The Atomantic Pavaise was a highly experimental, carapace-mounted energy shield system that was used by the ancient Deredeo Pattern Dreadnoughts of the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy.

The Atomantic Pavaise was developed by the Clave Nuathac sub-cult magi of the Forge World of Anvilus with Zone Mortalis operations in mind, with the idea of turning the Deredeo Dreadnought into a mobile bulwark against the heaviest enemy weapons fire. This reinforced energy shield increases the Deredeo's own already formidable armour and shielding, and provides protection to nearby friendly units.
