====Kustom Stompa pg202====

Ork units have always suffered with being over costed, as the designers never really know or appreciate how their maths works. The Kustom Stompa has been the pinnacle of this. Yes its a S10 T8 unit with 40 wounds and a 3+ save, so it must fall into the knightly cost territory. But unlike a knight it has no invulnerability save, and cannot be buffed because its specifically a '''Kustom Stompa''' not a '''Stompa''' in its rules, and only has the ork 5+ ballistic skill (4+ with dakka dakka). So what do you get for your 800+ price tag? Guns. A lot of Guns. And a melee potential capable of destroying most other units in the game outright.

Although the kustom stompa is a bit squishy it makes up for it with the simply, undiluted volume of pure damage it can send out into the world. It is a glass cannon of such incredible lethality that it’s worth taking it just to see what might happen.

A note on the Kustom Lifts-Droppa. The Droppa does not use a normal wounding mechanic, which is good this edition as it actually makes it easier to wound all targets, and there are no dramatic odds changes like the probability difference between a 2+ and 3+ dice roll. As the max toughness is now 9 as well you will wound everything in the game with this weapon about 66.03% of the time (more decimal places are available).
