So this may sound like a stupid noobish question but whatever, do you have to assult a tank in order to use melta bombs? Do they have a limite range? Are they one time uses or multiple? in the codex it says meltabombSSSS so i was wondering if that meant infinite. Thanks for the help! Rod.

to my understanding its a combat attack and is infinite. so if your melta weapons dont do the trick you can also attack it with melta bombs. but you can only use them against vehicles.

You can use them as much as you like. But only on vehicles, and only in combat. Sadly you can't throw melta bombs at 'Nids . . . Or Termies . . . That would be interesting . . . I feel the need . . . the need for house rules! =D

So can i be assualting something else and hit a tank with a meltabomb or do i have to assult the tank?

The model with the meltabombs has to be in assault with the vehicle.

Oshova

I'm sure the rulebook put it in such a way that I'm right. If not then please correct me . . . But that is how melta bombs work. It's stated clearly in the rulebook, and played like that all round the world . . . maybe you misread a word or two =/

Oshova

well knowing me it doesn't surprise me

Lol fair enough. I'm sure if you re-read it, then you will see the way it's meant to work =D

Welcome to dak dak¡ Oshova covered the question pretty well for future rules questions be sure to post them in You Make da Call so that way you can get yelled at for being a noob and asking a dumb question. Just joking!

That sounds about right . . . I'm sure I've gotten asked "How the Hell don't you know that?" atleast once. But yeah, you always get the right response in there =] Have fun . . . and stay safe =p

Welcome to Dakka Dakka

Welcome to Dakka!

Melta Bombs are combat only, you only get one attack if you want to use it. The specific rule for it is in the vehicle section of the rule book, using the index to find it would have been faster that this

Ah, the days in which you could actually throw grenades....

Anyway, welcome to Dakka Dakka!

Welcome

Questions like this need discussion in YMDC guys.

Apparently you can't throw them because (in the fluff at least) they are the size of small chunks of masonry and weigh as much too.

Welcome dude, No melta bombs here, just bullets
