===Lorica Thallax===

Less power armour and more ''servitor body''. The Lorica Thallax is an even ''more'' extreme evolution to the already extensive Dragon Scale Armour.

The Lorica Thallax is a type of Power Armor worn by [[Thallax]] troops of the Ordo Reductor.

Divergent from their Astartes counterparts, it is permanently surgically bonded to the body of the wearer. So unlike the armour from an Astartes, the Lorica uses mechanical armatures to replace the primary limbs, and its protection only covers their organs, nervous systems, and cerebrum with the rest of the more 'useless' fleshy bits being long chopped away. The level of protection is at least on par with Astartes Power Armour, so we can deduce that ceramite is also used here.

Moreover, the armour system comes equipped with a compact reactor core to generate power for the Thallax's weaponry and the system can be equipped with a Jump Pack system. The armor is fused directly to the spinal cord and nervous system of the wearer, which marks them as a warrior of the Mechanicum and acts as a symbol of their eternal servitude.

As a interesting bit of trivia. The word Lorica is literally the latin translation of the word body armour. So Lorica Thallax is literally called Thallax body armour.

On the [[Horus Heresy]] tabletop, the Thallax armor grants them a 4+ save and FnP(6), but prevent them from Sweep Advancing.
