'''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.'''

'''Titanic Duel''' – Gains +1 WS and D3 additional attacks when fighting another Monstrous Creature or Vehicle
==== Massive Target (Vulnerability) ====
''The sheer size of a Monstrous Creature makes high-strength weaponry particularly devastating.''


• '''Demolish''' – Roll a dice; on a 4+, destroy one terrain feature within engagement range
* When a Monstrous Creature fails an armour or invulnerable save against a wound:
----'''Vulnerabilities'''
** It suffers 2 wounds if the attack's Strength is 2 or more points higher than its Toughness.
 
** It suffers 3 wounds if the attack's Strength is 4 or more points higher than its Toughness.
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.''
