Boarding Shield

A Boarding Shield is a large tower shield comprised of ceramic and metallic alloys that is used by Space Marines during void combat boarding operations, which allows them to absorb the sustained incoming enemy fire that normally accompanies the first breach in a voidship's hull. Boarding Shields were also employed by Space Marines during siege operations following the first breach in the defences of a static fortification, when the heavy intensity of incoming enemy fire mirrored that of a voidship boarding action. The Boarding Shield was most often used during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy by the Space Marine Legions' Breacher Siege Squads.
