It gives stickbombs to the unit that disembark from the vehicule, but the whole codex already have stickbombs !!!!
Do they have any use ?

Not unless you're using allies or an Unbound list, no.

Weirdboyz, Painboyz, Dok Grotsnik and Grots do not come with Stikkbombz.

Weirdboyz and the ol' Dok could find some use out of then in about one game out of ten, but no, I wouldn't pay even a single point for the ability...

You can shoot frag nades from a vehicle. Not that s3 ap- blast is that great...but why not if you have absolutely no other way of wasting 5 pts.

Do meganobz get stikkbombz?

Everything but the units Warbrucey named come with stikkbombs.

The reason for the stikkbomb option is that the part for it comes in the model's kits.

GW's new policy is only make rules for things they have a models for and if they have a model for it then it needs rules.

the bit for the kit was useful last edition as many things did not have stikkbombs, its still in the kit so they just kept rules for it mostly.

There are a few units it benefits still but not many.

"Useful" as in "in case you charge necrons from a battlewagon, you get to strike at the same time as them". Unless you had a PK, of course.

It's not like they couldn't have made the stikkbomb-chukka a useful piece of equipment though, for example causing damage to units charging the wagon, or making it a S3 AP- large blast weapon.

Whoa there Jidmah, stop trying to give the orks things that might be good.

Next you might propose making Cybork body FnP stack with the FnP from a painboy, or changing it altogether to something that's worth taking.

How will the space wolves kill the Orks if the Orks are really good? Like Eldar/Tau/Bike marines/Helfrost shooting flying AV 12 assault transport good?

Whiney gits are fed to squighounds

Orks are fine.

Yeah I agree

just sad to see what cybork has become.

Meks are the new cybork body. Guaranteed to catch a close combat attack that would have killed the boss

Or flash-bangs: Pick an enemy unit within 6" of the vehicle. If assaulted this turn, the unit makes a [PICK ONE] test or is -2I for the first round of combat.

In Ye Olde Days the chukkas allowed Trukks to tank shock. That was worth 5 points, but it was different from Frag Launchers so it had to go because giving all armies the same rules (Cybork=Bionics, Chukka=Frag Launcher) is the cool thing to do.

As to the rules question in the OP, I just noticed something (thanks koooaei for pointing it out):

"The vehicle is armed with stikkbombs."

Soo... is it a weapon you can fire - and also possibly lose to Weapon Destroyed, saving your rokkit/big shoota/wrecking ball?
