''Monstrous Creatures are towering behemoths of the battlefield, capable of unleashing immense firepower and crushing their foes in close combat.''

~~== Shooting ==~~

'''Special Rules''': A Monstrous Creature has the following special rules: ['''Fear'''], ['''Move Through Cover'''], ['''Relentless'''], and ['''Smash'''].

Monstrous ~~Creatures can fire all of their weapons each Shooting phase – they must~~, ~~of course~~, ~~fire at the same target. They may never Go to Ground~~, ~~voluntarily or otherwise~~.

== ~~Vulnerabilities~~ ==

==== Shooting ====

Monstrous Creatures suffer 2 wounds instead of 1 wound when failing a save against a weapon that has a Strength characteristic equal to 2 more than its Toughness Characteristic. It instead suffers 3 wounds instead of 1 wound when failing a save against a weapon with a Strength Characteristic equal to 3 or higher than its Toughness characteristic.

~~''Example:~~ A ~~Carnifex fails~~ its ~~save against an overcharged plasma gun that has Strength 8. Instead of deducting a single wound from~~ the ~~model~~, ~~you would deduct 2 wounds instead~~. ~~It then suffers a wound from a Lascannon that has Strength 9~~. ~~This inflicts 3 wounds on that Carnifex~~.''

* A Monstrous Creature can fire all of its ranged weapons in the same Shooting phase, even if they are different types.

* All weapons must target the same enemy unit.

* They are too ferocious or single-minded to Go to Ground.
