I am trying to wrap my head around making a stompa list--trying to use it to kill as much stuff as possible while still letting me run a bike mob army. Here is what my friend and I thought up after I faced his daemonic incursion list:

CAD1:
No Slot:
2 mek 30
HQ:
Zadsnark 150
painboy, bike 75
Troops:
10 bikers,nob,big choppa 105
5 bikers,nob,klaw 125
Heavy:
5 lootas(2 meks) 70
Lord of War:
kustom stompa, deff arsenal, 2 bursta kannon arms, supa lobba in hull, d6 power fields 700
CAD2:
No Slot:
2 mek 30
HQ:
Big Mek, kff 85
Warboss,lucky stikk,warbike,klaw,bosspole 140
Troops:
5 bikers,nob,klaw 105
5 bikers,nob,klaw 105

I feel like I may have overdone its weapons and number of meks--what do most people consider to be the best bang for your buck on kitting out a stompa? I am not sure how I feel about klaws on the small bike units either; they are wasted points if the unit is camping an objective or running away and the nob can be chumped in most challenges.

Seems kind of bad with only 5 units moving around though. If I drop the bikers to min size and cut a bursta kannon and 15 point meks I could bring 2 trukks of tankbustas or something.

Thanks to oldzoggy for recently pointing out to meto the kustom stompa from IA 8. It has better weapon options than Buzzgob's stompa from dred mob.

I think 10 bikers + nob+bigchoppa are more expensive than 5 bikers with nob and claw

i already posted it on your other thread... but just for people who will just look at this thread.

you can get an apocalypse big mek stompa stompa for 400p

use buzzgob from the ork dread mob list

EDIT:

oh i would give a big mek a thinking cap (extra trait) and make him your warlord. he'll be save inside the stompa and you dont need the waagh rule anyway

I tested with the Buzzgob stompa in Vassal yesterday--it didn't do very much except in close combat since the lifta and gaze missed every time (1 shots only). The deff kannon was cool but a bursta kannon would deal more wounds.The lifta droppa is also useless vs armies with no vehicles as it cannot target monstrous creatures. I had some tankbustas inside as well which amounts to an extra 130 points tacked to the stompa, not including the force field mek that will go in either one.

I get that buzzgob's stompa is way cheaper but the weapons I can give the kustom stompa are amazing. 2 7" D ap2 ordnance blasts at range 36, 3d6 range 120 s9 ap3 missiles, d3 infinite range s8 ap3 large blasts, and a range 48 s7 ap4 7" blast with barrage and ordnance.

The 10 biker unit is for my 3 HQs on bikes to join to take out medium threats. I meant to drop the 5 man squads down to 3 and cut nobs to save 213 points which could allow me to get a second 10 man with big choppa mob.

Also I found the datasheets for it to verify that battlescribe was legit.
