I am buying two battlewagons. One will fall victim to my Mekboss genetic imperative and form the outer details of the WALL-E Stompa. The other will be built pretty much normal - although some kustomization is mandatory.
Ideas: Lowering? Biiig exhaust pipes, hot rod style? I am thinking of leaving the 'jaw' piece off and building a death roller (or waiting until the direct-only death roller sprue becomes available from GW)
I have seen the early pictures of the GW plastic Stompa and I am very impressed - but it's not what I want in a Stompa. So, like any Mekboss worth his bolts, I will be going ahead with my own (the WALL-E Stompa). It will have the weapons and gubbinz described in the Apocalypse books, but will be more angular than the 'production' model.
My main critique of the GW Stompa design is that while the body looks well armoured (in an appropriately ramshackle way), the weapons are very exposed. I imagine that a Stompa would be a fire magnet on the battlefield and even the dimmest grotrigger wouldn't want the crucial mechanisms (ie: honking big guns) to fail because of a stray bolter round.
