Wissenlander: I was given a Tau army when a friend couldn't finish paying me for them (I lent him $350 a couple years ago and he has only trickled the money back - so ended PhillyT's banker days...).
So I have the following:
3 crisis suits
3 stealth suits
4 hammerheads
2 devil fish
24 firewarriors
12 kroot
3 railgun pathfinders
7 pathfinders
24 drones of various types
3 piranha
A Tau battalion, another crisis suit on that and a commander would basically finish this army off. Which would run about the $130 I have left. But on the minus side, I wouldn't touch the army until next summer if that!
Alternatively, I could just wait and get more ORks!
Soulfire: The second Deff Dredd is tempting, but they aren't super good, and they cost half the price of a Stompa! If I am half way to a stompa the pull to get another is overwhelming... also, that would give me three Stompas, meaning I would only be missing the Evil Eye Stompa...
The Baneblade is tempting for the Skullhamma Fortrress. Carries 30 (which could be 3 killa kans!) has a 10" template, and is fast, meaning a 24" move if I don't shoot or a 12" and still shoot the big gun. But he fails against the stompa.
3 stompas would be a dream, but my opponents can't get to 4000 individually, meaning I wouldn't use them all that often. Two would see play all the time, but three would let me pick the two I want for each battle.
So I guess the tau stuff is out. It is not a question of do I get a deff dredd in order to maintain symetry and add a battalion of orks, or do I get the two stompas and something else in the $40 range.
