Is it legal for Space Wolf Terminators to use Melta Bombs?

In the codex it says the following.....

"If terminator armour is not chosen, any model may have one of the following"

It then lists Jump pack and space marine bike.

Below that as a seperate entry it has

"ANY wolf guard model may choose any of the following"

it then lists melta bombs.

To me that reads that my Wolf Guard Terminators can indeed take melta bombs, is this correct, or is the a current rule somewhere ( a rule not I don't think they should or Fluff says no ect ) that says they can't?

You can take Melta Bombs on them. I would just take a Chainfist though...

I agree with Calypso2ts.

I do take a chainfist. I was thinking of running 5 wolf claw terminators in a game, which is very killy when assualting troops, the melta bombs would mean the unit can take down tanks as well. It's only weakness being high toughness HQ's and MC's.

Terminators can't take grenades.

These guys are Wolf Guard that wear Terminator Armour that have different war gear then your regular SM Termies.

nowhere does it say models in terminator armor can't use grenades.

if it says they can take them then the can.

Incorrect. Wolf Guard terminators CAN

Wolf Guard Terminators certainly can take Melta Bombs which means you can take power weapons at base cost + MB and have all the killiness of Powerfists without the low initiative (I know there is no instant death but when facing Abaddon or similar the ability to hit his termies at the same time they hit you means you have a lot more Wolf Guard to attack than if you go last).

and they are using mb in one of the sw books.
