::'''Dissolve:''' Enemy models suffer a -1 penalty to their armour save throws against wounds caused by weapons with this special rule (for example, models with 2+ armour save only save on a 3+, though AP3 still wouldn't penetrate their armour). For each vehicle hit by a weapon with this special rule, roll a D6 before rolling for armour penetration. On a 3+ the vehicle loses one point of armour from all facings for the rest of the game.

|}<br style="clear: both; height: 0px;" />
::'''Spore Bomb:''' Unlike other weapons, Spore Mine Cysts are used during the Movement phase. A Harpy can fire its Spore Mine cysts once in each of its Movement phases. If it does so, it counts as having fired one weapon in its following Shooting phase; however, any other weapons it fires that turn can choose a different target to the Spore Mine cysts. To fire the Spore Mine cysts, the Harpy must be Swooping. After the Harpy has finished moving, center the large blast marker on any one model the Harpy has passed over that turn and roll for scatter (it scatters D6"). Units take a hit for each model that is even partially under the blast marker’s final position, resolved using the appropriate profile below.
::'''Spore Burst:''' If, when the final position of the first blast marker in the barrage is determined, there are no models (friend or foe) under it, place D3 Spore Mine models of appropriate type anywhere within 3" of the blast template central hole so that they are in unit coherency and not within impassable terrain or 1" of an enemy model (any that cannot be placed are lost). These act as a Spore Mine Cluster for the rest of the game.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki> Spore Mine weapons can use a wide variety of different mines, which define weapon's Strength, AP and additional rules.

::'''Frag Bombardment:''' If a unit charges a unit hit at least once by a weapon with this special rule during the previous Shooting phase, they do not suffer an initiative penalty for charging through Difficult terrain.
::'''Direct Hit:''' Acid Mines hit only the model directly under the blast template's central hole. If the blast hits enemy models but the central hole does not, it counts as a miss; place an Acid Spore Cluster as described per the Spore Burst rule.
::'''Aerial Minefield''' Char Mines blast only hit Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures and Zooming Flyers, despite them being usually immune to blast weapons, and do not affect any other models.
::<nowiki>*</nowiki> Char Mines only roll extra dice for Armour Penetration per Melta special rule if the target appears to be directly under the blast template central hole.
