The Enemy Below
Assign one Spyder to be the Swarm Leader.  The Canoptek Swarm starts the game in Strategic Reserve.  When it arrives, it deploys by Deep Strike.  The Swarm Leader's unit is always placed first.  Once this unit has arrived, the following rules are then resolved, in order, before the remainder of the swarm is deployed.

1) All buildings within 12" of the Swarm leader immediately suffer D3 penetrating hits.
2) Roll a D6 for each ruin within 12" of the Swam leader. On a roll of 1-3, the ruin becomes dangerous terrain for the remainder of th ebattle.  On a roll of 4-6, the ruin collapses; remove it from the battlefield and replace it with an area of rubble of equal size.  Any models that were within the unit are then placed in the rubble by their controlling player as close to their original positions as possible, and each suffers a Strength 6 AP- hit.

If the formation contains at least 20 Canoptek Scarab bases, all ranges above are increased to 25"
Pall of Dust
