Can a giant attack a single guy on the fulcrum?

Yes - however a lot of results dont do a lot....

In the building rules it states that monsters count as 5 models for attacking a building and monstrous infantry as 3. Since only one model may attack a Wizard on a fulcrum, wouldn't that preclude any monsters from ever being able to attack Wizards on Fulcrums. Aren't wizards too exposed to have to deal with Monsters? Clearly it was their intent to not have the monsters attack Fulcrums.

Monster is one model

That is not clearly their intent. The rules on page 28 specifically allow "only one model (of any troop type) from the attacking unit" to attack. The next bullet point talks about the wizard being immune to Stomps and Thunderstomps. Seems pretty clear monsters can attack a fulcrum.

Agreed with Red_Zeke. The idea of GW with Storm of Magic was to make you buy lots of shiny new monster through making them the best things to attack fulcrums....sigh.

They can, however they will quite often do nothing. Bagging or screaming are the best results really.

Giants are fantastic at attacking Fulcrums!

Yell and Bawl is the only dud since the wizard will not even suffer the -2 to his break test(stubborn in a building).
Jump up and Down will murder hero wizards and most lord wizards.
All of the Pick up events results in a dead wizard right through his +3 ward!
Swing with club is decent enough to knock a wound or two.
