This could be one of the shield hosts detailed in a Warhammer 40,000 publication, or one of your own design.Įxample: If you include a SHIELD-CAPTAIN unit in your army, and you decide he has been assigned to the Solar Watch shield host, his keyword becomes SOLAR WATCH and his Inspirational Fighter ability reads, ‘While a friendly SOLAR WATCH CORE unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, re-roll a hit roll of 1.’ When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which shield host it is from and then replace the keyword in every instance on its datasheet with the name of your chosen shield host.
