Codex - Q'Orl: /tg/'s 9th Edition

This article is awesome. Do not fuck it up.

The Q'Orl, also known scientifically as Bestiola Superior, are a type of intelligent, advanced insectoid aliens that lived in the galaxy and were native to the Swarmworld Loqiit, located in the Segmentum Pacificus.

Army Rules

Universal

• Arthropods: The Q’Orl are a race of arthropod insectoids that resemble, to an extent, giant spiders and scorpions from Terra. This gives them a speed much higher than what their chitinous exterior leads to thinking.

When a unit with this special rule advances, count a roll of 1 or 2 as a roll of 3 to determine the distance the unit moves. In addition, units with this special rule are never slowed down by Difficult Ground.

• For the Queen: The Q'Orl live and die for the sole purpose of serving their precious Queen, she who stepped up to the task after the Empire was almost lost as a consequence to the Eldar stealing away their older Queen.

Q’Orl units that are within 6” of a Hive Royalty unit can use that unit's Leadership characteristic instead of their own when taking Morale tests.

• Technological Genius: Q'Orl sophisticated technology comes from the unique usage of the biofluid extracted from the eggs the Queen lays. This fluid has an immense electrical potentiality, and when stimulated produces enough current to melt even metals.

Attacks made by Q’Orl units can never suffer negative modifiers to their wound rolls or be forced to wound a flat roll which is worse than what they would originally require. In addition, if the Strength of an attack made by a Q’Orl unit is more than double the target’s Toughness, the attack automatically wounds the target.

Detachment Rules

• Hive Hierarchy: In the rest of the galaxy, hierarchy is a fluid thing. A commissar could give orders to a general, a cadre leader could tell an Ethereal that they must reconsider their actions, a Hive Guard may be the strongest willed amongst their kin, but for the Q'Orl, everything is set in stone. In imperial society, even a beggar has the chance of become a high lord of terra. It is unlikely, but for humanity, everything is possible. For the Q'Orl, a worker will always be a worker, an engineer will always be an engineer, while a prince, will always be a prince. It is the Q'Orl's ultimate weakness, their hierarchy holds them back from true greatness.

When mustering your army, if it contains the Hive Queen, that model must be selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a Hive Prince, that model must be selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a Hive Commander, that model must be selected as your Warlord. Otherwise, if your army contains a Hive Lieutenant, that model must be selected as your Warlord. If your army contains none of the listed models, select your Warlord as normal.

• Hive Swarmhood: The ranks inside the Swarmhood are extremely well defined and understood. If a superior orders you to do something, you do it, no question asked. This strangely leads to an extreme morale increase, because the Q'Orl fully believe that the closest an entity is to the Queen, the more absolutely sacred that being is.

If your army is Battle-forged, all <Swarmhood> units in Q’Orl Detachments (excluding those in Super-heavy Auxiliary Detachments) gain a Swarmhood, so long as every unit in that Detachment is from the same Swarmhood.

• Hive Workers: Larvae, while the very basic form and completely necessary for the species survival, are always seen as inferior beings in the Swarmhood. They often get punched, kicked, eaten, and/or killed for no real reason.

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.

• Objective Secured: While not able to utilize Warp travel, the Q'Orl are by no mean not interested in expansion. When they find new suitable places for the Swarmhood, they will fight with teeth and claws to keep it.

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.

• Royalty of the Swarm: A Q'Orl swarm is made up of uncountable numbers of individuals, all grinding out their own existences as part of the vast machine which is the Q'Orl empire. The Q'Orl royalty however, sit separately to these workings, and instead spend their time overseeing the vast workings before themselves.

Hive Royalty units can be included in a Q'Orl Detachment without preventing other units in that Detachment from gaining a Swarmhood.

Swarmhoods

• Afelhuk - The Scavenging Hive Afelhuk was the second Swarmhood ever created by the old Queen. The Q'Orl there are completely sure about one thing and one thing only: dying for the Queen is the best death one can hope for.

When a model in a Afelhuk unit is removed from the battle as the result of an enemy attack, that model can immediately make a shooting attack as if it were the shooting phase, ignoring all modifiers.

• Alakyrr - Assault Hive Alakyrr was the first Swarmhood created by the new Queen. Here, Q'Orl are grown to be stronger and faster, perfecting their bodies to form complex combat styles. While completely atypical for a Q'Orl to focus on melee combat, this Swarmhood has proven multiple times that half a ton of chitin and claws slamming against enemies works very well.

All Alakyrr units add 1 to their Weapon Skill rolls in the Fight Phase in a turn where they charged, were charged or performed a heroic intervention during the previous charge phase. In addition, all Alakyrr units add 1 to their Attacks characteristic.

• Gook - Blitz Warfare Hive Gook is the only Swarmhood that doesn't have a real place to call home. Gook's Q'Orls are always traveling to search places suitable for the Hive to grow in, and they excel at doing that because of a strain in their DNA that alters their growth and evolution to produce stronger and more flexible tendons, giving them faster speed.

All Gook units add 6” to their advance rolls instead of rolling a d6. In addition, Heavy weapons used by Gook units in a turn in which they advanced become Assault weapons instead.

