If I am reading this right, the unit can throw 10 tankbusta bombs, surely this can't be right as it would be so OP lol I hope its right as it says 'fire a grenade weapon' doesn't specify just stikkbombs.

I feel like this would be YMDC, rather than general discussion, but yeah, you can throw 10 tankbusta bombs if you have a full unit of 10 tankbustas. They still proc Dakka Dakka Dakka! as well, so you could get even more hits if you use the Moar Dakka! stratagem on them. It's one of the few ways Orks can nuke a Knight in one shooting phase.

Also, it isn't really that OP, since you need to get within 6" of a vehicle worth this much overkill, they can't be in a vehicle when they do this (the FAQ clarified stratagems only work on Ork units outside of vehicles unless stated otherwise) and if you tellyport them you're out of range to use your tankbusta bombs and are definitely going to be shot to pieces before they can get any closer.

This forum is fine and what does it matter to you, you aren't a MOD. No boys and Kammandos also get tankbusta bombs.

Whoa, a little touchy there are we? Rules questions are usually in YMDC, no need to get all hostile.

I don't know why you bring up Boyz or Kommandos, since they can only take 1 tankbusta bomb for every 10 guys (5 guys for Kommandos). So for the question you were asking in your OP, they can't throw that many. At most you can throw 3 max (assuming full units for either) and the rest are normal stikkbombs.

Grimskul isn't wrong here. Rules Questions go in YMDC. A mod will probably move it soon enough.

To answer your question, yes, you can throw 10 Tankbusta Bombs. Only Tankbustas can have that many however. You most likely won't ever get to within 6" to do so however since the Tellyporta puts you 9" away. If you do manage to get in range though, make sure to combine it with MORE DAKKA! and Showin' Off.

It's not "OP" because you forgo your Rokkit shooting to be able to throw the grenade, costs a Command Point to do so and requires either dumb luck or sacrificing a battlewagon to get your guys in range (and you have to disembark to do so).

Not getting hostile, just to see the need for people to police the forums when it isn't their business to.

Still not bad for tankbusta's though, so I'm still glad.

It was just a suggestion? For future posts? Since when was following forum rules a bad thing? Then again, given your previous track record I guess your stance isn't surprising.

Well it came off as policing my bad. What do you mean my previous track record?

Moved to the proper forum and a general reminder to please report if someone posts a topic in the wrong forum, avoids a lot of needless back and forth.
