Crown ORBAT v301
Crown ORBAT v301
Some Units in the Crown have special rules that are different to those found in the rulebook. Units that have one or
more of these rules will have them detailed in their Unit profiles in this ORBAT. The rules common to the Crown
are listed here:
ABLATIVE PROW ARMOUR: When an attack against a Model in this Unit originates from a point in its Fore, it
uses this rule. Remove an Action die from the Attack Dice Pool for each weapon with the Gunnery or Fusillade
Quality that Supports an attack against the Model. Attacks with Rail or Piercing Quality ignore this rule.
HEAVY FIREPOWER: Once per Activation, this Unit may make the following Valour Effect. When this Unit
makes an Attack, up to three weapons may contribute their Lead value to the Action Dice Pool, rather than the
normal single Lead weapon value. They still only have a single Lead weapon for Disorder purposes etc.
KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON: This Unit treats the effects of Chaos and Disarray as the effects of Emergency
instead. The Units still counts has having the Chaos and Disarray Level so receiving a further Disorder Condition
causes damage as normal.
LIONHEARTED CREW: Crippled Models with this rule still use the Battle Ready value of their weapons and
may re-roll Blank Results when making or the Initial Target of an Assault. This rule cannot be used if the Model
has the Emergency or Chaos and Disarray Disorder Condition.
LOYAL SHE BEGAN; THUS SHE REMAINS: This Model may add +1 to its Defence Action Dice Pool if it is
within 10” of one or more other friendly Units with the CROWN Trait.
ROYAL ENGINEERS: This Unit counts Blank results as a Counter when making Repair Rolls. Furthermore,
Heavy Gun Batteries and Gun Batteries gain +1 to their Lead Action Dice value when two or more weapons Support
their Action Dice Pool.
DEFIANT TAILGUNNERS: This rule applies to all SRS Tokens launched by this Unit. You may re-roll
Interception Action Dice Pool blank results provided the number of SRS Tokens contributing to the Interception is
at least equal to the Mass of the target they are defending.
Each Force must include one or more Battlefleets. There are a number of Battlefleets available to the Force, each with an array of
units to choose from and some even with additional rules or benefits. Each Battlefleet has the following restrictions unless stated
otherwise in the Battlefleet itself:
• You cannot include more than one of any specific Unit.
• You cannot include more than one Unit with the Flagship trait.
• In addition to the Flagship, you cannot include more than one Unit with the Aerial Unit Position Trait.
• In addition to the Flagship, you cannot include more than one Unit with the Submerged Unit Position Trait.
• Any Units forming Attached Units must come from the same Battlefleet.
Some Battlefleets provide bonuses to players for fulfilling certain requirements. These are indicated in the Battlefleet itself
though some of the most common are detailed below:
COMMAND OVERRIDE: If a Battlefleet has this rule, once per Encounter the Player may declare they are using the
Battlefleet’s Command Override to immediately cancel all the dice results in any one Action Dice Pool generated by Units in the
Force. The Command Override must be played before any manipulation of the Action Dice Pool takes place by either Player. The
Action Dice pool is then rolled afresh exactly as if the previous Action Dice Pool had not been rolled. You may not cancel part of
the Action Dice Pool or another Player’s Action Dice Pool using this rule.
SNOWBIRD STRIKE: Utilising specially modified single seater Defiant fighters known as Snowbirds, Canadian pilots are
expert at running long range combat air patrols in support of their Battlefleets. A Snowbird Strike may be made at the start of the
Second and Fourth Rounds of the Encounter for each Battlefleet has this rule. In a Snowbird Strike, the Crown player creates a
stack of SRS Tokens, one Token for each Unit in that Battlefleet in the Play Area at the start of that Round. They may be used
exactly as though they had been launched by a Unit in the Battlefleet (allowing them to be placed against targets in the Play Area
within 40” of any Unit in the Battlefleet). They cannot combine with other SRS Tokens and do not benefit from the Defiant Tail
Gunners special rule. All SRS Tokens in a Snowbird Strike are discarded at the end of the Second and Fourth Rounds. Designers
note: It is recommended that you paint or otherwise mark the Snowbird Strike SRS tokens differently to your other SRS Tokens if your
Force includes Units with the Defiant Tail Gunners Special Rule.
