SpecialChitinous Body

A Carnifex throws its Armour Save on 2D6 rather than on one, and a 2D6 roll of 3+ turns the damage aside. A Save Modifier counts against that throw as against any other, so a powerful weapon cuts the throw down sharply. Terminator Armour is thrown the same way.

SpecialCrush Attack

A Carnifex makes four attacks at Strength 7 in Hand-to-Hand Combat. It may instead make one attack alone, which strikes at Strength 10.
