Changes

Boarding Shields were a bulkier version of the standard Combat Shields and were used by [[Space Marine]] [[Legion]] during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]] era by [[Breacher Siege Space Marine|Breacher squads]]. Due to its size Boarding Shields gave bigger advantage in the confined close quarter fighting so were especially usable during the starship boarding actions and siege attacks. Although the protective field of Boarding Shields was inferior to the field of mighty [[Storm Shields]] the prototypes of which were beginning to enter service of [[Legiones Astartes]] at the time of the [[Horus Heresy]], the Boarding Shields remained a vital part of a Legion's armour throughout this conflict.{{Fn|2}}
