'''Special Rules:'''
*'''Explosive Charge:''' Whenever a DX-13 Aerial Drone Mine finds itself (whether it be during any phase of any player) within 3" of an enemy unit with the {{W40kKeyword|Fly}} keyword, it explodes. Roll a D6; on a 1 it fails to inflict any harm, on a 2-5 it inflicts D3 mortal wounds on the nearest enemy unit, and on a 6 it inflicts 2D3 mortal wounds on that unit. If the enemy unit has the {{W40kKeyword|Flyer}} keyword, double the amount of mortal wounds it suffers. The DX-13 Aerial Drone Mine is then destroyed.
