Zeroth Conductor Shield

Space Marines Portal Salamanders

The Zeroth Conductor Shield was a relic of the Dark Age of Technology, discovered during the time of the Great Crusade.^[1a]

The Zeroth Conductor Shield is a huge shield that houses a thermic conductor discovered by Magos Kleel of the Corpuscarii Cult, and while he never successfully replicated its function, other examples were uncovered throughout the course of the Great Crusade, including several by the Legiones Astartes Salamanders. When the Zeroth's reactor is activated, the shield's outer face is transformed into a searing white plane so intense that any weapon that strikes it is rendered to slag in an instant, assuming the attacker is not blinded attempting to land the blow.^[1b]
