Since i am a big player of star wars legion, with their recent rules update and release of imperial Riot troopers, I wonder, if anyone has made rules for the riot troopers big blocky shields?

I treat them as Partial Cover, with the wielder having the option to duck/crouch to increase the degree of Cover. From there, just assign a Strength rating.

I treat them as gungan energy shields with the ability to make a dodge/block roll and receive half to 3/4 cover.

Looking at the miniatures, the 'shields' seem rather heavy.. So i wonder, should there be some sort of lifting roll, or the like, to carry/use them?
