Monstrous Creature
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.
And They Shall Know No Fear
Space Marines automatically pass tests to regroup, and can take such tests even if the squad has been reduced to less than half strength by casualties, though all other criteria apply. Usually troops that regroup cannot move normally and always count as moving whether they do or not, but these restrictions do not apply to models subject to this special rule. If Space Marines are caught by a sweeping advance, they are not destroyed and will instead continue to fight normally. If this happens then the unit is subject to the No Retreat! rule in this round of close combat and might therefore suffer additional casualties.


Units which include Servitors are still subject to this rule, providing that the unit contains at least one Space Marine.

Melee Weapons
Nemesis Doomfist:

This is a Nemesis Force Weapon which follows all the rules for a Dreadnought Close Combat Weapon.

Abilities
The Aegis:

If an enemy Psyker attempts to target a model with the Aegis special rule (or a unit that contains a model with the Aegis special rule) he suffers a -1 Penalty to his Leadership for the purposes of his Psychic test. A psychic power that does not specifically target a unit with the Aegis special rule does not suffer this penalty, even if the unit with the Aegis special rule is affected by the psychic power.

Preffered Enemy (Daemons):

Units with this ability can always re-roll their rolls to hit in close combat against Daemons. This ability does not work when attacking vehicles without a Weapon Skill characteristic.

Psyker (Mastery Level 1):

This model is a Psyker who follows the rules for Psyker Mastery Level.

Psychic Power
Hammerhand:

This power is used during the Assault phase in either player's turn, after assault moves have been made, but before any blows have been struck. If the Psychic test is passed, all models in the unit (including independent characters) have +1 Strength until the end of the Assault phase. Note that this Strength bonus is applied before any other modifiers, such as for Nemesis Daemon hammers and so forth.

Dark Excommunication:

This power can be used during the Assault phase (in either player's turn) after assault moves have been completed, but before any blows are struck. If the Psychic test is passed, choose an enemy unit in base contact with the Grey Knight. Any Daemonic Gifts possessed by models in that unit cease to work until the end of the phase.
