Ordinary boyz--or any decent assault troops really--can kill fearless monstrous creatures using combination charges and "no retreat" wounds.

I used to do this routinely with my Ravenguard assault marines. Combo-charge the MC and the little guys, focus all your attacks on the little ones, and the hive tyrant or whatever winds up taking 10+ automatic wounds from a bunch of Str4 models.

I still think "no retreat" wounds are a better way to kill monstrous creatures, though.
