Khornate Target
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Khornate Target is a cursed shield that is carried by Chaos Knights and has been wrought from the metallic carapaces of slain Imperial Knights. It is embossed with the skulls of their slain pilots and when the shield draws close to the Chaos Knight's enemies, it begins to pulsate like a throbbing heart. When activated, the Khornate Target silences psychic barriers and causes force fields to blink out of existence. By removing the esoteric defenses of both their enemies and their own, the Chaos Knight wielding the cursed shield will open a window in which unadulterated carnage can occur.[1]
