Editing Carapace Armour (section)

===Scout Armour===

Per usual any version that normal humans have, Space Marines will have something better. Instead of [[Power Armor]], Neophyte Astartes who survive the Geneseed process become [[Scout]]s are given Scout Armor and Camo Cloaks. It is made of overlapping plates of carapace armour which can easily stop a bullet, while the fatigues are made of ballistic nylon which gives further protection without reducing the Scout's movement.

These hardened ceramite pieces include the chest plate that covers the Space Marine's torso, with shoulders and groin area worn over a reinforced [[Bodyglove|body glove]]. Armoured, elbow-length gauntlets protect the wearer’s hands, while heavily reinforced, ceramite-toed grox-hide boots keep his feet safe and dry.

The aforementioned ballistic nylon [[Bodyglove|body glove]] is impregnated with special fibres coated with powerful unguents that provide limited protection from atomic, chemical, and biological threats. It is also woven with small, gel-filled passages that allow the Space Marine wearing it to better withstand heat and cold as it regulates his temperature.

Nevertheless, the true purpose of this armor is to make themselves super stealthy instead of giving extra protection (Unless you're Raven Guard or their Successors who sneak around in full [[Mark VI: Corvus Armour|Corvus Powered Armor]] to get best of both. However there is a fluff reason for that).

Even Sergeants and Veteran Sergeants (who are members of the First Company) wear it when they volunteer to train the newbs. As unlike [[Marines Malevolent|certain]] [[Minotaurs|chapters]], you don't become top dog if you act like a total douchebag (in an ideal Imperium of Man, anyway). Wait a minute. Ten captains, one squad of veterans as honor guard each, sergeants are often veterans and ten in each company and yet the Chapter can call on a hundred terminators without removing honour guards and sergeants...hooold on. Math doesn't work that way!

[[Deathwatch]] Scouts have further modifications, with gel-passages, a re-breather system that contains both oxygen and water, auto injector gloves, a vox system, and a special coating. These upgrades deliver enhanced mobility and extended operations while sneaking explosives or teleport homers into the homes and HQs of unlucky xenos. That said, Deathwatch members wearing Scout Armor are full Marines so it's a matter of choice for them. This was also the case during the days of the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy for Recon Marines. The predecessor to Scouts. However, they rarely showed up in the fluff because they didn't have the extra shit the Deathwatch has. Instead, they carry Shourd Bombs, Vexilla, Nuncio-Vox and Augury scanners. With standard issue Boltguns that can be exchanged for shotguns, Chainswords, Nemesis Bolters that were basically sniper rifles and [[Storm Eagle]]s as their dedicated transports. Scout Armor was optional for Recon Squads so they only used it when they needed more speed for foot slogging without a ride.
