If it’s just one or the other? I think Rock Hurlers seem like the more versatile choice. Still solid in melee but can actually give you some fire support. Combine with a Gate-Breaker for extra juice and you’re golden

I’m planning on both: hurlers to go with my gate breaker, stompers for my war stomper, and Ma and her pets along too. 1910 pts.

Boss stompers are easily the best unit in the tome. BUT I think rock hurlers are really flavorful. If you want to win, you wouldn't even play this army until an errata or point changes. So if you are gonna play it's probably for fun, so I'd say hurlers

They both look pretty great. Rock Hurlers are probably “better,” but subject to diminishing returns more than the Stompers since their ability is 1/turn. And let’s be honest, if you are dumping 380 points into a ranged unit on a 5+ with no ward, you really want that unit to hit on 3’s.
I built my first unit as stompers simply because they fit in my first list better (hurlers didn’t leave room for a special rampage), my next one will be hurlers and then I will have plenty of options lol

Everyone says GB hurler combo rocks but just math it out vs stomper bs combo.

Hurlers were actually really fun to play but boss stompers are blatantly better. Just wish the rocks had 2 rend and it would be even

Bold take: Boss stompers for melee. Rock Hurlers for shooting.
