Army Rules
Universal
- Arthropods: x
- When a unit with this special rule advances, count a roll of 1 and 2 as a roll of 3 to determine the distance it moves.
- For the Queen: x
- Q’ORL units that are within 6” of a Q’Orl Royalty unit automatically pass morale and combat attrition tests.
- Technological Genious: x
- Each time you roll an unmodified hit roll of 6 for an attack with a ranged weapon made by a model in this unit, that hit roll succeeds regardless of any modifiers. In addition, if the Strength of the attack is more than half the target’s Toughness, the attack automatically wounds the target.
Detachment Rules
- Nesting the Area: x
- If your army is Battle-forged, all Troops units in Q’Orl Detachments gain this ability, apart from Larva units. Such a unit that is within range of an objective marker (as specified in the mission) controls the objective marker even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy unit within range of the same objective marker has a similar ability, then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of it as normal.
- Hive Workers: x
- Units composed entirely of Q’Orl Larvae cannot benefit from any Swarmhood. In addition, Q’Orl Stratagems can only be used on these units if the Stratagem explicitly states so.
- Swarmhood Royalty Soldiers: x
- If your army is Battle-forged, all <Swarmhood> units in Q’Orl Detachments (excluding those in Super-heavy Auxiliary Detachments) gain a Hive Royalty, so long as every unit in that Detachment is from the same Swarmhood.
