Carab Culln takes most of the generic leviathan nerfs (see below), and also loses out on both his feel no pain aura and most of the interest from the death-hold special rule – it no longer lets you hit for mortal wounds and simply lets the heavy bolter fire with no penalty at units in engagement range.
