Stompa

Prepare for the ultimate display of Orkish ingenuity and power with the mighty Stompa. When a Mek feels the need for something truly stompy, they embark on the monumental task of constructing this gargantuan war machine.

Positioned as one of the largest models in the Warhammer 40K universe, the Stompa stands as a monumental Battle Fortress on the battlefield, embodying the might of Gork with its armament poised for annihilation.

Manned by a crew of several ferocious Orks, with the invaluable assistance of numerous Grot riggers, runners, and assistants, the Stompa is a force to be reckoned with. With its imposing stature, the Stompa boasts two or three colossal guns that unleash a hailstorm of destruction, while its oversized claw or whirring blade stands ready to tear apart enemy tanks and titans in close combat.

Brace yourself for the unstoppable might of the Stompa, an awe-inspiring testament to the raw power and unyielding spirit of the Orks!

How to paint the Stompa set

1. Step 1: Priming and Basecoat
   To begin, prime the Stompa with Chaos Black spray primer. This creates a solid foundation for the paint and ensures a smooth finish. Once primed, apply a basecoat of Mephiston Red to the body of the Stompa, using a large brush. Apply multiple thin coats, allowing each layer to dry before adding the next, for a vibrant and even color.
2. Step 2: Painting the Plates
   With a smaller brush, paint the armor plates of the Stompa using Leadbelcher, a metallic color. Focus on covering the larger flat areas, such as the chest plate and shoulder pads. This adds depth and visual interest to the model.
3. Step 3: Depth and Shadows 
   To enhance the depth of the Stompa, apply a wash of Nuln Oil over the armor plates. This will settle into the recessed areas, adding shading and definition. Use a medium-sized brush and ensure the wash is evenly distributed for a realistic effect.
4. Step 4: Highlighting the Details
   Using a fine brush, highlight the edges and raised areas of the armor plates with Ironbreaker, a lighter metallic color. This technique helps bring out the details and adds a touch of brilliance to the model. Take your time and be precise with your brushwork.
5. Step 5: Adding Character
   Now it’s time to paint the various details of the Stompa. Use colors like Waaagh! Flesh for the Ork skin and Mournfang Brown for wooden parts such as weapons or accessories. Pay attention to the smaller elements and take care to bring them to life.
6. Step 6: Weathering Effects
   For an extra touch of realism, apply weathering effects to the Stompa. Dry brush Baneblade Brown onto the edges and raised areas to simulate wear and tear. Lightly dip your brush into the paint and remove most of it on a tissue before applying it to the model. Experiment and find the level of weathering that suits your taste.
7. Step 7: Extra Realism
   For added realism, consider applying additional weathering effects such as rust or dirt. Stippling or dry brushing with Skrag Brown or Stirland Mud can simulate these effects. Be creative and find the right balance to achieve the desired look.
8. Step 8: Protecting and Enhancing – Applying Varnish
   To safeguard your magnificent Stompa and speed up the process, we recommend Munitorum Varnish Spray. This aerosol varnish offers convenience and efficiency, especially for larger models like the Stompa. Holding the can about 12 inches away from the model, apply an even coat of varnish, ensuring complete coverage. The spray application allows for quick and uniform distribution, saving you time and effort.