• Loqiit - The Queen’s Personal Army The original Swarmhood and the current location of the new Queen. This is where all the larvae are born and where the Queen's personal army stays. It's the most protected place in the Q'Orl Empire, and the Q'Orl there are the strongest ones of all the hives.

All Loqiit units gain 1 Toughness and 1 Strength when within 12” of a Loqiit Hive Royalty. In addition, Loqiit units can ignore lost wounds on a roll of 6+. However, when Loqiit units are more than 12" away from a Hive Royalty unit then roll a D6 at the start of each turn for that unit; on a 4+ that unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

• Semmiheu - Crafter Hive Semmiheu is a Swarmhood almost completely composed of Engineers. They specialize in perfecting the usage of the biofluid extracted by the Queen's egg, to attempt to create more deadly weaponry, and to reduce the waste of biofluid per bullet as much as possible, because of its natural limited amount.

Change the Technological Genius special rule for Semmiheu units to read:

"Attacks made by Semmiheu units can never suffer negative modifiers to their wound rolls or be forced to wound a flat roll which is worse than what they would originally require. In addition, Semmiheu units always wound on a roll of 5+ or better. Finally, if the Strength of an attack made by a Semmiheu unit is more than double the target’s Toughness, the attack automatically wounds the target."

Specialist Detachments

Court of War (1 CP)

One of the highest echelons of Q'Orl warfare is the Court of War. However, unlike other functions within Q'Orl warfare, it is not a permanent group of individuals, in order to ensure that no one Q'Orl is ever given too much power for too long. With the position however comes immense power, giving its noble members the resources and authority to simply make things happen. However, with such authority comes the expectation that the Court of War shall conduct itself with utmost perfection.

All Q'Orl Hive Prince and Royal Guards units in this Specialist Detachment gain the Court of War keyword.

Warlord Trait:

• Master of War: The court of war provides its overall commander immense power. Such a warlord has the power to make anything that is materially possible happen.

At the start of each of your Command phase roll a D3. The first Stratagem you use that turn has its Command point cost reduced by that amount.

Stratagems:

• Superbly Planned (1 CP): The strategies employed by the hive princes are thought out in terrifying details, making it seem as if they can gaze into the future.

Use this Stratagem at any point of the battle. The next Stratagem that targets a Court of War unit within 12" of a Court of War Warlord has its cost reduced by 2 Command points.

Relic:

• Nanobot Lance: An intricate series of ducts and storage tanks which are grafted onto the exoskeleton of its bearer, in which is contained one of the many varients of Q'Orl nanobot. These nanobots are fired as a dense cloud at an enemy unit using the bearers own electro weaponry, and guided by careful eddies in reality generated by the bots. The nanobots are designed to generate a static charge between themselves to create an immensely powerful magnetic field. Once the bots hit their target they activate this magnetic field, locking the target in place. The effect is relatively short term, as the effect drains the nanobots of their reserve charge very quickly, but a relatively short time is a very long time on the battlefield.

During the bearer's Shooting phase you may elect for it to use its Nanobot Lance instead of firing normally. If so, select an enemy unit within 24", ignoring line of sight; that unit may not move or advance in its next Movement phase or charge in its next Charge phase. If the selected unit has the Titanic keyword then instead it subtracts 1" from its movement, advance and charge distances until your next Shooting phase.

Specialist Formations

Special Formations are a special kind of detachment that is made up of variable and specific units. Each formation has to be made inside its own detachment and counts as an organized detachment. Stratagems found in this section can only be used on units from the correspondent formation.

Queens Entourage (2 CP)

Like the titans of the Adeptus Titanicus, the Q'Orl hive Queen does not travel and enter battle by itself. There are retainers, bodyguards, cleaners, masters of logistics, and a thousand others who are needed to ensure that the Queen is kept alive and well.

Composition:

• 1 Hive Queen
• 3 Royal Guards units
• 3-6 Hive Soldiers units

Restrictions:

• All units in the formation must remain with 12” of the formations Hive Queen.

Effects:

• All enemy units within 24" of the Hive Queen may not ignore modifiers when making morale or combat attrition tests.
• All Royal Guards units in this formation ignore damage received on a 5+ instead of on just a 6 when using their Shielded Chitin special rule.
• All Hive Soldiers units in this formation gain the Absolute Devotion special rule.

Absolute Devotion: While a friendly Hive Royalty is within 3" of this unit, enemy units cannot target that unit with ranged weapons. In addition, this unit can perform a Heroic Intervention as if it was a Character and can do so against an enemy unit that charged a friendly Hive Royalty that is within 3" of this unit. In this case, the enemy unit may only attack this unit instead of the unit they charged.

Stratagems

Universal

Battle Tactics Stratagems

• Larvae Support (2 CP): The Hive Queen is capable of laying tens of thousand eggs in an extremely short period of time. While the larva mortality rate is extremely high, the sheers numbers of larvae make up for it.

Use this Stratagem when a Larva unit in your army is removed from the battle. Place a unit of 10 Larvae within 6" of the Hive Queen and more than 1” away from any enemy unit.

Epic Deeds Stratagems

• Ruthless Cruelty (1 CP): Oftentimes, it's best to remind the lesser beings of the hive what they are fighting for, and especially what happens when they don't meet their Queen's desires.

