Here The following is the a list of [[Ork]] [[List of armour|Armour]]commonly used by [[Ork]]s. It is as varied as the rest of Ork technology and some items may defy categorisation, but most fall under one of these listed categories:.
===Shield===A '''Shield''' is a little more then a metal plate strapped to an Ork's arm, that allows him to block an enemy's blows in [[close combat ]] and shelter behind it when shot at. It is rarely used , as most Orks would prefer to carry one more weapon into combat, rather then bother about their protection.{{Fn|2a2}}

==='Ard Hat===
Made of a slab of metal beaten into a rough bowl shape and embellished with rivets, and sometimes with added horns, 'Ard Hats are heavy helmets, that complement the protection offered by the Orks' legendary thick skull.{{Fn|5}}
===Iron Gob===These massive facial appliances are bolted on onto an Ork's armour, or on onto the Ork's jaw itself. They exaggerate the already fearsome appearance of these green brutes and are often viewed as symbols of athorityauthority. As such, they are ofthen often found of on Ork [[Nob]]s and [[Warboss]]es.{{Fn|5}}
===Studded Armour==='''Studded Armour''' is made of tanned [[Squig]] skin with occasional metal plates. It is commonly worn by all [[Ork Boys]], because it looks hard and offers some protection, expecially especially against primitive weapons, such as spears or arrows.{{Fn|2a2}} These heavy leathers are the most common type of Ork armour, and Orks often use the colour of their squigshade to show allegiance to a particular Clan or Warboss.{{Fn|5}}
===Flak Armour==='''Flak Armour''' is basically a heavier version of Studded Armour, made with several layers of Squig skin studded with nuts and bolts and more metal plates to make it more resistant to incoming damage.{{Fn|2a2}}
==='Eavy Armour===''See main article: [[{{Main|'Eavy armour]]''<br>}}''''Eavy Armour''' is made up of several metal plates, often actually riveted to the [[Ork]]. The solid plates give good protection against incoming damage but it is cumbersome to wear.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2a2}}
===Mega Armour===''See main article: [[{{Main|Mega Armour]]''<br>}}'''Mega armour''' is a suit of massively thick and heavy armour over a powered exoskeleton, that gives its wearer great resilence and incorporates a [[Power Claw]] and [[Kombi-Weapon]] or twin-linked [[Shoota]]s, but slows him down because of its weight.{{Fn|1b}}
