Ok I've been looking in the book where it says that you need 6's to hit with them and I can't find it.  Can someone point out a page number please?

My other question is "If a vehicle didn't move and it doesn't have a Weapon Skill do you hit automatically with a Nade?"

Ok I've been looking in the book where it says that you need 6's to hit with them and I can't find it. Can someone point out a page number please?

Warhammer 40,000 4th edition rulebook, page 72 under the heading Using Grenades Against Walkers In Close Combat.

Seen that page and it doesn't say what you need to hit.

I've always used the "Infantry Assaulting Vehicles" rules on page 71 to determine what roll to hit score I needed with meltabombs. Isn't an attack with a grenade just like a regular assault on an enemy vehicle, except that you only get a single attack?

Not against a vehicle with a WS.

Pg Number please on the vehicle with a WS rule and what you need to hit it with a nade?

Ok got it. Still on page 72. I didnt' look far enough. Walkers in Assault.

You need a 6 unless it's immobilized or stunned then you use your weapon skill.

Anyone know about how many immobillizing hits are required to hit a walker in the rear armour?

Yup, you do, according to your sig...

Biblically?  that would explain the rumor of sticky pages ...

Again, page 72, first and second paragraph under Walkers in an Assault

If you're going to say "Nade", is it really too much effort to say "grenade"?

Or is "grenade" not cool enough?

What's wrong with 'nade?'  It's no worse than 'lith, 'nid, or 'fex. 

'sright. Just last game I used a 'nade against my opponent's 'ter and got a 'tration and he was like "'ude..."

I'm guessing Cap plays Halo a lot. I hear that little bastardization quite a bit playing Halo2 on xBox Live. And yeah, it's real annoying there too.

Which is exactly where I told you it was to which you replied that it didn't say what you needed to hit

After much deliberation, I have come to the conclusion that Cappy's sig actually refers to Tic-Tac-Toe.

Ok from 3rd you had to immobilize a Dreadnaught twice but now in 4th it once but you can never attack it's back armour in hth. Does anyone know where that rule is?

Lordhat. Once you lost to me you'd wonder who was Intellectually the Superior.

PS Nade is a common nick name for grenade.  It has been used for a long time.  I guess you have to be around them to know they have a nick name.

Page 72. All the rules for walkers in an assault continue to be on pages 72-73 of the rulebook.

Yakface does it talk about only hitting front armour in hand to hand?

Yes it does. Do you have the rulebook or can´t you read?

LOL. I hope you don't kiss your kids or your mother with that attitude. I simple yes it does would have been fine. No I do not have my rule on me at this moment. I'll be sure to look at it when i get home. I guess this site should change names to "We are all arseholes."

Well, if you have the rulebook, why can´t it wait until you´ve got back home? The answers are clearly ther, the others have said so a number of times already, so why ask it here..?

Seems like a big waste time to me. Especially with that signature of yours...

Oh, give him a break, he just mistyped it.

It should read, "I know the Rules, do I?"

I understand where the good Captain is coming from.

I like when people ask questions just because they can. I don't like Capt Anderton or the use of the word 'nade. If either of those come up during a game, I would immediately force my opponent to forfiet the game, and then I would dock their sports and comp.

Had a similar situation come up this weekend, and both my opponent and myself aren't that familiar with the 4th edition rules. Yes we both have the rulebook but it didn't seem that clear to us. The situation was he had immobilized my Monolith and then assaulted it with Meltas. We didn't know if it was an automatic hit and we were unsure how to see if they did hit. If the rules are to use the assaulters WS, then you use that versus what? The Monolith doesn't have a WS, does that mean it's an automatic hit? Thanks.

For you flyins.

From what I found you auto hit if it didn't move, 4+ if it moved and 6's if it moved over 6 inches or is a skimmer. Now vs WS vehicles you need 6's unless you stun or immobilize it, then you use your WS vs it.

ie My Dread is immobilized and you jump it with meltabombs. You need your WS 4 vs my WS 4 to hit it. 4+.

I hope you don't kiss your kids or your mother with that attitude.

How do you kiss someone with an attitude?

I guess this site should change names to "We are all arseholes."

You get what you give. You've spent enough time talking smack and posting incorrect rulings as fact witout checking the rulebook first that it should be no surprise when people fail to be completely helpful in return...

How do you kiss someone with an attitude?

LOL! It's not easy, but it involves 'nades I'm sure. I don't know what a 'nade is but it sounds dirty, and I like it!

You know, out of morbid curiosity... I did a quick Google of the term "'nade"... and got a whole lot of info about the National Association for Developmental Education. Only on page 3 did I finally get a hit on it being a reference to being a GREnade... on a Halo2 forum no less. I did a search on Ask JEeves... and the first reference to a GREnade came on page 4 (nothing more till after page 6... I got tired looking).

However, do a Google of "GREnade"... and you get hits right away about hand thrown fused explosive devices.

Also, knowing plenty of people actually serving in both the US Army and USMC... and not hearing them refer to a grenade as a 'nade... I have a problem beleiving it's a "common" term for a GREnade.
