Description

Shield Unmoving in Face of Terror is a Noble Warstrider of white jade, standing 19ft tall and of stout build. Care was taken by its designers to ensure that every exterior component was an ivory-white colour, ornamentation consisting of carved mountain scenes picked out by the shadows they cast, that seem to shift as the light of the Sun passes overhead. Though no symbol of unit or House can be seen on the warstrider itself, a broad mantle of orange cloth has been set around its massive shoulders, displaying the machine’s unit and pilot along the hems.

Shield Unmoving wields a massive tower shield built into its left arm, whose scale allows it to defend not only the warstrider but whole units of troops sheltered behind it. In its right hand, it wields the white jade warstrider Goremaul Hammer of the Thousand.
