Leaper Mine

Leaper mines are a vicious anti-personnel mine unique to the Jericho Reach Deathwatch, typically deployed against hordes of massed enemies like Orks and Tyranids. Appearing as little more than a discarded heavy bolter shell, they have no internal timer and they are activated when their proximity sensors detect bio-signs within five metres. When activated, these mines leap up roughly two metres and spray an area ten metres across with shrapnel.