This is the most flexible and commonly deployed Battlefleet found in the Crown. The ability to mix surface, submersible and aerial units
makes this an essential component of any Commodore’s Force.

The Great Powers are not above hiring mercenaries and privateers to gain a decisive advantage in battle. A single Battlegroup in the Force
may be taken from the Mercenary Battlefleets found in many of the Faction ORBATs. You must take a different Battlefleet from this
ORBAT before you take a Mercenary Battlefleet. Each Mercenary Battlefleet can be taken multiple times by the Faction that it is
detailed in. For example, the Commonwealth may take multiple Black Wolf Battlefleets (though Unique Units will place other limits
to this number), but the Crown or Alliance could only include one Black Wolf Battlefleet provided they also had another Battlefleet
chosen from their ORBAT.
Thanks to the Watcher artefacts found in the Bimini Crater, the mysteries of splitting the Atom have begun to be understood.
The Model adds +2 to its Speed Attribute. The Model suffers an additional Point of Damage whenever it suffers a Catastrophic Explosion caused by
receiving a duplicate Reactor Leak Critical Damage Marker.
The Fury pattern RJ- 1027 Generator provides a huge boost to a vessel’s power system as well as other, more intangible benefits.
This Generator gives the Model +1 to its Speed Attribute and +4 to its Fray Attribute.
A Model may have Multiple Guardian Generators. Once per Round, as a Special Operation in the Activation
Phase, the controlling Player adds up each Friendly Guardian Generator in Play. Each Friendly Guardian Generator adds a number of Guardian
Points to form a Guardian Points Pool. The number of Guardian Points contributed is indicated as number next to this rule. When any Friendly
Model with a Guardian Generator is declared the target of an Attack, before the Attack is rolled, declare how many Guardian Points from the
Guardian Points Pool will be used. These Points are deducted from the Pool for the Round. For each Point spent, remove a single die from the
Attack Dice Pool. The Guardian Points Pool cannot be used against attacks with the Arc, Piercing, Rail, Sonic or Submerged Qualities. Unspent
Guardian Points are lost in the Maintenance Step of the End Phase.
A powerful electromagnet is housed within this generator and can be used to disrupt small arms fire close to the vessel as
well as focussed to affect larger aircraft. Once per Activation this Model may target an enemy Aerial Model within 10”. That Model receives a level of
Disorder. Furthermore, any Hits and Heavy Hits by Enemy SRS or Special SRS Tokens against this model must be re-rolled. Exploding Hits are
unaffected.
: These are a variety of technological marvels emitting billowing clouds, shimmering scatter fields or even belching fourth
noxious blackness to hide the Model from sight. This Model is Obscured while the generator is active. This Model still blocks line of sight as normal.
Assaults and Attack Runs ignore Shroud Generators.
This Generator may be used to launch a rapidly coalescing bolt of aetheric energy in the Shooting Phase using the
Trident Projector Bolt weapon profile. The Generator has a 360 degree Firing Arc unless it replaces a weapon with a different Fire Arc on a Model,
in which case it retains the Fire Arc of the weapon it replaces. Furthermore, any friendly Models within 7" of a Model with this Generator that make
attacks with the Torpedo Quality gains the Homing Quality.
These are the weapon used by the faction. All values highlighted in green are used when the model is Battle Ready. Values shown in red are
used if the model is crippled.

UNEXPECTED ARRIVAL: Emerging suddenly, this Unit appears to wreak havoc on the enemy.
Instead of being deployed as normal for the Encounter, this Unit may instead be held in Reserve (see
Operations for details). Roll to arrive by Reserves as normal, however, from the start of Round two, or
the start of any subsequent Rounds, this Unit may automatically arrive from Reserves. When it arrives
from Reserves the Unit is placed at any point in the Play Area that is at least 2" from the nearest terrain
feature. No Model in the Unit can be deployed touching another Model. On the Round it enters play
