Editing Void shields (section)

== On the Tabletop ==
The biggest of fortifications, titans, and some land vehicles of the [[Imperium of Man]] have void shields, which are basically extra AV12 hullpoints which also shut down if hit by a Destroyer Weapon automatically; however, they come back on a 5+ at the end of your turn ([[derp|which means, for protecting something which is already durable - as they are consistently described as doing - they are basically inferior to just building your hull out of storm shields, despite their allegedly much greater power draw]]).  

Forgeworld, the crazy fucks, have decided that any independent character in a 30K army can buy one as a relic; it's a large blast centered on the user that acts like the aforementioned.

In 8th edition they act as a simple save against ranged attacks which can also block mortal wounds, starting at a 4+ for the war hound Titan up to a 3+ for the warlord (and presumably a 2+ for an emperor Titan). They do degrade as the model takes damage however, but it’s worth it for the added protection they provide assuming that your Titan doesn’t get into melee against another Titan, it’s times like this where the hierophant makes a mockery of void shields. As the void shield is a simple saving roll for the model it does not protect surrounding troops unlike old school shields, but this is the case almost across the board when 8th edition arrived thanks to the removal of templates.
