Do anti-tank grenades grant marines 2 attacks base against MCs or Vehicles?
Seeing as the grenades don't have the melee special rule, we wondered if they counted as extra weapons for the purpose of getting extra attacks (note that the marines already have bolt pistols).
We rolled off and concluded that yes (it had no effect in-game that time), but if this is true stuff like Maulerfiends (or any basic vehicle with Rear AV 10) has even more reasons to fear the humble tactical marine.

Thanks!

No.

Krak grenades reduce your attacks to one per model in melee, one per squad when shooting.

No, read the grenade rules at the end of the rulebook:
a Model replaces his attacks with the use of a grenade.

Even a model with 6 Attacks standard could only roll To Hit and To Wound with a single krak grenade.

Really?
Is this true for all grenades then?
In my head, all of those cool Dark Eldar HQs stopped being the solution to Knights :(

Yes. If you opt to use a grenade in CC you only get one attack.

Also note a Maulerfiend is a walker so you attack its front armour in combat, not its rear.

It doesn't reduce your attacks to one per squad while shooting. Only one model can throw a krak grenade while shooting, but the rest of the squad can still shoot other weapons.
