Total War: Warhammer 40,000 developer Creative Assembly has shown off a full battle in the upcoming strategy game, and in doing so confirmed it features the biggest unit ever in a Total War game.<\/p>\n

The livestream included lots of interesting discussion about unit cards, shooting, suppression, flanking, and equipment, but what caught my eye was bigger than all that put together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really wanted to put the biggest thing that we could get away with in a Total War game,\u201d David Petry, battle product owner, said during the stream as the Orks\u2019 towering Stompa came into view.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking at putting bigger things in later down the line, of course. But this will be the biggest thing we\u2019ve had in a Total War. So, very excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Stompa is the biggest unit ever in a Total War game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What is a Stompa? Well, like most Ork machinations, the Stompa is a crude coming together of bits and bobs that is far greater than the sum of its parts (Ork magic, don’t get me started). It is a walking, shooting battle fortress that, as you\u2019d expect from its name, stomps all over the battlefield, crushing all that gets in its way. It has a crew of several Orks, dozens of Grot riggers, runners, and assistants, and usually two or three enormous guns and a gigantic claw for melee. If you\u2019re an enemy tank, you need to be afraid of a Stompa. Well, if you\u2019re anything, you need to be afraid of a Stompa.<\/p>\n

In the livestream, the hapless Astra Militarum try to destroy the Stompa with an orbital strike \u2014 an extremely powerful attack you won\u2019t be able to use very often. It\u2019s basically an \u2018in case of emergency break glass\u2019 move. The Stompa somehow survives the attack, much to the surprise of the developers. But it\u2019s basically dead, and it isn\u2019t long before it blows up.<\/p>\n
