====Smoke Grenade====

Smoke Grenades are one of the most common form of tactical grenades. When people think of non-lethal grenades, the Smoke Grenade comes into mind.

A Smoke Grenade is a simple metallic canister designed to emit a thick, persistent smoke cloud in order to shroud an opponent's vision. Related to, but not as effective as Blind Grenades, Smoke Grenades are used by the military forces of the Imperium of Man as a tool to take tactical control over the battlefield. The most notable users being [[Primaris Marines|Primaris]] [[Infiltrators]].

However, there exist many technologies among the various intelligent species of the galaxy that are more than capable of penetrating the simple visual obfuscation caused by smoke. This can make these grenades ineffective in this role against certain well-equipped foes.

====Blind Grenade====

[[Pretend|Despite the name, they ain't Flashbangs.]] [[Derp|Unless you are using the one in Dawn of War where it basically functions like a Flashbang.]]

Blind grenades are a more complex version of a smoke grenade, releasing a dense dark grey smoke cloud as well as infrared bafflers and broad spectrum electro-magnetic radiation and chaff to disrupt enemy scanners. The broad range of interference makes most forms of direct attack through it impossible, though the effect only lasts for a short time and the cloud can quickly dissipate given the correct weather conditions.

As mentioned above, a variant of Blind Grenade used by the [[Blood Ravens]] Astartes chapter releases a bright flash of energy that incapacitates rather than harms its targets. This type of blind grenade does not work on vehicles or infantry units that are inside of a building.

Here's a fun fact, the cannon appearance of Blind Grenades look like three doughnuts duct taped together.
 
====Shock Grenade====

The <u>''ACTUAL''</u> 40k Flashbangs.

A Shock Grenade is a non-lethal type of Imperial grenade designed to produce a blinding flash of light and loud, raucous noise without causing permanent injury. Shock Grenades are most often used by the [[Reiver|Reiver Squads]] of [[Primaris Space Marines|Primaris Space Marine]] formations who deploy them to stun the enemy long enough for the Reivers to launch a close assault that makes quick work of the foe.

Shock Grenades are known to be shaped similarly to that of a Krak Grenade. Why they made it like this, we have no idea. They differentiate themselves from Kraks by having what appears to be a glass casing filled with a yellow substance (possible the pyrotechnic chemicals needed to shoot out the bright flashes). Of course, whilst it is not lethal, holding one when it is about to blow would result in losing one's hand.

====Mindscrambler Grenade====
[[File:Mindscrambler_Grenade_Pouch.JPG|150px|right|thumb|Mindscrambler Grenade Pouch]]
Mindscrambler grenades are a special type of grenade only used by the Adeptus Mechanicus and most commonly issued to [[Sicarian Ruststalker|Sicarian Ruststalkers]]. The munition contains the egg-sac of a Cthellan electrogenesis squid. When detonated, the resultant surge of bio-electricity causes heavy neural trauma to any living creature and artificial sentience alike. It's basically a reverse EMP grenade that gives targets PTSD.

Whilst no canon model exists for the Mindscrambler Grenade, it is heavily hinted that the small pouch next to the Ruststalker ammunition accessory model, may actually contain the grenades (The larger pouches obviously stores the ammunition for the Ruststalker's [[Flechette Blaster]]).

In 7th Edition, these things are AP4 Haywire Grenades that always wound on a 4+ (They become S3 when assaulting vehicles). [[Troll|This specifically isn't Poisoned, so you can screw with Monstrous/Gargantuan Creatures with that.]] As such, they are [[Awesome|pretty awesome.]]

====Stasis Grenade====
[[File:Ymir_Stasis_Bomb.PNG|150px|right|thumb|Stasis Grenade]]
A smaller variant of the Stasis Bomb called the '''Stasis Grenade''' although it is even more rarer somehow.

The Stasis Grenade works on a similar principle as its larger cousin. It emits a stasis-loop field around itself. Everything within the field exists in the same moment repeated over and over. Eventually, the grenade's power source is expended and the field deactivates. As their power source is rather small, the stasis field caused by an activated stasis grenade does not normally last for a long time, though the duration is normally long enough to cause a significant amount of battlefield disruption.

They were developed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] and therefore, stasis grenades are extremely rare and expensive to acquire. This and their specialized nature means their issue is limited to special Imperial agents rather than common soldiers. You compare this to the larger Stasis Bomb used and manufactured by the [[Dark Angels]] where the latter pumps out these techno-timey-whimey nukes like chicken nuggets. Suck it AdMech. There used to be a mass-produced variant used by the [[Space Wolves]]' [[Deathsworn]] called the Yimiria Class Stasis Bomb, which basically looked like a throwable hourglass with green stuff in it. Like all things, the Space Wolves eventually lost the knowledge to build more of these, but crunchwise, they were great defensive tools, which stack nicely with your ''Counter-attack (1)''.

Since they are rather bulky and delicate, it is not possible to fire stasis grenades from a launcher. Instead, they are typically deployed in a manner similar to that of melta bombs. So far, it seems that only the [[Deathwing Companions]] could carry them.

The only picture of a Stasis Grenade came from Warhammer 40,000 - Nemesis.

====Choke Gas Bomb====
[[File:Gas_Trap_Launcher.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Choke Gas Bomb]]
Somewhat akin to a tear gas.

The Choke Gas Bomb or sometimes known as the Choke Grenade, is a type of gaseous irritant used predominantly by [[House Escher]] as a way to incapacitate or debilitate a rival target. Whilst not designed as non-lethal, the Gang Members of Escher is known to use it for non-lethal purposes. When thrown, the grenade/bomb releases a gas which causes those who inhale it to choke.

Only those wearing respirators or armour which is completely isolated from the local atmosphere are safe from a choke attack. Those affected often fall to the floor and become incapacitated. [[Rogue Traders]] are also known to buy some of these weapons for non-lethal purposes as well. The [[Escher Cutter]] is known to drop large versions of these via the underslung Gas Trap Launcher.

On [[Necromunda]], Choke Gas counts under the Gas trait, which ignores armor entirely. To balance this, Gas weapons can be negated by common items like Respirators, which increase the would-be victim’s Toughness save against its effects. In addition, Gas attacks do not typically pin their targets in the process.

====Stasis Bomb====
[[File:Stasis_Bomb.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Stasis Bomb]]
The Stasis Bomb is a deadly archaic weapon only utilised by the [[Dark Angels]] Space Marine Chapter and the Successor Chapters of the Unforgiven. The Stasis Bomb is an archaic holdover from the [[Dark Age of Technology]], and is deployed by the Dark Angel aircraft such as the [[Ravenwing]] [[Dark Talon|Dark Talon]] that is a part of the armory of the Dark Angels' elite 2nd Company.

Basically a time bomb, the blast of a Stasis Bomb causes a degree of damage but, more importantly, [[Doctor Who|will momentarily halt the flow of time.]]

While the actual suspension of the normal flow of the space-time continuum is measured in mere milliseconds, this unnatural disruption to the time stream has lingering effects on those in close proximity to such a blast, causing gut-wrenching disorientation and slowing their reaction times, making them ripe for a good old fashion Dark Angel {{Blam|Blamming.}}
