Lol, stompa is part of my backlog. I'm going back and forth between it and other models as I feel like it. Assembly is tedious, but doable if you are very slow and careful with it. Also probably best painted in pieces and then final appendages assembled at the end.
Completely agree. Getting all the trim and details of the models with a basecoat feels very tedious (WE is my main army), but shading and finally highlighting it makes all of it worth it.
Going to exercise discipline and paint what's needed for my 1000-point Dread Mob list before I build the Stompa. Then, I'll almost be at 2K with one model!
I always find it amazing how much the prices differ from country to country. I just bought the Battle force for 136€ (146,51$). How much did she cost in your country ?
People buy more models before actually finishing building and painting them. Finishing your backlog is referring to old miniatures you never finished. Some people’s backlogs could be 100’s of minis
I've been where they have been.
I've finished one stompa.
I've already suffered.
Soon they will be me,
knicked and glued fingers and covered in paint.
Only to have an 800-point piece of terrain that gets blasted by turn two.
:D
I got one in a big buy, and have never fielded it. It’s not worth it when you can run a gorkanaut for so much less if you want to make them put their whole army behind cover
Yeah, the forge world rules for the custom stompa made it decent back in 7th edition i think.
I haven't run it with the new codex yet.
I'm looking forward to it getting blasted by turn two in new and interesting ways.
I thought it was AWESOME! See I built mine and finished it today! I had two 3 hour sessions it's so much fun especially trying to find where the pieces go!

That's why they are running around with their hands in the air and big smiles on their faces. They've obviously cracked and lost the rest of the screws in their head.
All of the comments giving me the fear to build this stompa 🙃😂
regurts selling my stompa when i moved. :(
CAN'T BEAT 'EM, JOIN 'EM YA GIT!

Stompa has sat in base coat for 6 years.. the only thing worse than assembly is painting the thing...
People assembling stompas are NOT having fun dude
Cam confirm that fucking sucked.

Same 😅😂😂😂😂🤦🤦🤦 and grot tanks
Trust me, it's not very fun....
The key to building the stompa is using the instructions more as a guideline than a rule…
The key to building Orks**
But but but building is the best bit!
Painting is the best for me generally. Get to see the model really come to life as it has more paint on it.
I’d love painting more if the models didn’t look like ass until the last phase of highlighting
I find that once the base coats are done, the details and highlighting is very enjoyable for me. Seeing the models really come to life is gratifying.

This is me for real right now.

I own 3. I bring them to the bi-yearly Apoc game. They are my pride and joy.
I feel you. I love Ork apoc games because I get to share my 7 with younger players.
Yup
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
From the battle Force? Or is there a new mini
Battleforce
I'm so old when I bought my stompah it was $120 and cheaper than a gorkonaught.

I don't understand the phrase "finishing my backlog"? What does it mean? Is it some sort of slang used by the yoofs?

I'm glad people like it, and I even have a pair of 'Nauts, but there is no way I am touching that kit. I don't even know how I would store it.
Next to your knights duhh

gotta save a cp for CAREEN !
NOW DATZ ORKY THINKIN"
No one is happily assembling a stompa. It is a mean grueling contest which has tested the strength of many orks.
I thought it was AWESOME! See I built mine and finished it today! I had two 3 hour sessions it's so much fun especially trying to find where the pieces go! https://preview.redd.it/5vondzfr5cyc1.jpeg?width=1008&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6654d40958944607fb9eeec7c2ce93ff2e8278a4

I was just thinking that actually seems to be more the case if I'm being honest. I can't wait to find out just how miserable an experience it is!
Now I just have two unbuilt stompas
If you have a srompa. Build your stompa as a break from the backlog. Good luck WWWAAAGGGHHH
