Monsters always fight individually; they can never join other models to form a unit, except when they are ridden by a character.

Each monster is, in effect, a unit of one model and it has a front (used to determine its arc of sight as normal), flanks and rear as normal (see Diagram 59.2 - Monster's Front, Flank & Rear). Monsters follow all the rules for normal units, except for the differences described in this section.
