Just been looking in my shiny new Codex, and a thought struck me...is there anything preventing a Monstrous Creature embarking a Transport?
Don't have my 40k rulebook to hand, so having to ask.
If there isn't, I reckon a Cronos mounted on a Raider could be good for a laugh. At least, until the FAQ....
I mainly ask because I seem to recall the Craftworld codex specifically excluding the Wraithlord from such shenanigans...

Yes. You have to be type "infantry" in order to be allowed in a transport. MCs aren't infantry, they're MCs.
To further clarify: Check out page 66 of the BGB under Transport Capacity. They actually list this twice and the second time, it gets it's own special paragraph

guess transport's too generic of a term;
Guess a MC cannot get into a vehicle
although it can get into another MC

In 40k the general rule is only infantry can be transported ... however specifically there are many rules that let you transport non infantry. Blood angels can transport jump infantry and dreads, Tyranids can transport MC ... in Apocalypse, super heavies can transport almost anything.
But you need a rule that lets you; otherwise it’s just the infantry that can get in.

Well, if you equip a model with a webway portal and put them in a raider while holding that Chronos in reserve...
nah, it's all just semantics.

Not to muddy the waters but Monstrous Creatures ARE infantry, just a specialized type. Like Jump Infantry.

No, sorry, they're not.
Infantry, Jump Infantry, Monstrous Creatures, Bikes, etc... are all distinct Types of units. They share some similar rules, but are each different types.
