A 'Ard Boy wearing 'Eavy Armour
Earlier versions of the suit were custom made by Meks, and were some times powered by some form of generator in a backpack suit and delivered through an assortment of pulleys, wheels and cogsTemplate:Refp. Current incarnations seem to be more crude and loose, usually welded by young Spanner Boyz or by the users themself.
It is commonly worn by Nobz and Warbosses, as a little extra protection goes a long way in a society where fighting (often to the death) is the usual form of career advancementTemplate:Ref. Those Ork Boyz who manage to get their hand on a piece of 'Eavy Armour are called 'Ard Boyz, and usually comprise mobs of their own.
