Fleshmetal Exoskeleton
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Fleshmetal Exoskeleton is an artifact of the Iron Warriors.[1]
This warrior embodies the maxim ‘Iron within, Iron without’ in a quite literal sense. His body, long ago clad in the fleshmetal so prized by the Eye of Terror’s Warpsmiths, has bonded with his protective wargear so that his anatomy is metallic on the inside as well as the outside. A blade that manages to penetrate his armour will blunt itself on the hardened flesh beneath, and the return blow will not be long in coming. Even those enemies that somehow deal the warrior significant damage will see their adversary’s cabled muscles reknit in a frenzy of silvered fibres until they are rebuilt as strong as ever.[1]
