WH40K: Carapace Armor
Carapace Armor
[edit]Made of layered plates of armaplas, ceramite or other highly durable material, carapace armor is effective but generally heavy to wear. The stiff plates cannot easily cover flexible areas such as joints but offer significantly better protection than lighter kinds of armor.
