Power Shield

A Power Shield is a compact form of Storm Shield often utilised by Space Marine Assault Squads for additional protection in close combat. Power Shields consist of a thin sheet of plasteel with a very small power field generator incorporated into the design. The generator produces a small power field sufficient to cover the surface of the shield, deflected most small arms fire and potent melee weapons. The form of power shield varies considerably from Chapter to Chapter. For example, the Crimson Fists favour coffin-shaped shields, while the Blood Angels use a cruciform shield and the Iron Fists bear shields moulded with a medieval gauntlet. Often a cloth banner bearing the Chapter insignia will be hung below the power shield, and on ceremonial occasions high ranking Chapter officials are often accompanied by a shield bearer with such a shield.
