I can't find anything in the BRB for or against the use of assault grenade launchers/stikkbomb launchers on vehicles being able to shoot their grenades. Yay/nay?

DOes it say vehicles can fire grenades?

It says "When a unit [are vehicles units?] with assault grenades makes a shooting attack, one model [are vehicles models?] can choose to throw a grenade, rather than using another shooting weapon."

The stikkbomb chucka grants grenades to a unit that was riding the vehicle providing they charge on the turn they disembark (paraphrased)

You don't get them until you hop off..

Pg 93 Ork dex iirc

I see that, thanks. Does that then mean a Mob of boyz counts as having grenades if they charge that turn?

For example, Trukk with Stikkbomb chukka drives up near enemy unit. The Boyz unload from the Trukk within 8" of enemy squad. In subsequent shooting phase, can they use assault grenade throw ability, and then charge in the assault phase?

yup.

They count as having stikkbombs that turn, as long as they assault. One boy could throw a stikkbomb on the way in, as far as i can tell

I think the stikkbombs go off only when the boyz actually assault. If they got to throw a grenade too, they might panic or wipe out the unit they were about to charge and that would make the trukk crew very sad.

I doubt a s3 small blast would wipe out any unit.
