Can a character on a monstrous mount take away rank bonuses if he charges in the flank or rear?

Unit strength 5 (in a single unit) is needed to remove rank bonuses. If the character + mount is US 5 or greater, then yes - they can take away rank bonuses.

... then turn to page 71 .... A monsters Unit strength is its starting wounds. Ridden monster are the same but get +1 for the character. Does you monster have 4 wounds? If so your at least US5

It is obvious that Scout cannot be a simple typo, so it must be a new, as yet undeclared rule. Perhaps it is intended to be published as one of the optional House Rules, or FAQs as GW call them.

Why not upgrade to Griffon (empire) or Hippogryph ( Bretonnians) with 4 wounds? (also just checking but aren't they just cavalry? I've nether codex at the moment)

I'm pretty sure that any 3 wound + mount is classified as a monstrous mount.
The regular pegasus knights are just flying cavalry.

Yep found it now. Mounts of 2 wounds or more are monstrous mount.

most disappointing model NOT in this category: The Juggernaut of Khorne! He earns a monster base for his efforts but no additional US....

You really, really dont want juggers to be a monstrous mount, makes them much more vulnerable.

That would be very nice to have Juggers as MM - then you couldn't put them in Bloodletter units. I swear short of Killing Blow, those are one of the most survivable units in the game . .. . .

Why couldn't you put them in Bloodletter units?

Last I checked, you couldn't put monsters in units . . . . unless I'm wrong because it's too early in the morning and my brain isn't working.
Actually I think it has something to do with the wounds it has - remember I can't join a Bloodthirster to a unit, nor a Carnosaur Lord.

Monsters without riders cannot join units. Otherwise they can.

Non-flying Monsters ridden by characters can join units. If the character dies, they're no longer eligible to join.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
In reference to the OP, yes a monster on character (if it totals US5 or more) can break ranks.
Note that NOT all US5+ units break ranks. Skirmishers (including Units of Flyers, like Peg knights) don't.
