Okay, that's an exaggeration. I like to work in proportions, and I don't have a lot of time to scratch build stuff. So it looks like I will have to hurry my arse up and get at least a Skullhamma to warrant a Stompa. And in order to feel comfortable with that, I'll need two or three battlewagons. And with those, I'll want a lot of looted wagons, which will mean more trukks! And then to balance my walkers I'll need at least two more deffdreds, which will mean six more kanz so that I have appropriate ratios...
I currently have three trukks, one looted wagon, one deffdred, and three kans. Not to mention I only have around 125 regular boyz! I need to apocalyze quick!

I need pictures of the model to believe it i'm afraid.
It does sound like a lot of fun though. : )

They have already given us pictures of the model. Apocalypse Reloaded is very clear- the pictures of the multiple stompas, when compared with other pics, show that more than one stompa had the exact same chest patterns, as well as other telling pieces that are the duplicates.
I always find it ironic at how dubious GW players can be, especially when the company has outrightly shown you the material to begin with.

Its supposedly been delayed so much because they kept on re-doing the kit from the ground up in order to get it right. (which probably means that it may be a larger investment than the baneblade was)
Also a Forge-world flunkie accidently let slip at GDUK that there will be resin conversion kits for the stompa, Ill wait to see those before I get my stompa. Here is to having the greatest cardboard box of Bits that GW has ever produced

Now I don't know if I should buy some super heavy for my IG or start collecting some more orcs. The Stompa looks so cool. :-D

I think you should still get 20 Stompaz Miami, whether you buy them or make them. It's would look awesome setting them up on the battlefield.
Hmmm, that setup is just too tempting.

Oh dear. I'm a big ork fan, but stompas look aweful. They could be so cool if they looked like patched up titans, or even like huge mechanical soul-grinders, but rusty Mr Potato Heads? really?
Misplaced.

Hey, some of my favorite stompas are rusty Mr. Potatoheads ;)
Well, yeah, that one is great because it still retains the identity of the original model, but the builds they did for the apocalypse book look absolutely aweful - on a par on the ugly scale with the necron monolyth, and Gordon Brown.

We've got a fellow locally here that actually converted a couple Mr Potato heads for stompas, with surprisingly good results. I'll very probably get at least one to add to my mountain of on-the-sprue/still-in-shrink/must-someday-convert pile that my baneblades(skullhamma, tower of skulls) and incomplete armies live in

Though I have no personal interest in Ork kits per se, I'm quite happy to see any new large kits from GW done in plastic after the Baneblade. I think it will be good for the hobby and good for Apocalypse. Hopefully, more large kits will be forthcoming because the nine Baneblades I have now just aren't enough large kits for me!
After the Stompa and Valkyrie, and maybe more Baneblade variants in plastic, I'd love to see a Thunderhawk and at least one large plastic Apocalypse type kit for every army in 40K. The Eldar, Tau, etc. need some big stuff too!

Bear in mind that the pic shown displays SCRATCHBUILT Stompas and NOT the new plastic one.
I'm a fan. I was drowning in Imperial Apocalypse plastics, and GW threw a Xenos a mighty big, chewy bone! Well done lads!
Problem is, I play Eldar. Waiting for a plastic Revenant, so I can buy two. Are the birds even peeping about any Eldar plastics?

Nice to see the orks are getting some stompy love. While it's hard to believe they could make a stompa look cool, I bet a shiny nickle that they do just that!

This had better not be a tease again. If it doesn't show up this time, we'll have to send some of the boyz over to GW and stomp 'em flat!

I'm curious what other large kits they'll attempt to take on. Rumor is that the Baneblade was much more successful than they anticipated. But, it's a kit that a lot of armies can use (all imperial, Chaos, even Orks can loot it). Stompa is only for one army. Will they do an Eldar super-heavy? Tau? I think it makes sense to do a 'single-army' big kit for orks first, since it'd probably sell the best. Thunderhawk would probably sell better (it's marines, and can be loyalist or evil).
Now, if they'd just do a Warhound Titan in plastic......
BrassScorpion

When Apocalypse was released, Forge World Titans started selling as fast in one week as they sold in a whole month before Apocalypse. They continue to sell at a brisk pace thanks to Apocalypse in spite of the extreme cost, time and skill necessary to assemble them. A plastic one that was easier to assemble and significantly cheaper than the FW version would fly off shelves for sure.
I own one FW Titan, the Chaos Warhound, as a show piece, but it's really too fragile and expensive for gaming. If there was a plastic version I'd have at least four of them, two for my Imperials and two for my Chaos forces and they'd be traveling to the Battle Bunker for games all the time!

I'm just happy to see the expansion of the Apocalypse kits to cover a xenos race. That is basicaly a vote of confidence for the whole Apoc range from GW.
I have my fingers crossed for the Eldar, because either an Revenant, Scorpion, or any flyer would be impossible for me to resist.

Apocalypse is one of GW's best ideas in a decade. It vastly expands what many gamer's true definition of a 'complete army' is. It's a massive carrot for people like me to collect an army well past the 2000 point mark. Some Specific examples:
I know that I am going to buy at least two more Tyranid warrior boxes since Reload came out just for the Eye of the Hive battle formation alone. I just need to assemble the two boxes sitting on my 'to do' shelf first.
If they came out with a plastic Trygon I would jump on it and then buy six raveners to round out that battle formation. I'm really crossing my fingers that you Greenskin enthusiasts shell out enough to get some plastic superheavies out for the other xenos scum.

I'd quite like it if GW releases a plastic Warboss model that isn't in a starter box. As much as I love AoBR, and I really do love it, I'm waiting for a full kit of a plastic Warboss and retinue with all the options (and by all I mean powerclaws for everyone).
And, naturally, plastic Greater Daemons... :)
Hatchett
· 1 year ago
Did you say PLASTIC GREATER DAEMONS!!!?? Like the Daemon Prince thread, why not throw in a bunch of threats and obscenities to the mix, only bigger, because they're greater... Joke. They'll never do it. After all, they just marked up the price for the fourth time, since I've been playing, on models they cast thirteen years ago. Why ruin a perfectly good racket? I mean, "thing"?
Madjob
· 1 year ago
Mmm, yes please. I doubt they'd do a full retinue box, but I have been wanting a plastic Warboss very badly, and the AoBR one just doesn't do it for me. Needs Mega-armor and bike options included, as well as a variety of heads and torsos for flavor.

Hey Kind of unrelated About the IG codex, and the SM codex, which i have not had the chance to look through. What is the word on allied Witch Hunters? Has that changed at all? I assume it has not because the Allies rules are in the Witch Hunters codex, but i was wondering if anyone has more concrete info.
Only £60! I want five!(budget, sadly, only allows me to maybe get one)

interesting, i wonder if either a plastic warhound titan, revenanent titan, or even a knight titan would be possible to release? {don't mention the larger titan classes, please, as it would be mucho expensivioso, not even an imperiator titan }
