You know, I kind of like the simplicity of the Dune approach to all this:
If you fire an energy weapon at a shield, both the firing model and the
target model explode with the force of a nuclear warhead. (i.e. pick
up all your models on the table top and go home.)
I'm surprised GW hasn't made this a rule. It would definitely encourage
close combat!
