	The Mek's Stompa, as its name suggests, are built by an overly ambitious Big Mek (or even a group of them) and are often seen as a direct opposite to the Goff Stompa. Most Mek's Stompas are a kind of gift from a Warboss to a Big Mek, if the Mek made the Warboss a Supa-Stompa or a Gargant, he can look the other way whilst the Mek siphons off resources to make a walker of his own. That, or the Mek is drumming up his own Waaagh!, and his Stompa is the first best Titan he can throw together.

	Of course, the creation of a Mek Stompa often outshines his Warboss' glory if he builds it first, with many Orks flocking towards its banner, bringing with them more Meks, more teef and in a circuitous way, more Stompas, thereby boosting the Mek's influence to even rival that of his Warboss.

	There are no rules for the Mek Stompa on tabletop, although you can proxy a Kustom Stompa as one by giving it a [[Deth Kannon]] on one arm and a [[Lifta-Droppa]] on the other. It is also essential to equip it with a Gaze of Mork and an assortment of rokkits and shootas. Of all the Stompa variants, this is possibly the easiest to make and improvise.

	For these reasons the consensus over the last couple of editions has been that the Stompa was greatly overpriced in points. In pre-9th meta a Stompa could be considered a wonderful centerpiece and an occasional participant in friendly games or campaigns, but little more. Unfortunately GW seemed content with that status quo for many years. As of early 9th Edition, however, the Stompa sits at 675 points, weapons included, which is about right if you ignore the CP cost. Therefore although it's debatable whether it is tournament-competitive it is certainly a unit worth considering again. Furthermore, it can be quite brutal if taken with other Ork Lords of war like ~~Gorkanauts~~ and ~~Morkanauts~~, especially since most people won't expect an Ork army to consist primarily of Titanic units and therefore won't be prepared for it. Of course, be prepared to burn friendships if you do this in friendly games without informing your opponent in advance.

	In standard games of Warhammer 40,000 the Stompa is a severe threat, but considering what you have to sacrifice in order to field one its actual battlefield performance can be rather underwhelming. For starters, a Stompa lacks a built-in invulnerable save and is therefore only marginally more durable than an Imperial Knight, despite having 40 wounds. Its wound tracker isn't doing it any favors either, because it starts losing capability after only 10 points of damage and is basically incapacitated if it has 10 wounds remaining or less. Of course, as a Lord of War the Stompa also requires you to burn 3 non-refundable CP on a super-heavy detachment just to field one in the first place.
