Void Shields are energy fields employed by the Imperium to protect Super-heavy vehicles. The shields use Warp technology to displace ranged attacks. It is unclear whether Void Shields neutralize the projectile, transport it to the Warp, or exactly how the shielding is accomplished. They act in the same role as Ork Kustom Force Fields, however Ork fields are less reliable and tend to be inoperable once downed. On the inverse, Imperial Void Shields can be re-activated after being collapsed, even during battle. In combat, Void Shields do not protect from close combat assaulters or other vehicles moving through them.
These shields are most commonly mounted on Imperial Titans for protection from ranged attacks, but they have also been employed on other Super Heavy Tanks. On vehicles with multiple Void Shields, or Void Shield banks, it has been said that void shields must be calibrated to overlap perfectly or "weak spots" can occur. They appear to be undetectable to anything but direct visuals, and can cause catastrophic Void Shield bank failure when shot at by titan-sized weapons, but these have no in-game effects. Void Shields are also said to whine audibly when active, and fizzle against one another when touching or overlapping.