Use this Stratagem during the Morale phase. Select one Q'Orl Soldiers unit within 6" of a Hive Prince; that unit suffers D6 mortal wounds but every friendly Q'Orl Soldiers model whose unit is within 12" of that Hive Prince adds 2 to its Combat Attrition roll.

Requisition Stratagems

• Biotechnological Clock Setting (1 CP): Q’Orl Technologists need to implant in their bodies a machine, inches away from their heart, which pumps pheromones in the bloodstream. While not highly effective, this does increase the Q’Orl awareness. Somehow.

Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one Engineer unit and roll a Biotechnological Clock Overdrive check; that unit gains that buff for the rest of the battle. The same buff can't be gained again and re-roll results of 6.

• Harden Up (3 CP): Because of their harsh life, larvae often end up growing scarred, damaged, and are unable to fully form their empowered chitinous exterior. This is partially the reason why Q’Orls prefer ranged combat instead of assaults, being that the various cracks in their shells are often more exploitable in a brawl than they are from messy ranged fire. Sometimes though, certain lucky larvae grow and evolve without being damaged, forming complete and more compact exoskeletons.

Use this Stratagem before the battle. Select one Soldiers unit in your army, that unit gains the Enhanced Chitin special rule for the rest of the battle.

Enhanced Chitin: This unit has a 4+ Invulnerable save. In addition, roll a die each time this model would lose a wound; on a 6 the wound is not lost.

• Setting the webs (1 CP): When the Q'Orl declare something their territory, they are most likely going to cover it in steel-hard webs to increase the maneuverability and protection they get from that area.

Use this Stratagem during deployment. Select a single piece of terrain other than a fortification. Q'Orl units in that terrain gain a 6+ Invulnerable save, including Larvae units.

• Queen's Blessing (1 CP): The Queen always has prizes for her most loyal Q'Orl. Sometimes, when a Royalty Q'Orl gets granted a gift directly by the Queen, he also gets immediately promoted to the rank of Hive Prince.

Use this Stratagem before the battle, when you are mustering your army, if your Warlord has the Q'Orl keyword. Select one Q'Orl Character model in your army and give them one Relic (this must be a Relic they can have). Each Relic in your army must be unique, and you cannot use this Stratagem to give a model two Relics. You can only use this Stratagem once, unless you are playing a Strike Force battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem twice), or an Onslaught battle (in which case you can use this Stratagem three times).

Strategic Ploy Stratagems

• Larva Bomb (1 CP): Once the Q’Orl discovered that the larvae, when electrified through a direct connection to the batteries that aliment their weaponry, become highly unstable, they also discovered that it's because they are, partially, filled with the same bioliquid found in the eggs. The larvae rarely survive being connected directly to batteries, especially because the Q’Orl have discovered that supercharged larvae are highly explosive, and as such, they are at times used as living grenades.

Select a non-Larvae unit that is within 3” of a Larvae unit. For this Shooting phase, the unit can sacrifice a Larvae model to shoot a Larva Bomb that has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Larva Bomb	12"	Heavy D3	4	0	D3	An enemy hit by this weapon has a penalty of 1 to their hit rolls in their following shooting phase. If the enemy is a Psyker, a successful wound also inflicts 1 mortal wound.

• Marching to safety (1 CP): Even considering the abusive nature of their superiors, Q'Orl soldiers feel much safer when closer to them. They believe that the protection a high-ranking Q'Orl can give will grant them nigh invulnerability.

Use this Stratagem at the beginning of any Morale Phase. Select one Soldiers unit in your army, if that unit is within 6" of a friendly HQs unit, then its models subtract 1 from their Combat Attrition test. If it's more than 6" away from such unit, and it's not within Engagement Range of an enemy, it can move 3” towards the nearest friendly HQs unit. This unit cannot enter the Engagement Range of an enemy unit.

Wargear Stratagems

• Enhanced Optics (1 CP): Q'Orl eyes are, sometimes, directly modified by the engineers of the hive. While the result is clearly better, this leaves the subject Q'Orl in a state where they are, at times, blind, while in other time-frames their vision is extremely enhanced.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase when a Q'Orl unit in your army declares a shooting attack. Increase the Strength characteristic of all the ranged weapons in that unit by 1.

• Heating Up (1 CP): The Biofire Ejectors are both hated and loved by the Q'Orl Fire Spewers: who doesn't love spraying your enemies with ignited, highly corrosive, and extremely electrical bioliquid that can easily melt living beings in mere instants? The problem is that it wastes a ton of biofluid. Engineers love this weapon so much that they spend extreme lengths of time just to make it even 1% more efficient.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase when a Fire Spewers Team unit in your army declares a shooting attack. Increase the Strength of the unit's Biofire Ejectors by 1 for the rest of the Shooting phase.

• Overwhelming Voltage (1 CP): When correctly powered through the use of mini batteries implanted directly into Q’Orl weaponry, the bioliquid becomes electrified to voltages so extreme that they melt metal just from the pure excitement of atoms when they come in contact with such amperage.

Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase. Select a unit equipped with weapons from the Voltage Weapons list; until the end of your Shooting phase, the weapons generate one extra hit roll whenever it generates extra hit rolls.

