Storm shield
The storm shield is a power shield used by Space Marines and Daemonhunters. It is a more advanced and bulky version of the combat shield, providing better defence. However it is also much larger and requires use of one hand, preventing the use of two weapons.
The shield is often shaped like the Crux Terminatus, although variant shield designs do exist, and is powered by a generator in the user's Power armour or Terminator suit. When the generator is activated the shield shimmers with blue energy and when struck it emits crackling lightning, which gives it its name. It is often paired with a Thunder Hammer.1, 2
The shield is effective against both melee and against ranged attacks and able to withstand the might of a lascannon or even super heavy weaponry3.
