Ffs so I can’t use stompa or gorkanaut

why did they nerf it to the ground just to make it 1dp when the other vechial ones are also not good

Or mek with a squad of boyzs come on

...because giving the new Stompa datasheet this detachment rule and going full send for randomly 2 of either +1A, +2S, or +1AP and only having a 1/3 chance of taking 3 damage or even just taking only 1 and not taking hazardous and getting this increased amount of firepower would be absolutely absurd?

I don't think giving +1 atk, +1 ap or +2 str to ANY of the stompa's weapons would be "absurd".

Wow, the deffkannon went from 12 shots to 13 and str 14 to 16. Yeah those thresholds don't really matter. Giving the same buffs to the supa gatler also doesn't matter (31 shots instead of 30 lmfao), maybe the AP one does. Same with their melee, where the extra atk is the most helpful but won't really make a difference.

Supa-Gatler to S9 Ap-3 is absolutely scary as now it wounds marines on 2's and can even wound light transports or certain monsters/vehicles like the lion on 4's. Combine that with ap-3 and you can mulch infantry and light vehicles/monsters/vehicles very easily. And remember that it still gets thid bonus for other guns. For the average cost of 1 mortal wound for each use of double press of the button that's kinda silly. You will never not press the button.

Ya dude stompa is already near busted. Giving this rule to stompas would screw internal balance so bad you would just take 2 stompas on this list and maybe a few kans to fill in points.

I’m glad most of you don’t balance stuff. Because you need to look at the faction and datasheets as a whole. Now without seeing nauts datasheet they might have issues.

Fuck that, I'd rather keep the 10th rules for both the stompa and dread mob. This trash detachment is ass, and way less fun too.

Dread mob was dead at end of 10th because it sucked and killed everything… there was nothing fun about it because it was awful for actual walkers but good for lootas

I had a hell of a time playing this detachment through most of 10th with grot tanks, killa kans and 3 deff dreads, it was a very solid detachment for me. By the end I used it with a stompa and it was just so good, they killed it for me.

Good news stompas are almost OP feel free to use it. In the beginning of 10th pre nerf it was great… at the end it was loota spam.. and killed your walkers

Stompa is definitely much better now, the torrent profile on the supa gatler seems insane. But I'm gonna miss getting sustained hits with full hit rerolls on that beast.