Swarmhood Specific

• Afelhuk - Strategic Ploy Stratagem - Return in Kind (2 CP): Those who dare to hurt the swarm will receive the retribution they deserve.

Use this Stratagem during any phase a Afelhuk Infantry unit loses any number of models. That Afelhuk Infantry unit may then make a number of shooting attacks or melee attacks equal to the number of models it lost during that phase.

• Alakyrr - Strategic Ploy Stratagem - Frenetic Charge (2 CP): The Alakyrr only want one thing: charging into battle to prove their worth to their Queen, and the sooner, the better.

Use this Stratagem in your Movement phase when you roll the dice for an Advancing Alakyrr unit. You can double the number you roll and add that total to their Move characteristic for that Movement phase, rather than following the normal rules for Advancing. That unit can charge during the turn even if it advanced, but if it does so, roll a die for each model in the unit; the unit suffers a mortal wound for each roll of 6.

• Gook - Battle Tactic Stratagem - They're Down, But There's Always More! (3 CP): There's no end to the frenzied march of the Gook. Even when the enemy thinks they've stopped, they soon discover to be the next victims on their path.

Use this Stratagem at the end of the fight phase if a Gook unit has slain an enemy unit in the same fight phase. That Gook unit can immediately declare a charge on an enemy unit as if it was the charge phase, and may then make a full round of melee attacks if they succeed in the charge.

• Loqiit - Battle Tactic Stratagem - You are Below Our Notice (1 CP): Loqiit consider most to be beneath them. Why would they care about an enemy who made a charge against them? They have their own job to complete, why would they care? This complete disregard for their enemy can be incredibly off-putting. Even an imperial conscript, when they being forced at bolt pistol point to charge an enemy, at least expects their enemy to look them in the eye as they are wiped from existence. But the Loqiit don't even give them that much.

Use this Stratagem during the Charge phase, when a Loqiit unit is declared as the target of a charge by an enemy unit; for the duration of this Charge phase, all enemy units charging against the selected Loqiit unit must subtract 2" from their charge distances.

• Semmiheu - Wargear Stratagem - Mortis Requisition Nanobots (1 CP): A dead Q'Orl is of no use, the best it can do is to serve as ammunitions for those worthy of being alive.

Use this Stratagem whenever a friendly Semmiheu unit is slain within 6" of another Semmiheu unit. The surviving Semmiheu unit adds 1 to the Ap characteristic of 1 of its weapons for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack.

Warlord Traits

Universal

• 1: Dig Deep to Divert: Enemy tacticians have found themselves outmaneuvered by some Q'Orl warlords, who used their underlings to dig them tunnels in order to redistribute their significant firepower, to their opponent's detriment.

At the start of the first battle round, but before the first turn begins, you can remove your Warlord from the battlefield along with 1 other friendly <Swarmhood> unit (or Q'Orl unit if your Warlord is a Hive Prince) and set them up again following normal deployment rules.

• 2: Genetically Re-Sculpted Chitin: With the latest developments in molecular sculpting, Q'Orl engineers have modified this warrior's hide to be harder than cherimite.

Reduce any damage inflicted on your Warlord by 1 (to a minimum of 1). If an attack made against this Warlord would have a Damage characteristic of 1, then the attack subtracts 1 from its wound roll.

• 3: High Royalty: Those who stand close to this fine specimen of the royalty of the hive feel inspired, and almost forced, to push their limits to conquer more ground for their Queen.

Hive Prince unit only. Friendly Q'Orl units within 12" of this unit count as being 2 models instead of 1 while using their Objective Secured Detachment rule.

• 4: Leading from the Front of the Swarm: This commander rides the tides of war and launches into the fight firsthand. Even though his courage and ferocity shine, sacrificable cannon fodder is never too far away to shield him when the time comes.

During the fight phase in which your Warlord charged, was charged, or performed a heroic intervention during the previous charge phase then your Warlord's attack characteristic is increased by 2. In addition, hit rolls of 6+ made by your Warlord during the Fight phase count as 2 hits instead of 1. If your Warlord already possesses such an ability/weapon with such an ability then it instead adds 1 to its hit rolls when using that ability/weapon.

• 5: Royal Heritage: This Prince has been chosen directly by the Queen to lead her conquering armies to glory.

Hive Prince unit only. This Warlord can be equipped with two Relics instead of only one. It may not get a second Warlord trait after getting this Trait.

• 6: Technological Tinkering: With his higher intelligence, this warrior modified its weapons to grant him additional strength on the battlefield.

During the Shooting phase, your Warlord may re-roll all dice when determining the number of shots they fire with their weapons.

Swarmhood Specific

• Afelhuk - Maximum Efficiency: There are those warlords who look upon the vast swarms of soldiers who die at their command, and look at them not as lost numbers in a grinding battle, but instead as a potential boon to further the hive.

Roll a D6 each time a friendly Afelhuk Infantry unit is slain within 6” of this unit; on a 4+ this unit regains 1 previously lost wound. If this unit has no missing wounds then instead add 1 to its saving throws until the end of the current turn (this effect does not stack).

• Alakyrr - Furious Brutality: Because of the cracks in the chitin, melee combat is generally avoided by the Q'Orl. It only makes sense to use its own ferociousness to make sure the enmy has no chance to fight back.

