Hey everyone!
When it comes to using a demo charge, I'm a little hazy on how it works. I have to be 6" away from the target I'm throwing it at, its assault 1 but it uses a large blast template.. so when my guy throws the box of 'boom' does it scatter 2D6? I figure the vet (who I usually kit out with demolitions) would be smart enough not to chuck it fifty feet over the squad I'm trying to annihilate, or worse throw it back onto his own squad via scatter dice. Wouldn't he just throw it in a straight line with no scatter?

Unfortunately no, it works just like normal scatter. Line up the blast marker's central hole over a target model within 6", then scatter 2d6 minus BS. It isn't super likely that you'll bomb yourself if you are right at the 6" mark, but it does happen.

hmm... I wonder how many of those you could take...
special weapon squads can take them too, and theres marbo
2x specials, 3 each is 6 per platoon. 2 platoons makes it 12
4x demolitions vets is 4 more
Marbo brings a back line demo charge
Infantry pie plate spam! bring a master of ordinance for extra lulz.
... and some mortar teams.
man, I am doing a mostly infantry army myself, and I like the sound of this. Gonna make up some demo charges. I'm thinking flamethrower backpacks rigged with grenades!

Throw in a bunch of grenade launchers and you have blast templates coming out your ears. ;D |
