<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Grenade Throwback."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Grenade Throwback. If an enemy unit is within half the maximum range of a thrown grenade. Both units roll 1d6. A result of 6 for the defender is an auto fail.
Attackers wins or Ties- Grenade hits
Defender wins- Roll snapshot to hit attacking unit.

So a Grenade thrower within half max range needs a 5+ to auto win a Grenade Throwback

Also how do you 'win' an initiative test?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8531411.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8531411.page GMT Grenade Throwback.

Meh, maybe I was thinking of different test. I'll fix it.

I was probably thinking of winning a hit&run roll off now that I've thought about it for a minute lol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8531428.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8531428.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532713.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532713.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532725.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532725.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532806.page GMT Grenade Throwback.

Its a proposed rule.... kinda what this section of the forum is for. And it's more for realism... might as well take away things like rapid fire because it falls under the same principles of realistic based actions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532871.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532871.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8532888.page GMT Grenade Throwback.

Generally it's better to add rules that serve a purpose rather than bloating the rulebook further. For example adding a rule that allows charging from outflank but at a penalty.


I can agree with that logic. Just finding it hard to walk the line of adding things because it's worse then presidential politics. Got left wingers and right wingers and how they feel about it, so I just went with something based on realism as it does occur in the books more then a few times

The only time I throw grenades is if I have a squad with a Lightning Claw dude, simply because he doesn't have a pistol anymore.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8533256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8533256.page GMT Grenade Throwback.
If you are going for realism, who is to say that a space marine, eldar, etc. isn't skilled enough that he times his grenade throw so that it detonates on impact or mid-air? How do we know that all grenades in the 40k universe are timed? Do some grenades specifically explode on impact? There's just too much going on to say that a grenade even can be thrown back.

If any sort of rule like this is to be instituted I'd go for more of a martyrdom style move. On a successful leadership test a model may throw themselves on a grenade, auto wounding and possibly increasing AP, while also ignoring cover. Plus this one would make sense for more of the races, such as a tyranid having the basest of instincts that "this will kill a bunch of us" and being smart enough to protect the swarm.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535092.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535092.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535153.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535153.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8535364.page GMT Grenade Throwback.

You know that throwing grenades back is an action movie thing, right? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8536259.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8536259.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8536275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8536275.page GMT Grenade Throwback.
Grenades don't work in a way that you could reliably throw or 'kick' them back. And even being a cool kid eldar won't help.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8542239.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8542239.page GMT Grenade Throwback. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8542299.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684226/8542299.page GMT