Add 1 to the wound rolls for your Warlord in a turn in which it charged.

• Gook - Hyperactive Mind and Body: Gook commanders are notorious for their inability to keep still; they are trained from birth to veer on the move. On the battlefield they rocket from skirmish to skirmish, smashing any opposition then flashing onto the next foe. As long as they keep moving, they are unstoppable, and their biology and psychology cannot handle sitting still. When they do stop, something doesn't seem to match up in reality, they become jittery, uncomfortable, and even manic. In extreme cases, they can even become self-destructive, so desperate is their desire to keep moving, to flow with the tides of entropy and motion.

Add 6” to your Warlord's Movement characteristic and add 1 to its saving throws. However, your Warlord must always Advance during your Movement phase, and if there is ever a situation in which they cannot do so, then they automatically suffer D6 mortal wounds.

• Loqiit - Genetic and Bionic Perfection: The shields of the queen are to be superior to every other Q'Orl. If their biology alone doesn't meet the expectations, then extensive genetic and technological modifications will grant them the strength they deserve.

Add 1 to this Warlords Strength, Toughness, and Wounds characteristics.

• Semmiheu - Implanted Ordnance Transponder: The Q'Orl have long battled against the issue that, despite how excellent their weaponry is, they could never efficiently deal with enemies that hide out of sight or out of range. The Ordnance Transponder solved this issue, by using a commander's own brain and personal computer to triangulate an enemy's precise location. This is then relayed to the targeting optics of all the units under their command, linking all their computers to provide a targeting solution that would be far beyond even the tau to achieve. Armies against this piece of high technology have been routed by the simple terror of being picked off, unit by unit, by a foe they may not even be able to see.

Each Shooting phase, your Warlord may declare that it will not fire any of its weapons, and instead select 1 enemy unit within 24" and within its line of sight. Friendly Semmiheu units within 12" of your Warlord may add 24" to the weapon range if they target that unit. If the enemy unit is already within range of a unit's weapons, then that unit may target it even if it's not in its line of sight.

Queen's Treasures

Universal

• Hyper Focused Arrays: Through the usage of a special tube made by condensed bioliquid, it is possible to put much more power behind each bioliquid bullet shot.

Increase the Range characteristic of all this model’s ranged weapons by 6” and enemy units do not gain the benefit of Light Cover against ranged attacks made by this unit.

• Hyper Voltage Rifle: A unique relic from the past Reign. This was built with the use of the last gift from the old Queen: a strange stone, which continuously produces small amounts of her bioliquid. The difference in strength is absolutely immense.

This Relic replaces a High Voltage Rifle and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Hyper Voltage Rifle	24"	Assault 6	4	-3	2	Every hit roll of 5+ with this weapon generates an extra 2 hit rolls.

• Light Bending Cuirass: Some Q'Orl are granted a single bath in the Queen's bioliquid. This causes them immense pain, as their exoskeleton almost melts from the pure electrical shock the bath gives them. Those who survive, emerge with a shiny white cuirass, which bends the light that touches it in ways that make the Q'Orl barely visible to inexperienced eyes.

Enemy units targeting this model with a ranged attack suffer a penalty of 1 to their hit rolls. If the firing enemy unit is within 6" of the bearer of this Relic then any missed attacks hit the firing unit instead.

• Mechandendrite Cloak: A cloak made up of a swarm of mechanical tendrils, which flows behind the wearer in an intimidating, black cloud. Initially, the cloak was crafted as a tool of statecraft, to intimidate other nobles by slowly encroaching a pure black shadow around them, scary even for a Q'Orl noble the size of a greater demon. It was quickly discovered that the cloak could also harm others, becoming a tool of state assignation, where the cloak would lash out and dissolve an enemy and the wearer's command. Unfortunately, the original creator was killed by a bearer of the cloak in a fit of short-sightedness, to ensure that no other cloak could be created.

The bearer of this Relic must subtract 1 from all armor save throws they make. However, they gain a 4+ Invulnerable save (or they add 1 to their Invulnerable save if they already have one) and at the start of each Fight phase, each enemy unit within 3" of the bearer of this Relic suffers 1 mortal wound.

• Memento of the Old Queen: A piece of the old Queen's exoskeleton, left in the hands of the Grand Warrior Kurrik while he was attempting to stop alone the Aeldari from stealing her away.

Roll a die each time you or your opponent use a Stratagem; on a 6 you gain one Command Point.

• Metaphysical Biological Clock: The heart pump that once belonged to a mad Technologist warped by Chaos. The strength it bestows is great, but the cost of such power is even greater.

Hive Technologist only. Change the model's Biological Clock Overdrive special rule to the following:

Metaphysical Biological Clock: At the beginning of each friendly or enemy Command Phase, this model suffers 1 mortal wound. In addition, roll a die; for the remainder of the turn, this unit gains one of the following buffs based on the number rolled:

1) +6” Movement but may not advance

2) Add 1 to this units wound rolls

3) +3 Strength and -1 Toughness

4) +3 Toughness and -1 Strength

5) +8 Attacks and -1 to hit rolls

6) Roll 3d6 and gain three bonuses instead of 1, if the result is 6 again, re-roll the die.

