Shadow Mantle

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

The Shadow Mantle is a suit of Astartes scout armour belonging to the Dark Hunters chapter. It is constructed with an integrated bodyglove and an inbuilt Auspex.

Although the Codex Astartes recommends that Scout Armour be restricted to a Chapter's Neophytes and their Sergeants in the 10th Company, even the most fervent adherents to Guilliman's doctrine grudgingly admit there is merit to equipping more experienced warriors with lighter armour after seeing the Shadow Mantle in action. Its cameleoline-bonded plating renders the wielder nearly invisible, and the inbuilt Hunter-Killer Auspex has claimed the lives of hundreds of Chaos Space Marines by pinpointing the weak points in older or ill-maintained power armour.[1]
