Grenade

From Lexicanum

Jump to: navigation, search

Grenades are hand-held devices thrown at the enemy and designed to in some way damage or disrupt an enemy formation or a single vehicle. From third edition onwards, few types of grenades are used and their effects are streamlined; in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader (first edition), there were many different grenades, each having a different effect.
