'''Holo-fields''' are programmable hologram fields utilised by the [[Eldar]] vehiclesto defend themselves from enemy attacks. They generate Rather than a typical force field which directly blocks an attack a visual distortion around holo-field distorts the user's image, preventing them from being hit in the first place. When stationary the field mimics the surrounding terrain so that the person or vehiclebecomes invisible, thus making it very difficult {{Fn|1}}{{Fn|6}} but when they move the field causes their image to target explode into a cloud of tiny, multi-coloured fragments, with the fragments becoming more widely dispersed the faster they move and then collapsing back together as the exact location of the vehicle generating subject stops, giving rise to the term jigsaw or domino field is nearly impossible to ascertain.{{Fn|1}}
==See Amongst this shifting cloud of coloured shards an enemy cannot be sure where a user of a holo-field really is and so has difficulty hitting them, whether with ranged or melee attacks.{{Fn|1}} Indeed the visual distortion put out by even a personal holo-field is powerful enough to cause the trajectory of shots from [[lasgun]]s to bend and miss.{{Fn|4a}} Holo-fields not only disrupt visual targeting but other methods as well, preventing even the most advanced sensory gear from getting an accurate lock.{{Fn|2}} [[Holo-suit]]s are typically worn by [[Harlequins]],{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|3b}} while [[Eldar Ranger]]s also wear a type of holo-suit for camouflage,{{Fn|7}} and the [[Shadow Spectres]] [[Aspect Shrine]] also==*utilise holo-fields to defend themselves.{{Fn|4b}} Many [[Eldar Vehicles]]will incorporate holo-fields into their construction to defend themselves from enemy attacks,{{Fn|3a}} while all [[Eldar Titans]] are equipped with powerful holo-fields as well.{{Fn|1}} Similarly all [[Eldar Space Fleet|Eldar Spacecraft]] rely upon holo-fields as their primary means of protection.{{Fn|5}}