• The Limpet Crown: A lesser form of Q'Orl rather than a relic, this creature clamps itself on the skull of the bearer and drills tendrils into its brain. This invasive procedure gives the host access to the creature's senses and memories which it carries from previous bearers. However, the crown still has a sense of self-preservation, and will abandon its host to their fate and flee if death is near, in a process which is even more traumatic than its original merging.

The bearer of this Relic adds 1 to all their hit and wound rolls. However, when the bearer of this Relic drops below a quarter of their maximum wound count (rolling up as necessary) then the bearer losses this relic. When they do so roll a D6; on a 2+ the bearer suffers 1 mortal wound, on a roll of 6 they suffer D3 mortal wounds instead.

• Warp Flow Stabilizer: Q'Orl haven't developed any kind of tech that allows them to tap into the powerful energies of the Immaterium yet. In recent times, though, the study of imperial warp-based technology has made possible the creation of small devices capable of altering the chaotic flow of nearby warp entities. An important role was played by a hive technologist fallen corrupt by the demonic terrors.

Enemy Psykers must subtract 2 from Psychic tests and Deny the witch tests they take if they are within 12" of this unit. In addition, once a turn, the bearer may attempt to Deny the Witch as if it was a Psyker.

Swarmhood Specific

• Afelhuk - The Swarmling Goad: A spine ridge made up of thousands of tiny tendrils, capable of stretching to a hundred times their length. The bearer controls these tentacles with a minuscule amount of will, whereupon they lash out to strike a nearby Q'Orl hivelings. Against any of species, this would feel like a tiny flick from a child, but each tentacle contains the precise genetic receptors to cause untold agony to a Q'Orl. This combined with the fact that the tentacles can lash out hundreds of times a minute, allows a single (very sadistic noble) to goad a swarm into a desperate frenzy, in an attempt to outrun the agony.

Friendly Afelhuk Infantry units within 6" of this unit add 1" to their movement, advance and charge distances. Such units may also charge after advancing, but once the charge has been resolved those units suffer D3 mortal wounds each.

• Alakyrr - The Whispering Blade: A failed (or you might say successful) experiment by a Hive Technologist, who wished to bind their consciousness to a blade of a metal chitin hybrid. However, when the Technologist began to binding procedure something went terribly wrong, and all that was later found by their assistants was the Technologists charred, and blackened corpse. The blade they had been experimenting on, however, was found in its cradle, unharmed, the light glinting off its organic and inorganic surface like a blinking eye, or like a mouth, pulsating in a never-ending scream.

This Relic replaces a single weapon the bearer was originally equipped and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
The Whispering Blade	Melee	Melee	+2	-3	3	Each time the bearer of this relic fights it must make D3 addition attacks using this weapon profile. Failed hit rolls of 1 inflict a mortal wound on the bearer.

• Gook - Translocation Reality Flipper: An item which even the Q'Orl don't truly understand, and only the Gook are aggressive enough to use. The device takes the bearer and swaps their location in time and space with another unit that holds the corresponding beacon. Imperial observers who have seen the device in action believed that it might be a form of warp technology, which has sections of the Imperium terrified of an impending Q'Orl invasion. In reality, the device has more uncommon which Eldar Webway technology, by punching a very unstable and short distance tunnel through reality and then dragging the paired becomes through opposite ends. It's too dangerous even as a last-ditch escape device, but the violence and devastation caused by its use makes it excellent at defeating a foe by simple shock and awe.

When setting up your army, select another friendly Gook unit to possess the corresponding beacon for this Relic. During any phase, the bearer of this Relic may activate its beacon. Remove the bearer from the battlefield and the friendly unit which carries the corresponding beacon. Then redeploy the bearer of this Relic in the position of the other friendly unit and visa versa. If either unit was within 1" of an enemy unit then its corresponding unit must also be placed within 1" of that enemy unit as well. Both units then suffer D3 mortal wounds, but may then either make a full round of shooting attacks as if it was the shooting phase, declare a charge as if it was the charge phase, or make a full round of melee attacks.

• Loqiit - Queen's Aegis: Half Adamantium shield, half extra limb, the Queen's Aegis is not only a potent defensive item but a symbol of the might of the Q'Orl and their Queen's all-encompassing power. The shield glitters, like a setting sun, and effect created by its built-in refractor field and the army of Q'Orl who constantly polish it, using a special cream of nanobots who reposition the shield's surface atoms, ensuring its integrity. The extra limb which carries the shield is a cybernetic which is grown into the bearer's flesh, a process that only the strongest (and most fanatically devoted) Q'Orl can endure. The end result is a Queen's champion who can survive even the wrath of a primarch in combat.

The bearer adds 1 to all their saving throws. In addition, all enemy units within 12" subtract 2 from their Leadership characteristic.

• Simmiehu - Ordnance of the Scuttling Gods: An Ordnance Aimer used in a long series of battles for succession amongst the Q'Orl. Whenever a new Nobel would acquire the weapon they would use it to slay all their rivals, only to be later killed by a coalition of the survivors, whereupon the weapon would fall into a new set of hands. It is said that this weapon alone has killed more Q'Orl nobles than the entirety of the Imperiums space marine chapters combined, but despite its gruesome history no Q'Orl can quite bring themselves to destroy it.

