In a nutshell:

Can I use preferred enemy to re-roll to hit Walkers with grenades? It's not normal attacks, but they DO have a WS value.

Or am I prohibited from this?

Dont see any limits to this....

Don't tease me Nos - my assault squads are just dying to whack out the Melta Bomb pain again

I agree. It is a miss in close combat against an enemy with a WS.

I also agree for those reasons.
"always re-roll their rolls to hit in close combat" pg 75
"so each model using them can only ever make one attack" pg 63
So attacking with a grenade counts as a close combat attack and preferred enemy allows one to re-roll this.

What assault squads have Preferred Enemy towards an army with Walkers?


GKs against Defilers or Soulgrinders would get it, but assault squads?

Black Templars, oddly enough

Blood Angels with an attached Librarian

Right, never considered taking that power before.

Edit: NM

This reminds me of the argument regarding wolf something necklace that lets you always hit on 3+ and whether or not it affected grenades vs walkers in CC.
It got down to "Is a grenade attack an attempt to hit in CC?"
Then everyone went DERP and infinite hypercube threadnought resulted.

Couldn't a Wolf Priest do War Oath and give PE against walkers?
