Editing Kabalite Armour

[[File:Kabalite_Armour.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Careful not to cut yourself with that Edge (Ha! Who are we kidding here!?).]]

The [[Edgy|edgier]] cousin (Both figuratively ''and literally'') of the [[Eldar]] [[Mesh Armour]]. Kabalite Armour is the main form of armoured suits worn by the [[Dark Eldar|sweaty pain goblin's]] [[Kabalite Warriors]]. They have the consistency of wet cardboard and don't do hot in heavy firefighting, but as a ultra-light protective layer? [[Get shit done|They get shit done.]]

== Overview ==

Due to the Dark Eldar's desire for speed and dexterity over defensibility, their armour is a thin, light-weight flexible bodysuit, pressurised to allow Warriors to traverse the vacuum of space. Just like standard-issue Eldar suits, they respond to neural impulses from their wearer and harden on command, allowing for the Warriors to shrug off civilian-grade firepower, but requiring them to rely on their superior combat abilities and quick reflexes to survive the engagement against more challenging targets.

It is unknown whether it is made from the same material as Mesh Armour, although given its standard-issue wet tissue paper quality, Kabalite Armour held one of the few distinctions of being just as bad as [[Flak Armour]] when it comes to overall protection. As of current Codex, however, both it and the Mesh Armour provide 4+ Armour Save as opposed to Guard's old reliable 5+. Kabalite Armour also has an ''edge'' (Ha!) in being lighter than Flak Armour. The armour set is also covered in spikes, and side notes in [[Only War]] outright state that the DEldar actually ''use'' those spikes in battle.

Kabalite Warriors wear armour of segmented plates, and because they are such BDSM tryhards, they are often held in place by barbs. Pain from those [[/d/|stimulates]] the wearer. Which is kind of [[Derp]], seeing as how a [[Space Marine|posthuman superman]] could quite literally rip out pieces of the armour, plate, skin and all. Then again, if a Space Marine is ripping things off you, you're already fucked.

Acquiring and first donning a suit of Kabalite Armour is a ritual in and of itself, since it means this particular elf is now a full-fledged member of a Cabal.
