Odatria:

If you take a Naptha Bomb upgrade on your infernal guard champion, is it one use only?

I couldn’t find anything in the rules saying so but the entry doors say ‘may take A naptha bomb’ but then again it also says ‘may take A pistol’ and you can use that more than once.

Essentially, fluff wise you could only throw it once, unless you had ‘naptha bombS’ but I can’t see a rule stating one use only.

It’s not one use only. It’s just a typo or little oversight in the writing. Read ‘naptha bombs’.

Odatria:

Thanks, I had guessed as much and that’s how I played it.

Does anyone regularly take them? I don’t normally but I was 5 points off my minimum core in my last game so I just put that in there, but it actually worked out to be really good, I killed two swordmasters with it on stand and shoot.

The Champion often takes it in a unit of Infernal Guard armed with Blunderbusses. Because a Stand & Shoot reaction takes place at the longest range of the shortest ranged weapon, in this case 8", it puts the Blunderbusses into short range for the Stand & Shoot netting you more hits.

Smart ruleswranglig. I really am a complete amateur at rules. I would only have figured that out myself had I stumbled across it during a game, and maybe only if the opponent had pointed it out!

Really good with stand and shoot fireglaives.

Fireglaives.

If you already have 10 blunderbusses, it’s no use.

The range of BB's is 12" and FG's 18" I think you got your ranged weapons mixed up with Naptha bombs in a unit of BB's you still would be at long range at 8"
