Hello everyone! This is my first post and ive been thinking about this for a while now and ive seen the digga stompa in the Bell Of Lost Souls Lord Of Battle supplement and i really like the idea but i think the rules are a tad bit outdated but i really like the idea so i looked around and found out about the White Dwarf custom vehicle calculator rules and decided i would make up a few rules for it.

WS:4 BS:2 S:10 F13 S:11 R:10 I:2 A:3 HP:4 Type: Walker Cost: 175

Wargear: Kannon, Dreadnought CC Weapon, Big Shoota

May Replace Its Its Kannon With
-Zzap gun..+5PTS
May Replace Its Its Big Shoota With
-Kustom Mega Blasta..FREE
-Rokkit Launcha...........FREE
A Digga Stompa may take
Grot Riggers..20PTS
Extra Armour..10PTS

Please tell me what you think and if this is fair some of it is pulled from point costs in the ork 7th edition codex thanks alot!
The tool i used for the basic profile: http://www.ageofstrife.com/tools/vdr/index.html

Whats it doing that you don't already get from other sources in the codex?

If you take a look at Mega or Meka dreads they're pretty similar and have the advantage of being 'legit' rules.

However they would be a pain in the rear to scratch build and they are stupid expensive money wise but you raise a strong point however this could be considered a cheaper alternative version so to speak something you could use that would be easier to scratch build and may look better depending on your view.

Just make whatever it is you want to make as a "Digga Stompa" and call it a counts-as mega dread?

It's awfully expensive for what it brings to the table, considering it's just a Kannon, Big Shoota and DCCW. Yes, it's rather tough but it doesn't bring much in terms of offensive power

I can't speak for all Ork players, but I don't see why I'd take this over a mega dread.

It's the same points cost for less side and rear armour, less initial weaponry, less options for additional weaponry, and no invulnerable save, or supercharger. It's just objectively worse.

Diggas don't get enough love, but I don't really like this one. It doesn't really have anything a regular 'ol Stompa can do- or a Mega Dread can do, for that matter.

The rules you found are severely outdated. Try using the ones in my SIG below
