====Royal Guards====
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
''Where there is royalty, there are guards. The sole purpose of these soldiers is to protect their prince with their life. The kinds of weapons they possess have been crafted specifically for this reason and show great harmony between the ruthlessness of the usual Q'Orl battle style and a more defensive approach.''</div>
</div>
This unit contains 2 Royal Guards ('''Power Rating: 4''').

<tab name="Absolute Devotion">
While a friendly {{W40kKeyword|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 {{W40kKeyword|Character}} and can do so against an enemy unit that charged a friendly {{W40kKeyword|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.
