<GM> sure you can. But just to specify. Are you throwing against the Gaunts in the door-hole or those outside? You may assume that your grenade doesn't fit where the gaunts try to press through. Kinda imagine it like this (but with 3 hormagaunts, and they actually manage to squeeze through, slowly but certain!): <GM> More like you going to flame through the hole they try to get through. Except you decide to open the door and then flame down the hall.
ooc at the front of the door they are trying to get through as then it will be on fire as they try and get in
<Colapse> Ok, firstly I pour fire on those squrrels that are trying to get through, after it I'll place tthe flamer on the hole in the door and pour fire through it
<GM> Only problem is that this would require 2 actions. If one can clear all enemies from the hole in one turn, then you would be able to stick your flame thrower into it. Once again. It is an entire horde basically pressing on one another to get through the hole. This means, the moment one dies in the hole, a new one is in there trying to get through. And once you are bound in melee you can screw it anyway because then the other Hormagaunts get in your way.
<Colapse> Ok I see, then just use one action to fire at those nidz sticking out of the hole, keep the pressure up and hold ground, he's not going into melee. Perhaps I'll even melt down the door lol
OOC: Don't forget to let me know what you going to do this turn. So far I am assuming just another salvo with your Bolt Pistol against the 2 Hormagaunts that jumped out?
<Vulpas> ALright I I shall attack with my bolt pistol this turn Question Does smite do area dammage like to walls and doors?
<Vulpas> Alright Then I Would Like To equipp my staff In both hands And use smite when the tyranids come through the west halls hole.
<GM> 2 already jumped through another 3 are in the hole. If the 2 outside aren't killed they engage the closest (you) in melee.
