now to decide whether to go that route or first arm it like a standard Stompa. Good to know the option exists either way.

Something is getting in my blood. I just bought some orks ....
