LORD OF WAR

Lots of armour in a low points game don't know whether to sacrifice bodies for nobz or not. Is this at all competative?

IMO you need blob squads to protect your stompa turn one from drop pod sternguard.

If I was to face drop pod stern guard I'd have no problem deploying out of vehicles.

When i run a stompa i also like to put 2 sqauds of 5 lootas w/ 3 meks in each anf a burna squad 3 meks in it. so 9 meks in the stompa, you could effectivly repair 9 HP a turn.

If you deploy outside the BW your probli wont be able to embark in them turn one(get all your models w/ in 2in of the BW). And then you can only move 6 inch if you do embark on the BW. I like to run one squad in a bw and 2 on foot, that just run up the field.

BTW stompas are base 770pts you are over 119 pts

Thanks I was using the wrong stomps rules my bad. Changed the list up so I can actually have the stompa

You have no AA, i dont see this list being competitve.

What about swapping the burnas for lootas?

I'm pretty sure you are only allowed to have ONE unit innside the stompa embarked.
You are not allowed multiply units.. thus why people use the 5man loota squads with 2 lootas 3 mek w/ grot oilers along with the KFF mek.

Yes you can read the Super-Heavy Transport rules as long as you dont exceed the transport limit you can have different units

Also i would out the big mekk in the Stompa if it explodes hes probli gonna die

Nah, under the superheavy transport rules in escalation it says any number of units up to however many models it can carry.

Take a Kustom Stompa if thats still allowed - cheaper, better weapons, more carry capacity... a totally different beast to the vanilla stompa

Well... that only shows how much normal games i play xD
havent played escalation yet.
Time for more mekks! xD

I find it fun to max out the squads that are in the stompa. W/ the Mek tools rules you can just ignore the shaken result, so there is no downfall of using them.

If you have the models, use some gretchin to tarpit your stompa, the are fearless and a cheap sacrifice unit to protect your stompa turn one and a decent unit to hold home objectives once your stompa jumps
