Monsterous creatures ignore difficult terrain, but do they ignore it when deep striking? The only reason I ask is because difficult is treated as dangerous when landing in it. Thanks in advance dakkaites.

#1 Monstrous, not Monsterous

#2 MC's do not ignore difficult terrain. See P.51 under 'Movement'

Monstrous creatures don't ignore terrain. They have the Move Through Cover special rule which lets them roll three dice and take the highest when moving through difficult terrain. They take dangerous terrain tests as normal.

MCs do not ignore difficult terrain, they have the "Move Through Cover" USR, so no, they will not ignore the terrain whilst deep striking.

I wish MCs ignored difficult terrain... that'd be awesome for Nids.

The only one I know of that ignore the effects of difficult terrain is the C'Tan shard but thats only when moving. Though as far as I can tell he also completely lacks the ability to deepstrike.
