A. Made out of "Wonder metals" such as Ceramite, Plasteel, Admantium, Wraith Bone, Living Metal, Crystaline, Composite

B. Enhanced through various means (Psyker attuned, or shrouded in disruptive energies, or hydraulics/Biotic muscles

C. Formed using DNA from various creatures (Tyranids)

D. Demonically posed weapon armor... need I say more?

aside from the Tau of course.
