Bla bla bla, I haven't played/painted/modelled since 40k 2nd Ed, only started again this year so excuse my ignorance bla bla bla.

So now that is out of the way, just in case I look like an idiot for asking, but what is this?

I assume its some type of Garnett. When I first saw one earlier this year I thought it was scratch built and had planed to eventually make one, but now I have seen two. So where can I get one? It probably costs more then my pockets can handle but I would like to know anyway. Oh and how tall are they? it still looks like a fun model to scratch build.

Oops forgot the picture

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it is an Ork Stompa'. I can't find that exact model for you, though.

Its an Ork Stompa and it looks like a homemade brew constructed from a toy of some sort.

I think it's a scratch built Ork Stompa which is only for use in apoc games.

If you want to get one without scratch building buy one from GW

I apologise to anyone who interacted with me around 2009-2012.

That would be the Armorcast Gargant. Looong out of production. You see them pop up on eBay from time to time. Expect to pay (at least) several hundred dollars for one.


Edit: 'Great' Gargant, in fact. As shown here.

Insaniak's pegged it, its a Great Gargant from armourcast (back when they did exact scale ups of Epic miniatures).

Here's a (small) pic of it in bare resin:

Thanks for that insaniak I didn't think it was a stompa. None on eBay at the mo, well a 9" one but I assume thats epic scale no way is this thing 9". $200 starting price so a 40k scale one is likely going to cost far to much, maybe I will get lucky at a car boot sale, who knows?

Oh well, might try and scratch build one later in the year, looks fun.

Like insaniak said Armorcast great gargant with some minor modification. They are pretty big, almost 2 ft tall.

The 9 inch one on eBay is actually the old Armourcast stompa model rather then a gargant.

Last Great Gargant I saw on eBay went for US$1250

I got mine for 275$ in 1998.

I see one of these pop up on ebay every 6-8 months, Sometimes it is the same one being turned over. I don't think I have seen it counterfeited yet like some of the old baneblades and epicast stompas.

I haven't seen one go for less than 1000$ in the past 5 years, it is a ton of resin and a reasonably rare piece.

Just for the record, there were 313 Armorcast Great Gargants made.

That's based on epic designs where stompa wasn't titan level stuff but rather basically walking land raider. Always annoyed me how they changed naming convention there. Especially as they already had name for mini-titan so why rename it to stompa thus removing potential for REAL stompa.

Ironically morkanaut/gorkanaut are more what stompa SHOULD be.
