'''Some creatures are just too big to fit into the ordinary Infantry unit category. These are towering giants that are capable of crushing a tank – like the Tyranid Carnifex, a creature bioengineered and evolved to become a living battering ram. While Monstrous Creatures use many of the Infantry rules, their size and destructive capability make them a lot more dangerous.'''

At the end of the Charge Phase, one Monstrous Creature per turn may perform one of the following abilities:

• '''Stomp''' – Inflicts 2D6 hits at S: User AP:- on an enemy unit they are in combat with

• '''Titanic Duel''' – Gains +1 WS and D3 additional attacks when fighting another Monstrous Creature or Vehicle

• '''Demolish''' – Roll a dice; on a 4+, destroy one terrain feature within engagement range

----'''Vulnerabilities'''

Monstrous Creatures suffer additional wounds when failing saves against high-Strength weapons:

• '''2 wounds''' instead of 1 – when the weapon's Strength is 2 points higher than the creature's Toughness

• '''3 wounds''' instead of 1 – when the weapon's Strength is 3 or more points higher than the creature's Toughness

----'''Example:'''

''A Carnifex fails its save against an overcharged plasma gun (Strength 8). Instead of deducting a single wound, you deduct 2 wounds. It then suffers a wound from a Lascannon (Strength 9), which inflicts 3 wounds on the Carnifex.''
