Armoured Shell
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Armoured Shells are powerful beetle-like carapaces worn by the largest of Tyranid organisms. These creatures are akin to walking battle tanks, with an armoured shell tougher than ceramite. Anything less than anti-tank weaponry is useless against creatures with armoured shells.[1]
