Enlightened-ORBAT-v103b.pdf - Dystopian Wars

This document is the Order of Battle for the Covenant of the Enlightened, known in shorthand as the Enlightened ORBAT. Once you

have agreed the points limit for your Encounter, each player must consult the ORBAT for their chosen Faction. This ORBAT allows

a player to create a Force for the Covenant of the Enlightened in games of Dystopian Wars. We have also made Unit cards available

too for quick reference in games. Important: For the avoidance of doubt, the rules presented in the latest version of the ORBAT always

take precedence over any Unit or Battlefleet rules presented elsewhere.

Each Enlightened 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 Covenant of the Enlightened each with an array of units to choose from and some

even with additional rules or benefits.

Some Units in the Covenant of the Enlighted 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

Enlightened are listed here:

ENLIGHTENED SCIENCE: When a Battle Ready Model in this Unit makes a Repair roll, one or more Exploding Hits

results remove a single point of damage from that Model. A Model cannot remove more than a single point of damage per

Repair roll. A Crippled Model cannot remove damage using this rule. Furthermore, instead of receiving a Generator

Shutdown Critical Damage Marker, Models in any Unit with this rule may receive a Sturginium Flare Condition instead.

LUMINIFEROUS DEFENCES: Units with this rule may use their Crippled ADV against any weapon with the Gunnery

Quality.

PHYSETER CONSTRUCTS: These are Special SRS Tokens (see page 30 of the DW Rulebook). Physeter Constructs

have the Submerged and Piercing Qualities and attack with 4 Action Dice (Instead of the usual 3 dice for Special SRS). They

cannot be placed in base contact with Aerial Units or Ground Units. Physeter Constructs can only be intercepted if there are

no other SRS Tokens remaining to make an Attack Run on the same target. They cannot combine with other types of SRS

Tokens and so all Physeter Constructs are resolved as a separate stack. The Attack Run is defended against using the Target’s

SDV.

FEARLESS FIGHTERS: Hurling their nimble craft into incoming fire to protect their allies, each friendly SRS Token

(not Physeter Constructs) in base contact with a friendly Unit provides +2 to ADV when discarded rather than the usual +1.

WAVELURKER: Any Model with this rule may plunge into a shallow dive during Special Operations Step of its Activation.

This is called Wavelurking. This Unit reduces its Speed by 2 and gains the Submerged Trait until the end of the Special

Operations Step of their next Activation (meaning it cannot be used in consecutive turns). When Wavelurking, the Model

may Move through (or be moved through by) any Models during its Movement without causing a Collision. After its

Movement is complete, Models must not be touching any other Models or terrain features. Attacks from a Wavelurking

Model count only a single Hit from each Heavy Hit result. Wavelurking Models have an ADV of 1 and may not use

Generators. A Model immediately ceases to be Wavelurking if it has a Navigation Lock Critical Damage Marker or the

Chaos and Disarray Level of Disorder.

A Battlefleet may only ever include one Unit with the Flagship trait unless the Battlefleet composition specifically states

otherwise. Battlefleets in the Covenant of the Enlighted have the following special rules:

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.

PHYSETER AMBUSH: At the start of the first Round, provided at least one Battlefleet has this rule, the Enlightened player

creates a stack of Physeter Construct Special SRS Tokens in what is called a Physeter Ambush. This stack consists of a Special

SRS Token for each Battlefleet in their Force with this rule. This stack is placed on the ship card of any one friendly Unit of

the players choice and may be used in the First Round exactly as though they had entered play from a Long-Ranged Sortie.

Up to six additional Physeter Construct Special SRS Tokens may be added to this Ambush stack for +22pts per Token. The

stack may be split and the Tokens used in attack or defence as usual. All Physeter Construct Special SRS Tokens used with

this rule are discarded after the First Round.

This is the most flexible and commonly deployed Battlefleet found in the Covenant of the Enlightened. The ability to mix surface, submersible and aerial units and draw upon a wide range of esoteric technologies at their disposal makes this an essential component of any Commodore’s Force.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the ENLIGHTENED Trait.

• You MAY include up to a further Four Units with the ENLIGHTENED Trait.

• You may not include more than one of any Unit.

:

• Command Re-Roll

Deployed as a demonstration of the importance of the mission or the prestige associated with the fleet’s patron, Archimedes Battlefleets are a powerful symbol of the Covenant in the Dystopian Age.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the ARCHIMEDES CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include an Antarctica, Tacitus, or Ulysses class Unit.

• You MAY include up to a further Two Units with the ENLIGHTENED Trait.

• You may not include more than one of any Unit except Antarctica, Tacitus, or Ulysses classes.

