Quantum Shielding

Quantum Shielding is an arcane defensive Necron technology that defies examination. Many Necron vehicles are protected by layers of Quantum Shielding, which consists of layers of additional armour plating that exists out of phase with the rest of the vehicle; until the moment the of impact of enemy projectiles. Because of this, it only truly exists only at the moment of deflection – at all other times there is no indication of its presence. Many a Necron vehicle delicate appearance belies its robust manufacture, constructed as it is of living metal, with the bulk of its protection lying in its undetectable Quantum Shielding. The use of Quantum Shielding in the manufacture of Necron vehicles also allow the potent skimmers to remain light and manoeuvrable whilst still having a level protection much greater than that given by the inferior armour of lesser races. Though a determined assault can still breach these potent energy fields, it normally buys the vehicle enough time to withdraw. The only known Necron vehicles protected by Quantum Shielding are Catacomb Command Barges, Annihilation Barges, Doomsday Arks, Ghost Arks and Triarch Stalkers
