Hello,
Since the release of Stronghold Assault, I was wondering if anyone could give me the stats/rules for Void Shields. I wan't to use them in my army, but I can't pick up Stronghold Assault until a later time. Any info on stats would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Av12, blocks incoming fire. Collapses on glance or pen.

The rules aren't that well written, so it's difficult to tell how they actually work, but that's the jist of it.

What do you thank about a list for Tau that just spams out shots from behind the void shields with a deep striking unit that includes Farsight to take out problem models your opponent may have?

How are you going to deal with D Weapons?

Do the void sheilds also work for infintry behind it? for example a squad of gardians have to be shot at and to hurt them the gun has to glance an av 12 sheild?

Yes, of course.

lol fun

I honestly think that these things will become broken. You can just put any shooting army behind them, like Tau or IG. What do you think about a Tau list where most of the army sits behind void shields?

Yes, of course.

No they don't, a void shield will only intercept fire for a unit that is inside side the void shield zone (which is anywhere within 12in of the building)

Which is what he asked...the guardians are behind the shield, as in, within it's 12" bubble.

Just take a Cobra and ignore those pesky shields!
