Tyranid MC and Shooting question

[Lednera]

While I know that the Carnifex in 5th from what I have herd not being a nid player is much dead I was wondering how many weapons can a Carnifex or by that fact a Tyranid MC Creature shoot? I know dreadnoughts can do 2 or all of them i think is it the same for MC type Creatures? If not explain to me an please try to site both Nid codex pages and Basic Rule Book pages were I can find this answers if they are written.

Monstrous creatures can shoot two weapons per turn, provided they don't run (in which case they can't shoot any weapons). See pages 51 and 16 of the main rulebook.

Dreadnoughts have nothing to do with monstrous creatures. All walkers (including dreadnoughts) shoot as if they were stationary vehicles, provided they don't run (in which case they can't shoot any weapons). See page 72 of the main rulebook. This potentially means that a walker can shoot more than two weapons (if it has more than two weapons), or that a walker can shoot only one weapon (if it fires an ordnance weapon, or if it only has one weapon to begin with).

thanks mate, that clears up my confusion.

To further differentiate it, things like movement speeds and defensive weapons don't exist at all for monstrous creatures. It's just 2 weapons, and they count as relentless.

the new tyranid MCs have a new third weapon that doesn't count towards the normal 2.

What are you meaning? The Bio plasma attack? I thought that counted toward how many it can shoot. Back to the codex and rereading again. I havn't looked at the Carnifex builds yet, so can a Carni have 2 different shooting weapons? I keep reading those builds are dead. :p

Not bio-plasma but thorax weapons (don't know the english term). Tyrannofex for example has one.

The Monstrous Creature unit entry in the BRB would clear up any further questions, aside from codex-specific issues.

Not a word, if any of those counted as words.
