Shimmershield
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Shimmershield[6]
A Shimmershield is an advanced Aeldari Force field generator, that is strong enough to protect the wearer and those around them from melee attacks.[1]
Description
Though primarily used by Dire Avenger[2] and Shining Spear[3] Exarchs[2][3], Shimmershields have also been reported to be used by Corsair Princes, Voidstorm Squads[2] and Void Dreamers.[4] Autarchs who were former Dire Avengers use Shimmerstones, as the protective gems contain technology based off of the Shimmershield.[5]
