Interesting combination of units. I would probably go with more infantry myself, but I'll be interested to hear how you get on with the Stompas.

So it turned out I was actually fighting Eldar last night, they sure pump out some scary levels of fire. Went 2-1 to Yme-Loc in the end.

Re; Stompas, love them! They're surprisingly resilient & their fire power is actually pretty decent. By the end one mob had been reduced to "The Little Stompa That Could" & he was contributing those crucial last few blast markers to break formations while the other mob only lost one of number while dishing out a lot of hurt. Will definitely be making more use of them

Good to hear.

Good to hear that Stompas are used in a satisfactory manner! Would have loved to read a report...

It was very much a "hello old friend" game to pick the rules up again. Will make sure to do a report next time

Glad to hear you had a fun game. Orks are always disadvantaged when fighting Eldar since they're a FF army and Orks a CC army that has to fight mainly FF against Eldar skimmers. With a 3 for activation unless engaging or double moving(giving them a -1 to shoot) shooting just isn't Orky! IMHO.
I favor mainly infantry for my Ork armies and avoid vehicles for just that reason. See PFE100's battle report here in early August when Orks took on a Titan Legion for army list and very nicely detailed AAR. Since you want to close to CC as quickly as possible, using vehicle-less mobs as scouts and using Landas is a must!
I'll be using that exact same army again this coming Tuesday for a game. Oh, don't forget to have plenty of Fighta Sqwadrons to suppress enemy artillery and CAP to keep their bombers worried.
I hope this helped. Britt
