In between building up several more shokkattackdeffkoptas, I was struck with the need to address my lack of Supa Stompaz. Lets review the options!
1. The "new", "official", & "fancy" GW Supa Stompa:

A dramatic departure from the bell-shaped Orky war machines of yore and obviously created by the sneaky Tau as part of a plot to inspire
years (literally!) of horrid Stompa scratchbuilds in 28mm land. Is a Warboss going to hope something holds still long enough to roll up and bonk it in the head with that hamma? Really?
Note similarity to the common Tau house robot:

While it wasn't what anyone expected to see following the art in the Ork & Squat Warlords book, it still had some proper Orky bits and an assortment of third arms! Still, you would need to muster quite a few boyz to push it toward the enemy before it could get in reach to whoopass. Like an obese penguin, it ain't walking anywhere.
With the above being largely unsuitable for use, solutions & opportunities abound!
