Hello this might be a really stupid question but I cant find anyhting in the forum (which might imply the stupid-level of it).

In 5th edition when I played with my friends (I only play with friends) monstrous creatures and big deamons (blood thirster, deamon princes etc) always hit with AP2-attacks in melee. This could have been house-ruled since I dont own a copy of 5th edition, however I cant find it in 6th edition rules.

Has it been removed? or was it never even there? or can someone point me to a pagenumber?

In 5th, Monstrous Creatures ignored armor saves, which is not technically AP 2 but the difference was irrelevant in 5th.

In 6th, Monstrous Creatures get AP 2 from the Smash rule, in the USR section.

thanks, I see it now

I was playing tyranids yesterday and we couldnt find it. He played a very monster heavy list with around 7 big monsters. We played with AP2 just because it seemed ridiculous otherwise.

And just to clarify the big daemons are monstrous creatures. So they benefit from the ap2.

What if you give that Deamon a weapon like in the Codex Deamons with fate weaver and his staff.

Still AP2, as per Smash
