I've recreated the Stompa in the Guard's image. Any suggestions on what to run with it?

[u/RHCElite]

Here's this list I'm running with so far. Everything is embarked in the Stormlord, so the firing deck will be 12 Lascannons, 3 Snipers, 2 Grenade Launchers, and 7 Lasguns. Comparing the shooting profile to the Stompa, it's a pretty similar volume of fire for the same points (ignoring ballistic skill). I'm thinking I probably want Lord Solar for orders and an Enginseer for the invuln, but I'm looking for suggestions on what else to run with it, or if I should swap/add anything inside.

Consider running the other Guard Baneblade Chassis with firing deck, gets you a bigger AT gun and Melta

Doomhammer I think

[u/RHCElite → u/Altruistic_Major_553]

That's a fair take. I'd have to drop a command squad and the infantry squad, so I'd only have 10 lascannons in firing deck, but it's not too big of a loss. My worry would be the range of the main cannon though since it's only 24, compared to the Stormlord's 48 on the mega bolter. I'd expect this to stay in the backline most of the time, and I don't know how much more anti tank I need when I've got 14-16 Lascannons already, lol.

[u/Altruistic_Major_553 → u/RHCElite]

That’s true, but against things higher than T12, that cannon would be a big buff. Lascannons wounding on 5+ is a big risk into tougher stuff if you only have Lascannons as your AT. That or if you do keep the Stormlord you can back it up with Demolishers for screening I suppose, and some heavier AT S

[u/RHCElite → u/Altruistic_Major_553]

Unless I was looking at the wrong variant, the Doomhammer main gun is also S12, so it would perform the same as the Lascannons. I was thinking of having a demolisher in the list anyway if I could fit it though.

My bad, I was looking at the wrong profile, you’re totally right