This Relic replaces a Semi-automatic Ordnance Aimer and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
Ordnance of the Scuttling Gods	36"	Rapid Fire 3	8	-3	D3	-

Other Wargear

• Battery Carrier: Some Soldiers have highly powered batteries on their backs to give extra power to his team's biofluid weapons.

Improve the Ap characteristic of Neuroelectric Rifles and High Voltage Rifles in this unit by 1.

• Cerebral Computer Implant: A bionic computer implanted into a high-rank Q'Orl's head. The added boost to one's tactical genius takes a toll on the bearer's sanity.

All attacks made by a model with a Cerebral Computer Implant ignores the benefits of Light and Heavy Cover possessed by the targeted unit.

• Current Shield: A special shield made of thin electrified cables that shock incoming enemies and blows, commonly utilized by the guards of the royals. Its sight is a symbol of fear and respect among the lesser Q'Orl for it means a royal is near.

When an enemy unit charges this model, roll a D6; on a 4+ the enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.

• Gamma Mortis Protocol: Little devices of gruesome technology. When the host is killed, they temporarily take control of the corpse and move it like a puppet without its strings, to make sure whatever the body's purpose was, it won't go to waste.

If a model in a unit with a Gamma Mortis Protocol is slain in the Fight phase before it has made its attacks, leave the model where it is. When its unit is chosen to fight in that phase, it can do so as normal. Once it has done so, remove the model from the battlefield.

Hive Technologist

Technologists have different purposes in Q'Orl society, serving as doctors and mechanics as well as scientists.

Purchase this Requisition when you add a Q'Orl Vehicle unit to your Order of Battle, or when a Q'Orl Vehicle unit in your Crusade force gains a rank, if your Crusade force includes a Hive Technologist. That Vehicle unit gains one Weapon Enhancement; increase its Crusade points accordingly and make a note on its Crusade card.

Battle Traits

Hive Prince Units Only

Soldiers Units Only

• 1) A Necessary Sacrifice: These warriors will happily throw their lives away if it means they'll be of help to their superiors.

Battle Scars

Hive Prince Units Only

-Dishonored: For the wounds suffered in battle and the humiliation of defeat, this once great Q'Orl prince is cast aside, cursed to wander the field until it'll shos its worth again or perish trying.

• This Battle Scar can't be removed by the Repair and Recuperate Requisition.

• This unit can't benefit from the bonus to their Combat Attrition rolls from the Instilled Fear special rule.

Crusade Relics

Artificer Relics

• Cranial Sentry Implant: In battle, knowing where the enemy is is an important part of one's strategy. This cranial implant informs the wearer of any nearby activity, making him prepared for any enemy assault.

Enemy units do not gain any benefits in the Fight phase from charging, being charged, or by performing heroic interventions against this unit. In addition, this unit may Overwatch once a turn without the need for the associated Stratagem.

• Grafted Winglet Gyroscopes: A number of minuscule gyroscopes are mounted on this Q'Orl's wings, granting him an extreme maneuverability.

Unit with the Fly keyword only. Add 6” to this unit's movement distances. In addition, this unit can charge even in a turn in which it fell back.

• The Queen's Armor: This individual has been bestowed a piece of the Queen's exoskeleton, crafted into an armor of complex design to aid him in his conquests.

Add 1 to this unit's Thougness characteristic and Armor saving throws.

Antiquity Relics

• Palanquin of the Honoured Dead: Even in Q'Orl society, with its regimented hierarchy and oppression, there is some honor to be had for the humble workers and warriors. The Palanquin of the Honoured Dead is a giant, suspensor borne display of the skulls of Q'Orl's who have fallen heroically in battle. Although heroically for the Q'Orl is more dependent on whether your act aided the survival of those higher up the hierarchy than you, the Palanquin f the Honoured Dead is unusual because the skulls of those it honors are from all levels of Q'Orl strata. You will find the skull of a humble worker who jumped in the way of a bolt shell right next to that of a Prince who dueled an imperial knight. At the center of the display, with all the other skulls carefully arranged so that they both look outwards but also seem to gaze up the centerpiece, is the skull of a long-deceased queen, made iridescent by careful refractions and eddies of light caused by the suspensor field. The Palanquin is also not a single relic, but a host of such morbid items which are routinely returned to the Q'Orl homeworld to be updated with new skulls and repaired. Once renewed the palanquin is dispatched to a frontline sector. There, a commander is selected by a panel scholars and other commanders, who select a Q'Orl who has recently distinguished themselves in battle to be borne aloft on the palanquin, to attend to and defend the display it carries. This being Q'Orl society, however, this can be a double-edged honor. On one hand, the panel may have given the honor in honest recognition of the Q'Orl's deeds in warfare. Alternatively, the panel may contain a cabal of the nobility who wish for one particular Hive Prince to be put in a position where they may be killed by an enemy. For the honor of riding upon a Palanquin of the Honoured Dead is not one you can refuse. To be chosen means going into battle on the relic, and either winning or dying, anything else would mean disgrace.