:

• Command Re-Roll

• This Battlefleet gains an additional Command Re-roll for each maximum sized Unit of Antarctica, Tacitus, or Ulysses included.

Partnering the Descartes Control Ship with an array of Frontline and Support vessels enables Enlightened Commodores to supplement their squadrons with deadly Physeter Constructs.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the DESCARTES CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include a Lovelace Unit.

• You MAY include up to a further Three Units with the ENLIGHTENED Trait.

• You may not include more than two of any Unit except Lovelace or Vesalius classes.

:

• Physeter Ambush.

• If this Battlefleet includes Three Units (in addition to the Flagship), it may include +2 Physeter Construct Special SRS Tokens in their Physeter Ambush instead of the usual +1 given by Physeter Ambush.

The Enlightened are pioneers of Generator technology and in the field these potent devices are often mounted on Hypatia class Generator Ships. These potent warships are the lynchpin around which a Commodore can confidently build a Battlefleet.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit with the HYPATIA CLASS Trait.

• You MUST include a Lovelace or Tacitus Unit.

• You MAY include up to a further Three Units with the ENLIGHTENED Trait and Generators.

• You may not include more than two of any Unit.

:

• Command Re-Roll


• If this Battlefleet includes Three maximum sized Units with Generators (in addition to the Flagship), the Hypatia’s Generators have any points cost reduced to zero.

The Enlightened are a meritocracy where much reliance is placed on achieving their goals through the application of the myriad of automata and research vessels at their disposal.

• You MUST include One Flagship Unit.

• You MUST include a Vesalius, Newton, or Claudius Unit.

• You MUST include a Unit with the ENLIGHTENED and AUTOMATA Traits.

•You MAY include up to a further Three Units with the ENLIGHTENED and AUTOMATA Traits.

• You may not include more than one of any Unit.

:

• Command Re-Roll


• If this Battlefleet includes at least Three Automata Units then their Mechanical Soul Special Rule also applies to Chaos and Disarray results.

During the Special Operations Step of this Unit’s Activation, it may use its Callimachus Chrono-Lathe in one of two ways. It may use the device to immediately remove a point of damage from a single Battle-Ready Model within 15”. Alternatively, the device may be used to immediately bring a Unit from Reserve and deploy them within 3” of this Unit. The Unit brought from Reserve immediately receives the Hazard Condition but may Activate as normal this Round. A Model may not be Wavelurking while using a Callimachus Chrono-Lathe.

: In the Special Operations Step of the Operations Phase, the controlling player may target a

friendly or enemy Model within 15" of this Model with a Generator. Unless Offline, all Clone Generators in the Unit have the

same abilities as the Targeted Generator. The Clone Generator may duplicate a different Generator within 15" of this Model each

time the Unit is Activated. A Clone Generator cannot target another Clone Generator and cannot duplicate a type of Generator

already present on the same Model as itself.

During the Special Operations Step of this Unit’s Activation, it may use its Diophantus Chaos-Orb in one of two ways. The device may be used draw three Victory and Valour Cards, examine them, discard two and keep one to add to the Player’s hand for the Round. Then, during the End Phase, the player must discard a card of their choice from their hand. The alternate way to use the Orb is the player may use the device as a Heavy Particle Cannon with a 360 Fire Arc. A Model may not be Wavelurking while using a Diophantus Chaos-Orb.

In the Special Operations Step of the Operations Phase, the controlling player may target a single

enemy Model within 10" of this Model. The targeted Model receives the Generator Offline Critical Damage Marker.

This weapon causes materials that have been exposed to Element 270 to heat up resulting

in dangerous and often catastrophic reactions. When calculating dice pools, the weapon contributes a number of Action Dice

equal to the Target Model’s Mass. This number is multiplied, depending on range band etc. See the Weapon Reference table for

details. Sturginium Agitators only ever contribute a single Action Dice when used in Support.

The Enlightened are the most technologically innovative and advanced Faction in the game and make a wide use of Internal

Generators. Players using Internal Generators must keep to the following guidance to ensure everyone has a fun and fair

game.

1) Many Units come with an Internal Shield Generator. Any replacement of that Generator must be clearly indicated on

the player’s Force details and should be able to be seen and referred to by both the player and their opponent throughout

the game. The Enlightened player should take care to distinguish units, both on the miniatures and in any Force list.

2) Specific Units with replaced Internal Generators should be identified by their controlling player to their opponent after

deployment

3) Care should be taken where two identical Units have different Internal Generators as there is unlikely to be any way to

tell them apart during the game. If either Player becomes unsure, the game should be paused, and the Player’s Force list

consulted for clarification.

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 Zeno may be included in your Force to represent a Stiletto. However, it

must take a Sturginium Agitator upgrade and cannot take any others such as Internal Generators or weapon replacements. 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’.
