==Types==
Many types of grenades have been developed to cause various effects. In first and second edition, there were many types of grenade, available to most races and armies, and came in both grenade and missile form. In game terms, from 3rd edition onwards, only a few types are used by each type of army. The vortex grenade was recently brought back for Apocalypse-scale battles. Grenades of Orkish [[Ork]]ish design are known as [[stikkbomb]]s.
