Entire squads of men can take Krak grenades.

If i had a combined squad of 40 men and they all take krak grenades for the cost shown and are used in assualt I have 2 questions:

1) Does this mean they can only be used on charge?
2) Does this mean instead of rolling to wound with the gaurdsmen strength instead i would use the chracteristics of the krak grenade for each gaurdsman?

This has come up as my opponent has a necron tombstalker which regularly charges me and tar pits me up and krak grenades seem a good solution provided they work how i'm imagining.

Thanks!

1) No. You can use them any time you're in CC with MC or Vehicle.
2) You use Strength and AP of Krak grenade in this case.

Just remember, when you're using grenades, you will only get max 1 attack per model using grenade, no matter what.

Convinient since most gaurdsman only get that anyway.

So a blob of 40 gaurdsman would get 40 attempts with krak grenades. Mighty

Might jam yarrick in with them to maximise hits

True, if you can get all 40 guardsmen into position to be allowed to attack in Close Combat that is.

Hah yes i hadnt thought of that. Oh well its better than having to run i guess, and since the tomb stalker has fairly low WS anyway it's actually quite possible to kill it after crunching some numbers. Not great chances but better than having a sweeping advance :s
