All monstrous creatures have the ‘move through cover’ special rule. 


Instead of firing a single weapon, monstrous creatures can fire two of their weapons once per Shooting phase. They must, of course, fire both of them at the same enemy target. In addition, monstrous creatures have the ‘relentless’ special rule.


Unless otherwise specified in their special rules, monstrous creatures cannot go to ground, voluntarily or otherwise. In addition, for a monstrous creature to be in cover, at least 50% of its body has to be in cover from the point of view of the majority of the firing models. Also, standing in area terrain does not automatically confer a cover save to monstrous creatures – the 50% rule takes precedence. Cover for them works exactly as for vehicles. As usual, if you cannot clearly tell if 50% of the model’s body is covered, modify its cover save by –1.


All wounds inflicted in close combat by a monstrous creature ignore armour saves, just like those from a power weapon. In addition, monstrous creatures roll an additional D6 for armour penetration (2D6 + Strength) when attacking a vehicle in close combat.

Profiles:

Abilities
Random Attacks: A Talos has D6 Attacks (plus the bonus for assaulting, etc). Roll separately to determine how many attacks it makes each round of combat.
Night Vision: When the Night Fighting mission special rule is in use, such models may choose to re-roll the test to determine how far they can see, but must abide by the new result. Characters with this rule confer it onto any unit they join, as long as they are part of the unit. Units with this rule confer it onto any characters joining them, as long as they are part of the unit.
Power from Pain: Whenever a Dark Eldar unit with this rule destroys a non-vehicle enemy unit, it immediately gains a 'pain token'. Place a marker with that unit; a coin or other trophy will do. Each pain token confers a special rule to the entire unit, as shown in the list below. For example, a unit with one pain token has the Feel No Pain rule, one with two pain tokens has Feel No Pain and Furious Charge, etc. It might happen that several of your units are involved in a combat against one or more enemy units, which are destroyed because of the assault's results. In this case, you receive one pain token per enemy unit destroyed, and then randomly assign them amongst your units in that combat. Note that pain tokens can be gained by other means - some units even begin the game with one! 1 - Feel No Pain 2 - Furious Charge 3 or more - Fearless If a Dark Eldar unit is joined by one or more characters with pain tokens, all the pain tokens for the unit and characters that have joined it are pooled. If an Independent Character leaves a unit with one or more pain tokens, you must divide them as equally as possible. The owning player decides who gets any remaining tokens.
Fearless: Fearless troops automatically pass all Morale and Pinning tests they are required to take, and will never fall back. They can however go to ground voluntarily. This special rule is gained by any independent character joining a fearless unit. However, as long as a fearless character stays with a unit that is not fearless, he loses this special rule. If a unit that is falling back suddenly gains this rule, it will automatically regroup at the beginning of its next Movement phase, regardless of all normal restrictions on regrouping. Note: units with the Fearless ability are subject to the No Retreat! rule.
Move Through Cover: Units with this rule roll an extra D6 when rolling to move through difficult terrain. In most circumstances this will mean that they roll three D6 and pick the dice with the highest score.
