Also, monstrous creatures do not seem to have the extra d6 for Armor pen. anymore.

Thus no easy MC vs Vehicle 2d6 pen. (Though you get a +1 to the damage charts for AP 2)

Result: Carnifexes are not awesome against AV 14 in melee
Hive Tyrants are not so effective vs AV 10....

Specifically hive tyrants and str 6 MC.

I think the math for the 7 Atk, 10 Str should go

100% - (1/6)^7 = 99.99964%

chance to hit and auto pen an AV 10

since...one can't go over 100% for this sort of math.
