Kroot Armour
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Kroot warriors in Kroot Armour[4]
Kroot Armour is the plating worn by Kroot in the battlefield. Little more than scraps of metal converted into armoured plating, Kroot armour offers some protection while still enabling the aliens to utilize their considerable fieldcraft and to easily pick their way through forest and cover.[1]
The Kroots predilection for hunting has led to tanned leather hides being an especially common material used in the construction of armour. Fitting in with their practical mindset, prey with especially durable hides are often harvested to create crude, though undeniably effective armour. At least one shaper has utilised Knarloc hide in the creation of his raiment.[2][3]
