hopkins Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 just looking for some clarifications plague marines have blight grenades, which count as defensive and assault grenades they no longer grant stealth defensive grenades, if i get charged the opponent doesn't get +1 attack bonus however, i noticed that they can be thrown in the shooting phase by one model so if within 8" is much better than popping off a bolt pistol with the profile 8" s1 ap-, assault 1, blast, blind so scatter 2d6 less the model's BS, but do you roll to wound? as it gives a strength value of 1, but the USR for blind states that any unit HIT must take an initiative test or be reduced to WS1 and BS1 until the end of their next turn also, a krak grenade can be thrown 8" s6 ap4 assault 1 as it's a shooting attack, do you just use the model's BS and roll to hit, wound as normal?

Beachymike123 Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 In regards to the krak grenade question yes you just roll to hit with it - its an implosive grenade that will hit a specific area or spot, as opposed to an explosive grenade like frags that have a burst area. Hope that makes sense, this was my take on it anyway. As for nurgle blight grenades i'm not too sure but i think their rules of blind etc will override all others. Will check my dex and rulebook when i get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yes, you still roll to wound with defensive grenades as they can still cause wounds - however unlikely. The Blind special rule will still trigger, even if you fail to wound. Yes, you still roll to hit with Krak grenades as for a normal shooting attack. The easiest way to approach thrown grenades is to think of them as like any other weapon. The only difference is that only one model in the unt can throw one per turn, and the range is very short. They still roll to hit and to wound like any other weapon with the same Type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 With krak grenades I just imagine a super-human gene-enhanced steroid-freak space marine winding up like an angry baseball pitcher and pelting some poor chump straight in his face.

Hiskrtapps Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have a doubt about plague marine's blight grenades. In their profile at the end of the book they don't have the Blind special rule. Where's stated they have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daboarder Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 ok, quote for me the rules in the codex fir throwing grenades, because the only rules that allow you to do that are in the BRB and include the BRB profile. The game does not work if you take the rules to the literal extreme you are suggesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_contagion Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I didn't know Plague Marines had Blight Grenades, that's pretty sweet. I also have a question about grenades. If you have a 2 HQs with Blight Grenades, could you throw their grenades and one from the unit (krak or frag), or is it only ever 1 from a unit (since they're joined to the unit)?

daboarder Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Man so I actually looked and I'll put it this way. THE RULES don't have a specified profile for blight grenades, they are both defensive and assault (see BRB) The quick reference list however does have a thrown profile, but quick refernce sheets aren't the rules and are notoriously wrong So use the profiles in the BRB people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
