There are some drawbacks to melta bombs in melee. One attack, and you can't use them against everything. It's not a bad idea to hand a few out, but far from cheese.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542049.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542049.page GMT Vanguard vets with melta bombs

Unwieldy too, so dropping one on a Monstrous Creature is probably not going to work, though Concussive weapons can help prevent that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542081.page GMT Vanguard vets with melta bombs
You cannot use them on infantry, only Vehicles and Monstrous Creatures (or bigger) and can only be used as 1 singular attack. Think of them as a 5pt, highly specific tool for use against vehicles with AV 12+. Against creatures they're only S8, AP1, with no gain from the "Melta" rule.

While a powerfist is more expensive, you can use it against all targets, gaining all of your attacks in your profile at pretty much the exact same stats as a meltabomb (S8, AP2).

Meltabombs are a convenience/hail mary pass type of weapon. You never -need- them, but they're a good contingency plan.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542424.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542424.page GMT Vanguard vets with melta bombs

Thanks did not notice it was a grenaid I was only looking at the profile in my space marine codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/684829/8542508.page GMT Vanguard vets with melta bombs
