"Herstel-Wenckler Pigeon Bomb"

Herstel-Wenckler was the first Engineer to successfully train a determined cadre of homing pigeons to fly away from the carrier and towards the oncoming foe. Each bird is fitted with a bomb on a light metal harness, designed to fall away from the bird when the fuse burns to a certain point.

When a Master Engineer declares he will be using Pigeon Bombs, nominate any enemy model within Line of Sight, roll a D6 and consult the following chart:

D6

Result

1

Oops! The confused pigeon returns to its handler!

Centre the small round template over the Master Engineer and resolve the explosion.

2-4

Boom! A poorly cut fuse means the bomb explodes harmlessly in mid-air (harmlessly for everyone except for the pigeon!).

The Pigeon Bomb has no effect this turn.

5-6

Huzzah! The pigeon lands exactly on the head of its target just before the bomb detonates.

Centre the small round template over the target model and resolve the explosion.
