The Dark Mail

The Dark Mail is an armour item added in Total War: Warhammer Call of the Beastmen. It is a legendary item for Khazrak the One-Eye.

It becomes available after winning the Ashes of Kelp and Koldust quest battle.

Description
''This ancient suit of chainmail can counter the fanciful enchantments and magicks of enemy blades. ''

Lore Background
This suit of chainmail was forged in the distant past by an unknown smith, but its creator must surely have had a connection to the Dark Powers, for it has the power to trap spells of evil and death and grant their power to the wearer.

Strategy
In Multiplayer this may be a strong item to bring for its resistance. Beastmen Lords are similar to Greenskins in that they are susceptible to being focused down, leaving the rest of the army to rout. This armor helps make Khazrak significantly tankier in melee. Notably, this also works well with his chariot and prevents him from taking loads of damage if he gets bogged down in anti-large enemies.
