Isiah Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Don't they use plasma grenades as their Assault Grenades for the same effect? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170116-quick-dark-eldar-question/#findComment-2009241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
angry man Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 as stated above, dark eldar can take plasma grenades - the rules in the codex allow a unit with plasma grenades to strike in initiative order when they charge into cover, in 4th ed rules this was different to frag grenades (which caused units to strike simultaneously). however under 5th ed rules both frag and plasma grenades fall under the same category of assault grenades (not sure of the BRB page number - try the index). the assault grenades rule allows equipt units (be it with plasma, frag etc...) to strike in initiative order when assaulting/charging into cover. so in answer to your question, if your DE opponents has paid the points for plasma grenades, they come equipped as if they have frags and therefore act accordingly AM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170116-quick-dark-eldar-question/#findComment-2009251 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Actually... a-nesto is right, they dont have the option to buy them for warrior or raider squads in the copy of the codex I have.

Grey Mage Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Yeah, they did get a minor rules edit around 2000, right before the wolves got the same... I have no idea if that one allows grenades or not.
