        The rules never state that shields have no effect.

        OTOH it has locations with a 2+ save, and it rolls
its saves on 2D6. The Doomweaver stats came out long before
the Imperator, so you could change the Doomweaver phrasing
to 'doesn't affect units with an auto-save' and still keep
it at the same power level.

        Isn't the effect of Doomweavers, Wave Serpents, etc
on the Imp covered in the TL rulebook? Or maybe in a WD?

        Presumably all-around, or you could go with giving
them the standard 180. I don't believe that TL bothers to
cover that question.
