Each Crown Force must include one or more Battlefleets. A Battlefleet is a group of Units that are always led by a Flagship.
There are a number of Battlefleets available to the Crown each with an array of units to choose from and some even with
additional rules or benefits.
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 unique to the Crown are
listed here:
ARMOUR OF CONTEMPT: This Unit ignores the effects of the Chaos and Disarray Disorder Condition, but
counts has having the Level. Receiving a further Disorder Condition causes damage as normal.
LIONHEARTED CREW: This Unit may re-roll Blank Results when it is the Initial Target of an Assault.
ROYAL ENGINEERS: This Unit counts Blank results as a Counter when making Repair Rolls.
A Battlefleet may only ever include one Unit with the Flagship trait unless the Battlefleet composition specifically states
otherwise. Battlefleets in the Crown have the following special rule:
COMMAND RE-ROLL: If a Battlefleet has this rule, the Player gains a Command Re-roll. Each Command Re-roll may
be used once per game. It allows all the dice in the Player’s Action Dice Pool (regardless of results) to be re-rolled. You may
not re-roll part of the Action Dice Pool or another Player’s Action Dice Pool using this rule, it must be all the dice and only
in your own Dice Pool.
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.
• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the CROWN Trait.
• You MAY include up to a further Four Units with the CROWN Trait.
• You may not include more than one of any Unit.
• Command Re-Roll
Where the Britannia Battlefleets are deployed, order and stability are
restored to Her Majesty’s Dominions. Many vessels in these
battlefleets have served alongside each other for decades.
• Command Re-Roll
• The Britannia gains the Devastating Quality to her
Heavy Gun Batteries provided there is at least a
maximum sized Albion unit in the Battlefleet.
This Generator removes 1 Action Dice from the Dice Pool of each Attack against this Model provided that a Model with a Shield
Generator is within 10”. If this Model has both a Shield and Guardian Generators, then this is in addition to the 2 Action Dice
removed by the Shield Generator. The Guardian Generator cannot be used against attacks that are unaffected by Shield 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. Furthermore, any friendly Units within 5" of this Model making 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.

The following is the official ‘Counts As’ guide for players to make use of older and out of production Classic Dystopian Wars miniatures in
games. These are official guidelines and so may be used for official tournaments, organised play and any other sanctioned events.
The models MUST be taken as indicated here. Any Unit upgrades listed must be taken and no other options are available to the Unit from the
ORBAT. For example, a miniature for a Classic Tribal model may be included in your Force to represent an Albion Cruiser. However, it may
not take any weapon upgrades or additional Generators. That way, an opponent that encounters this Classic Model in games will know exactly
what it represents without further explanation or note keeping.
Important: As the range of units for the Faction expands with new releases, this list will adapt to include other Classic Miniatures that are now
able to Counts as one of these Units in the game. So, if there is a classic miniature in your collection that is not listed below, do not worry, it will
be added as the range expands and it gains something it can ‘count as’.
