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
Necrodermis: C'tan Shards have a 4+ Invulnerable save. If the C'tan Shard loses its last Wound, models within D6" of the C'tan Shard suffer a Strength 4, AP 1 hit.
Immune to Natural Law: C'tan Shards ignore the effects of Difficult and Dangerous Terrain while moving.
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.
Eternal Warrior: The model is immune to the effects of the Instant Death rule.
