Super-heavy Walkers such as Ork Stompas are towering behemoths, clad in incredibly thick armour and armed with devastating weaponry. They loom above the battlefield, striking down anything that gets in their way.
Super-heavy Walkers are
Walkers that have the additional rules and exceptions given below.
Super-heavy Walkers are
Super-heavy vehicles and use the Super-heavy vehicle rules for
Shooting,
Vehicle Damage,
Catastrophic Damage and
Transports.
Super-heavy Walkers can move 12" in the
Movement phase. If moving into or within
difficult terrain, double the result of the highest dice roll when making a Difficult Terrain test - this is the maximum distance in inches that the model can move. Apart from this, they obey the movement rules for
Walkers. In addition, Super-heavy Walkers cannot fire
Overwatch.
All Super-heavy Walkers have the following special rules:
Fear,
Hammer of Wrath,
Invincible Behemoth,
Move Through Cover,
Relentless,
Smash,
Strikedown.

Super-heavy Walkers
engaged in combat may make a special type of attack called a Stomp attack. The Stomp attack is made in addition to the Super-heavy Walker’s normal attacks. Stomp attacks are resolved during the
Fight sub-phase at the
Initiative 1 step. This does not grant the model an additional
Pile In move at the Initiative 1 step.
A Stomp attack consists of D3 Stomps. To make the first Stomp, place a
blast marker so that it is touching, but not over, the Super-heavy Walker model (or the Super-heavy Walker model’s base, if it has one). Each unit that has at least one model even partially under the marker is stomped. For each unit that is stomped, roll on the Stomp table (see right) to determine what happens to it. Each subsequent Stomp is made in the same manner as the first, except that the blast marker does not have to be placed touching the Super-heavy Walker. Instead, it must be placed so that it is at least partially within 3" of where the last blast marker was placed, and not over the Super-heavy Walker. This allows you to ‘Stomp forward’ into the enemy! Note that the Super-heavy Walker is not moved – we assume it stomps about but ends up more or less where it started.

Flying Gargantuan Creatures,
Super-heavy vehicles,
Super-heavy Walkers, and
Super-heavy Flyers cannot be stomped; do not roll on the Stomp table for them if they fall under the blast marker. Any other units with models under the blast marker are stomped as normal.
FAQ
Stomp
| Q: | When you make a Stomp attack in close combat and cause casualties outside of those in the combat, do the units outside of combat have to take Morale checks as if suffering 25% casualties, if they lose 25% or more? |
| A: | No. |
Super-heavy Vehicles
| Q: | Do you have to select all targets before any dice are rolled for the weapons mounted on a Super-heavy vehicle? If that is the case, are One Use Only/One Shot Only weapons used up if a previous weapon destroyed the target that the One Use Only/One Shot Only weapon was going to shoot? |
| A: | Yes, to both questions. |
| Q: | Do Super-heavy Walkers shoot at targets from where their weapon is modeled or from the base? |
| A: | Ranges are measured from the weapon itself. Unless modelled otherwise, assume all weapons have a 45° facing from the front of the model. |
| Q: | Are Super-heavy Walkers limited, like normal Walkers, to a 45° arc of fire from the facing of the model’s weapon? |
| A: | Yes – they follow all the normal rules for Walkers, except when explicitly stated otherwise. |
