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 wound on a 2+ and are Rending, 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+ and gain a re-roll if the weapons strength is higher than the targets toughness.

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.
