Stompa Conversion
This Stompa conversion incorporates a lot of different parts, the main are the Baneblade chassis instead of feet and the use of a Battlewagon as the head.
At first I wasn’t sure about this conversion, but the more I look at the more I like it. I think the head does work very well.
I can quite easily imagine lots of Ork Meks working together on the hulk of an Imperial Guard Baneblade and building up the body of the Stompa before deciding that the partly destroyed Battlewagon that the Baneblade had taken out would look great as a head!

Evil Eye in da Sky
Taken at GamesDay 2009.
The mechanical monstrosity known to the Orks as the Evil Eye in da Sky is the insane creation of Big Mek Dakrok. The Evil Eye in da Sky is a Stompa, with a number of ‘Big Mek’s Speshuls’ added. These include extra and larger rokkits, a head-mounted supa-gatler, a belly-mounted deth kannon, and, most unusually, an unlikely system for transporting and launching its compliment of Deffkoptas.
Dakrok has become an expert of sorts in using the Deffkoptas to pinpoint enemy positions so that the Evil Eye’s rokkits can be zeroed in on the foe with unerring accuracy. It takes a particularly unhinged Ork to volunteer to pilot one of Dakrok’s Deffkoptas, but for many the chance to be propelled at breakneck speed from the Evil Eye’s launch ramp is just too exciting an opportunity to pass up.

Ork Stompa Head
Putting together the Ork Stompa, this is the “head”.
There is some nice design in this piece and lots of detail.
See how I am making my Stompa on the full workbench feature.

This is of course only part of the main weapon arm, there is the main weapon and rokkits that will be attached to the whole structure.

Putting the Stompa together
Putting the Stompa together.
The model does go together quite easily. However unless you let it dry properly, you can find that if the glue has not set then the model falls to bits in your hands. This has happened with previous plastic kits, so I was very careful with this one. However as there are so many parts, you can leave one bit to dry and start on the next sub-assembly. The left hand side of the body.

Ork Stompa Sprues
The Ork Stompa is one big plastic kit with lots of sprues.
This is the gubbinz and crew sprue. Some of this of course could be used on other Ork vehicles.
