The fight against the Stompa was a blood bath.  The Stompa was filled with mechs that could repair it and give it a cover save.  Also inside was his Warboss holding onto a Relic.  It was my plan from the start to kill the beast, but once it ate my Relic it was the only thing left to do or loose.  It took 3 player combat phases to kill it and he failed to repair a single HP with a lot of failed 5+ re roll able dice.  The Melta Bombs did all the work but failed to roll a single d3 HP penetration roll until the very end.  I bunched my models together and took to many death from stomps but that was not enough to save the beast.   My Captain, Dreadnought and 1 Vanguard Vet were lost in the effort and i even failed a break test at the end of the 2nd assault phase.  Lucky for me that let me charge back in and finish the job.  My Shooting against it was uneventful (5 + cover save soaked up all his luck), sad to say, but over all the dice were on my side in the fight. 

 

The Storm Raven made it all possible.  Once again the Zoom and Boom was FTW.
