Combi Grenade- Las


Basically a Lasgun with a grenade launcher that gets 2 rounds ,


-- Under mounted Grenade launcher -- ( Same Strenght and AP of norm ) Special Rule - Limited Munitions ( similar to that of the Manticore ) Once a Individuel has fired two Grenades he is considered to be out of ammunition


This would cost 20 Points to Upgrade the Entire unit


This upgrade does not replace previous weapons upgrades but adds to them ( no you can't get a grenade - las - plasma gun all on the same guy )


Just My idea to show that Vets are slighlty better equip then your standard grunts

Check out the Elysian rules, they have aux grenade launchers underslung, similar to your idea. It's unlimited ammo and its...3 points I think? my book is in my room...its to far away. But its there

I think it is only one shot. Honestly anything more than that is probably broken, 6-9 BS4 krak grenades every turn is unimaginably broken.

I need to go re-read my book. But my point that grenade launchers on lasguns already exists was accurate...50/50, thats the best I can hope for while focusing on a methodology assignment

I think with the new rules for throwing grenades, the best option for adding "underslung grenade launchers" would be to improve the range of the one grenade you are allowed to "throw".

I would agree with this, probably increase "throw" range to 12, 18 at max, but 12 would make the most sense.

I actually played a test with the launchers being 12' range and it was surprisingly well balanced ....
