Creature Fixes

With all the new Monstrous/Gargantuan creatures that have been released, there have been a lot of complaints made against it in the manner of the creature being mechanical and therefore, better classified as a Walker. This page aims to fix that, preferably without adjusting points costs.

Special Rule

• Mechanical: Models with this special rule are immune to the Poison, Fleshbane and Force special rules. However, attacks with the Haywire special rule are Rending as well, attacks with the Armourbane or Melta (fired within half range) special rules cause Instant Death on a roll of 6 To Wound and the Lance special rule will wound on a 4+ minimum.

The simplest fix is a special rule to represent a model with a mechanical nature. Give it to Necrons, Battlesuits, Mechanicum machines, servitors and anything else that's appropriate.

Creatures to Walkers
