Thats spoken for then, but if you want a nice, generic upgrade for your big monster bug then both Adaptive Biology (5+ ignore wounds) and Heightened Senses (re-roll hits, Fight First) are very spicy. Surprisingly (but probably for the best for everyone else) the upgrades to melee have been a bit more restrained there are still boosts (the monstrous bonesword, in particular, goes to S+3 and AP-4), but the really big damage statlines of 2d3 and d3+3 are used pretty sparingly, and some options have gone down in damage.
