Beat Back	Immediately after a basic atack with this weapon is resolved during the models Combat Action: The enemy model hit can be pushed 1 inch directly away from the attacking model. After the enemy model is pushed, the attacking model can advance up to 1 inch directly toward it. You cannot move toward a model that is no longer on the table. When a movement occurs after a damage is resolved, and resolution of the damage destroys or removes a model from the table, then it is impossible to move toward that destroyed/removed model.   Errata-Follow Up (2023-08-23) Question: What is the timing of follow up, and do you still move if a slammed model is destroyed? Answer: 1. Slam attack 2. Damage to target and collateral damage. 3. If slammed model is still on the table, Follow Up movement. Explanation: The old ruling will still apply here. The rationale is the “slam” and “Slammed” descriptions include the target taking a damage roll caused by the action. Therefore the damage roll is part and parcel with resolving the “slam”. For the it was that you can not follow up to a model that has been destroyed as there is no longer a model on the board to follow up to. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Infernal) - PP Community forum

Release Trivia

• Name Origins
  • Aspis is the ancient Greek term that, alongside hoplon, meant 'shield', which is rather fitting for Ret's only jack Shield Guard.
  • Also, this is a historic term, rather than mythological.
  • And as a third declension Greek noun, its plural is 'Aspides'.
• The Mk2 Aspis had the most hitboxes of any light warjack or warbeast in the game.
• Released in the Warmachine: Wrath expansion (2011)

Lore

A marvel of Iosan force mastery, the Aspis is an unmistakable sight on the battlefield. The myrmidon is equipped to manipulate its own protective field dynamically and can catch bullets with it before they strike. A stalwart guardian of its controlling warcaster, the Aspis can smash even the largest enemies backward with blows of its force-enhanced fists to keep its master safe from harm.
