'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Instinctive Behaviour'''
*'''Spore Mine Launcher (Acid Mines):''' Each time a Spore Mine Launcher equipped with Acid Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} Acid Mine model anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Acid Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for an Acid Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch.
*'''Spore Mine Launcher (Char Mines):''' Each time a Spore Mine Launcher equipped with Char Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts 1 mortal wound, and on a 6 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} Char Mine model anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Char Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Char Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch. Add 1 to the hit rolls when targeting units that can {{W40kKeyword|Fly}}.
*'''Spore Mine Launcher (Frag Mines):''' Each time a Spore Mine Launcher equipped with Frag Mines hits the target, roll a D6 to find out how much damage is inflicted on the target; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D6 automatic hits on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 6 automatic hits on that unit. Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} Frag Mine model anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Frag Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed). This then follows the rules for a Frag Mine that is part of your army, but it cannot move or charge during the turn it was set up. This weapon can target units that are not visible to the firer, but it cannot be used to fire Overwatch. Use the profile below to resolve the hits inflicted by a Frag Mine:

Each time a Spore Mine Launcher misses its target, set up a single {{W40kKeyword|<HIVE FLEET>}} Toxic Mine model anywhere within 6" of the target unit and more than 3" from any enemy model (if the Toxic Mine cannot be placed it is destroyed).
