Camo can be anything from a basic camo pattern at the cloaks to a technical solution where the cloak adapts to the environment.
If you refer to camo cloaks from a specific codex, maybe look them up in said codex?

I dont think they are either. I think they are cloaks that have camo designs on them... no magic abilities.


I didn't mean the magical aspect of the LOTR cloaks, just the visual camouflage. The way I remember it (it's been a while since I've seen Return Of The King) the cloaks blended in with the hillside by mimicking terrain.

The Space Marine Codex says: ". . . loose garments woven with light absorbing material, that imitate nearby terrain.

To me that sounds like chameleon-like blending into the background, not actual invisibility, but I'm new to 40K so I wasn't sure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1938696.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1938696.page GMT Camo Cloaks LOTR and predators.

Maybe true for IG snipers and selfmade camo.
Tanith and these swamp dwellers had different camo and both blended fine into the background.
Marine codex specifies otherwise and IMO chamaeleon like abilities are possible.

I think the terrain blending cloaks are made with what's called Chamelioline. One of the best types of Camo cloaks you can get.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1940003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1940003.page GMT Re:Camo Cloaks IG Codex sugesting any developed regiment could have them. Other capes tend to just be bog standard Camouflage.

Active?

Lets see. The cloak adapts to any environment and thus actively provides camo.

So they got cover saves too?

Maybe a eldar holofield could compete with the predators invisibility?
I see you don't like to accept active solutions without technical gimmicks and a neccessary power source.
But still anything running without a powersource is superior, as energy output could be spotted with the right gear.
Would bet its harder to find a 40k sniper than a predator.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1942104.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/317605/1942104.page GMT Camo Cloaks 40K.
