Void Shields never protect against damage in close combat or from shooting attacks that originate within the Shielded area. Blast and template weapons that strike one or more models protected by a Void Shield will instead inflict a single hit on the Shield, regardless of the number of models that would have originally been affected- however, any hits on models outside of the Shield will still be resolved normally. Any unit that is at least partially within 12″ of the Generator is protected by the Shields and any hits on said unit will be resolved against the Void Shield, one at a time, until it is downed and then further damage will resolve against the unit.

Since it lacks both weapons and embarked units, most results on the building damage table will not affect it in any meaningful way, though of course it can lose Armor Value or being destroyed outright by some of the results.Īll Void Shield Generators come with one automatic Void Shield up to two additional ones can be purchased for it, for a maximum (and standard) of three. Unlike most buildings it is impassible, meaning that units cannot embark on it- however, it does have battlements that allow you to put units on top of it should you so choose. The Void Shield Generator is an AV13 medium building, giving it 4HP. So, in the interests of public service, I though I’d give a quick primer on the subject. However, originating as it does in an obscure book and having a very confusing and sometimes-contradictory set of rules, many players have only a passing familiarity with Void Shields, even those that actually play with/against them on a regular business. The Void Shield Generator is an increasingly-common sight at tournaments you’ll see them at almost every tournament you go to and especially near the top tables, where a variety of esoteric armies are struggling for dominance with each other. Considering how confusing and non-intuitive its rules are, perhaps we ought to take some time to clarify just how this little gizmo works. If you’ve been to a tournament recently, you’ve probably seen the fabled Void Shield making its rounds at many of the tables.
