A Construct Shield is an Imperial defensive technology deployed on Imperial Knights and other ancient Mechanicum war machines during the Horus Heresy. It represented an experimental attempt to create a stable, miniaturised Void Shield Generator at a fraction of the material cost of other forms of heavy shielding. The Construct Shield is most frequently employed by magi of the Ordo Katastrophica to ensure their temperamental automata survive in battle long enough for them to gather vital operating data.
