'''Exo-armour''' is a type of heavy armour, comparable to [[Terminator Armour]], that was used by the [[Squat]]s. It is was built by the Squat Engineers Guild.
==Construction==
Exo-armour is a form of powered armour. The extensive protection it provides is provided was especially useful when fighting in confined spaces where movement is was restricted and it is was difficult to avoid concentrated enemy fire. Exo-armour is was thus greatly valued by Squats, who often find themselves in combat in subterranean tunnels.
Exo-armour also serves served as an all-enclosing hostile environment suit. The development of Exo armour was spurred by the inhospitable nature common to the Squat homeworlds.
Exo-armour incorporates incorporated an integrated [[Power Weapon|power axe]] and [[boltgun]]. Squat armourers are were adept at forging magnificent exo armour, embellished with the visage of a Squat Ancestor Spirit. The armour is was handed down from father to son and is was probably the proudest symbols of status of the Squat military aristocracy.
The standard weapons fitted into suits of exo-armour are were often upgraded to heavy or [[combi-weapon]]s by wealthy Squat warriors.