Hive Prince only. The unit gains the Titanic keyword and roll a D6 whenever this unit suffers a wound; on a 5+ the wound is ignored. In addition, roll a D6 every time a friendly Q'Orl Soldiers model loses a wound within 12" and line of sight of this unit; on a 6 that wound is ignored. However, this unit may never move in a direction that would take it further away from any enemy units, and if it is eligible to charge an enemy unit then it must do so. If you lose a battle with a unit equipped with this relic, then they automatically gain the Dishonored Battle Scar and loses this Relic.

• The Shell of Shangri Mei: A gruesome item, the chitinous shell of a Q’Orl Prince who defied their Queen and attempted to overthrow the entirety of Q’Orl aristocracy. Nobody knows what drove them to such a suicidal act, but they failed, and were captured and was sentenced to the most humiliating and agonizing punishment a Q’Orl can ever undergo. They were chained outside the palace of the queens on the Q’Orl homeworld and doused in a nanobot solution. Over the course of five Terran decades, the nanobots slowly began to peel away Shangri Mei’s chitinous carapace, stimulating the nerves beneath with electrical shocks and pain-inducing antigens, while also ensuring that no diseases would take hold and synthesizing nutrients from the air so Mei wouldn’t simply die. For 50 years, Mei sat screaming outside the palace, as one by one their chitin plates were stripped from them and collected by attendants. When finally, Mei was left standing as naked as a flayed human, the Queen was brought from her palace on a gigantic palanquin, whereupon she took one look at Mei, and vomited gout of acid onto the prisoner. In one final torment of agony, Mei was dissolved by the acid, screaming as they were reduced to nothing more than a slurry of biological sludge, which was quickly cleaned up by menials. An armour fashioned from Shangri Mei’s shell was created and is grafted onto a noble who is deemed to have grossly transgressed or failed in battle, sending a simple message. Repent and make up for your failure, or end up like Shangri Mei.

Hive Prince with Dishonored Battle Scar only. This unit adds 1 to its Saving throws and Toughness characteristic and may fire twice during its Shooting phase and fight twice during the Fight phase. If you lose a battle with a unit with this Relic equipped then this unit is automatically slain and removed from your crusade force (i.e., they lose all progression they may have had up to this point). However, if you win the battle then this Relic is removed from this unit and this unit gains double experience from the battle and loses its Dishonored Battle Scar.

Legendary Relics

• Neuroelectric Cranial Amplifier: A seemingly simple array of wiring and charge arrays that connects every Q’Orl in a unit. The system does nothing while a unit is moving, but when stationary it shuts down all the brain functions responsible for balance, moving, and other similar functions, accounting for about 50% of a Q’Orl’s brain function. This excess function is then used to generate a building charge, which is amplified by static arrays between all other Q’Orl in the unit. In other creatures, this would be useless as they would simply fall over without that 50% of their brain, but Q’Orl can lock their shell segments together to prevent this. The stored power is then channeled to their weapons, for devastating effect.

A unit with this Relic adds +2 to the Strength characteristic and +6” to the Range characteristic of weapons from the Voltage Weaponry list this model is equipped with for every turn in which it and at least another Soldiers unit within 1” did not move. This can stack up to +4 strength and +12” range. If a unit benefits from these bonuses in the Shooting phase then it may not charge in the following Charge phase.

• The Queen’s Reach The Queens of the Q'Orl are not blind to what takes place in their society. They are aware of the backstabbing, the plots, the outright wasting of the lives of their underlings, as much as the rest of the Q'Orl population may think that the Queen is too far above them to pay any notice, the exact opposite is the case. Most of the time, however, the Queen does not need to take any action, as Q'Orl society and military have become adept at managing the chaos that their otherwise orderly hierarchy hides. When a Queen normally wishes to act she will dispatch nobles to delivery a message or challenge someone to a duel on her behalf. There are times however when the queen requires a more subtle touch, and for that, she has the Queen's Reach. The Queen's Reach is a rifle that is grafted onto a chosen of the queen and fires a solid slug using a vast, electromagnetic charge. What makes the round so dangerous however is that the core of the projectile fired is made of a solid lump of nanobots. When penetrating or colliding with a target the nanobots bury deep into whatever surface they find and begin to deconstruct it. Even the mightiest of foes, who would normally not be harmed by such a weapon, find themselves falling apart at the atomic level. Even refractor shields are of no use against this weapon, as even if the round is stopped by a force field, the nanobots within are propelled forwards through the shield regardless. To ensure that Q'Orl society does not become aware of this tool of the Queen the ones who use it are mind-wiped before and after its use, and the weapon itself can be easily sculpted to look like any weapon a Hive Prince might already carry. Thus, the will of the Queen can be enacted, without any other soul alive being aware that anything ever happened.

Hive Prince only. This Relic replaces a weapon the bearer is equipped with and has the following profile:

Weapon	Range	Type	S	AP	D	Abilities
The Queen’s Reach	60”	Heavy 3	8	-3	3	This weapon may target Character units and invulnerability saves made against this weapon suffers -1 to their rolls. Each time an enemy Character is slain by this weapon; you gain 1 additional Victory Point and may fire with this weapon an additional time as if it was the Shooting phase. Additional attacks from this weapon cannot generate further additional attacks.
