Heavy Battle Armor

About the Heavy Battle Armor

This is the wall a soldier becomes when nothing lighter will do, thick layered plate covering the body in enough composite and alloy to shrug off punishment that would end a lesser-armored trooper outright. Heavy battle armor is the province of shock troops, siege units, and anyone whose job is to stand in the open and absorb fire so others can advance, trading nearly all their agility for maximum protection. It is heavy, hot, and restrictive, and its wearer moves with the deliberate weight of a walking fortress, but the coverage it delivers is unmatched at the top of the armor bands. In a fight decided by who can endure the most incoming fire, the trooper in heavy battle armor is the last one standing. It is not for the fast or the subtle; it is for the soldier who intends to hold ground and dares the enemy to move them.
