'''Mesh armour''' is commonly worn by [[Eldar]] [[Guardian]]s{{Fn|1}}
Mesh Armour is formed of tens of thousands of individual pieces of [[thermoplas]] interwoven to produce a dense material resembling reptile scales or chainmail. It becomes momentarily rigid when hit, spreading force across a larger area, thereby reducing the damage. The thermoplas also disperses heat rapidly, giving reasonable protection against energy weapons.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} The material is psychically [[psychic]]ally sensitive, automatically reacting to the wearer's movements and thoughts to maintain a glove-tight fit as they move and fight.{{Fn|3}} Guardian mesh armour also contains additional features, including an independent air supply{{Fn|4a}} and heat-sensing lenses.{{Fn|4b4}}
