Just a quick one for ya today. I've been playing a lot more against a lot more varied unit types and armies. Something I've commonly heard about both Walkers and Monstrous Creatures is that they always attack at Initiative in close combat with whatever weapons they have. Never questioned it because it made sense at the time, but on re-reading the rules on those unit types I can't find anything that allows them to ignore the Unwieldy rule.

Am I missing something here? There's a lot of Walkers/MCs swinging power fists like boxing gloves around here and I'm becoming confused. It would also be another actual reason to take blood talons instead of fists on a Furioso dreadnought....though that frag cannon is just too great to pass up most of the time.

HA! Perfect. There's a lot of cross-referencing in the BRB, at times I miss stuff like this. Thanks @loki619 :drinks:

Derp. Point out pg. 47, Charging Through Difficult Terrain to them:

...if at least one model in the charging unit moved through difficult terrain as part of its charge move, all of the unit's models must attack at Initiative step 1, regardless of other Initiative modifiers, even if the charging unit is not slowed by difficult terrain.

Yeah...Move Through Cover doesn't counteract the rules regarding charging through terrain aside from the -2 charge move modifier, so Monstrous Creatures are indeed reduced to I1 when charging through Difficult Terrain.

I'm confused by your statement @Mossy Toes.
