Working in concert, armour and Astartes together become a weapon without equal.{{Fn|9}} Each suit of Space Marine Power Armour is a work of supreme artisanship, and although it may be one of many, each is a unique artifact whose spirit and history is of deep spiritual significance to both the [[Chapter]] to which it belongs and the Space Marine who wears it.{{Fn|9}} It can take decades to complete just one of the new Mk VII power armour, so it is often easier to make spare part for an existing suit than it is to make a completely new one.{{Fn|18}} There are numerous different Marks of Power Armour, most of which date back in terms of design and application many thousands of years ago to the time of the [[Great Crusade]] and the [[Horus Heresy]]. Each has its own lore and genesis in place and time. Even in the 41st Millennium some intact suits from this near-mythical age survive in active service as war-relics of the Chaos Space Marines. Countless others have been produced or reacquired since, and different Chapters often have entirely different panoplies they can call upon to armour individualise their forces. It is also far from uncommon for more recently fashioned armour to incorporate slivers or whole components from far older suits as revered connections to the past.{{Fn|9}} Space Marines go through an arduous process where they receive various implants culminating with the implantation of the [[Black Carapace]], which allows the Marine a direct and instinctual interface with the armour, making it in effect a second skin. The advanced systems of Space Marine power armour also monitor the Marine's biological functions, feeding the medical information to the Marine.{{Cite This}} ==='''Components'''===While Space Marine Armour has evolved and changed over the Millenniacrests, key components remain the same.{{Fn|15}}*'''Auto-senses''': Contained in the helmet, these systems include thought-activated communication arrays and audio filters, targeting reticules and range finders, tactical displays and auspex-linkshorns, skulls chains and a host of other features.*'''Photolenses''': Protect the Space Marine from light bursts and allow him to see in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum's as well as enable vision in low-light conditions.*'''Respirator Vox Grill''': This thought-activated device amplifies a Marine's battlecry to deafening volumes and contains a respirator to filter out toxins and draw upon an internal oxygen supplyspikes.*'''Auto Responsive Shoulder Plates''': Shaped to deflect and absorb incoming blows, they usually display heraldry including Chapter, Company, and Squad symbols.*'''Chestpiece''': Designed to protect armoured power cables.*'''Backpack Power Unit''': This houses the primary power core for the armour, as well as reserve cells and an emergency solar collector.*'''Life Signs Monitor''': Regulate a suite of life support functions, including an injection system that can regulate painkillers, anti-toxins, and combat stimulants.*'''Nutrient Reservoir''': A self-replenishing high-energy food store that can sustain a Chaos Space Marine's metabolism.

When the Emperor began his conquest of EarthIt might sprout spines or bony ridges, the "[[Thunder Warriors]]", the proto-[[Space Marines]] which formed part of his retinue, were armoured in the same way as the soldiers of the other warlords. A thunderbolt and lightning symbol was displayed on the breastplate of warriors loyal to the Emperor - this was the personal badge of the Emperor be covered in those days, predating the Imperial [[Aquila]] which only became the symbol of the Imperium much later. The emblem gives the suit its common name – "Thunder Armour."{{Fn|1}} Thunder Armour was not an enclosing suit and offered no life support functions, being unnecessary while the fighting was confined to Terra and the similar environments of [[Luna]] and [[Mars]]. This early armour was produced on a completely local basis and as such individual suits varied heavily and their exact designs were often a matter layer of personal taste.{{Fn|1}} The main part of the armour is the massive powered torso which encloses the chest and arms. Coiled scales or flicker with coruscating energy cables beneath the armour plating transmit power from the power pack on the back to the arms, greatly increasing physical strength by a factor of between 3 and 4 times. Since fighting on Terra during this period was primarily close-quarters, the strength of a warrior's chest and arms was of paramount importance. The legs of this armour Mark are typically not power-armoured at all, but are enclosed in tough padded breeches. The best-equipped warriors sometimes wore armoured greaves and armoured boots, and such additional protection was common amongst the Thunder Warriors.{{Fn|1}} As with all powered armour, the power supply is contained with a notably bulky back-mounted unit, most of which is taken up by cooling systems designed to prevent the entire armour design from overheating.{{Fn|1}} Although it is very rarely used in the 41st Millennium, some suits of Thunder Armour are maintained for ceremonial purposes.{{Fn|1}} This ancient style of armour is noticeably noisier than later Marks. {{Fn|816}}

==Imperium='''Mark II "Crusade ====Sisters of Battle Power Armour"'''===*{{main|Sisters of Battle Power Armour}}The [[Sisters of Battle]] use a version of power armour designed for the [[human]] shape and size, known as Sororitas Power Armour.

After the conquest of the main planets of the [[Sol system]], the factories on [[Mars]] were set to work constructing a new type of armour for the Emperor's elite [[Space Marines]]. This armoured suit is commonly referred to as "Crusade Armour," since it was designed with the planned [[Great Crusade]] in mind, and its production led to the Thunder ===Adeptus Custodes Power Armour being retroactively designated as the Mark I. It was the first fully enclosed power armour, with life-sustaining capabilities===*{{Fnmain|1}}, making it suitable for combat on toxic alien planets and the depths of space.{{Fn|8Custodes Power Armour}} The Mk.II Pattern was standard for the Legiones Astartes during most of the [[Great CrusadeAdeptus Custodes]], and its helmet are clad in particular became a symbol for the Legiones Astartes throughout the Imperiumfinely wrought golden armour. By the ending stages of the Crusade, Mk.II Their Power Armour had been phased out for the Mk.IV but many Legions still possessed them in great numbers. In particular, Legions not favored by Warmaster is made from [[Auramite]] as opposed to [[HorusCeramite]] or had many units spread out on the frontiers of the Imperium retained the largest amounts of Mk.II Armour.{{Fn|52}}

Mark II armour is believed by many to still be the most efficient example of power armour design, although with the caveat that the overlapping hooped armour plates are difficult to repair. It can still be found in operational use - in extremely limited numbers - amongst several [[Space Marine Chapter]]s.{{Fn|1}} Mark II armour had several subtypes, such as the Paravane subtype used by the [[Dark Angels]], which was known for its exceptional void endurance and enhanced systems. {{Fn|55a}} <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:100%">*<b>Gallery of Images and Armor variants</b><div class="mw-collapsible-content"><gallery heights="250px" widthsMalleus Power Armour=="400px" mode="packed" caption="Images and Variants">DAHeresyArt[[File:Maellusinquisitor.jpgJPG|[[Dark Angels]] Mark II Armour (Paravane sub-type) {{Fnthumb|55a}}TSEarly.jpg200px|Pre-[[MagnusOrdo Malleus]] [[Thousand SonsInquisitor]] Mark II Armour with Stygian-pattern helm{{Fn|54c}}TSHH.jpg|[[Thousand Sons]] Mark II Armour Achaean Sub-pattern variant{{Fn|35}}IWDecimator.jpg|Rare even among the Holy Ordos, this power armour is inscribed with pentagrammatic wards in the vaults deep below the [[Iron WarriorsTricorn Palace]] Mark II Armour with Decimator sub-pattern helm{{Fn|54a}}WSHeresy.jpg|It is highly prized by those who expect to fight [[White Scarsdaemons]] Mark II Armour with Qayanin hand-Pattern helm{{Fn|55b}}WEHeresyEra.jpg|Heresyto-era hand combat, and an Inquisitor who allows an [[World EaterAcolyte]] in Mark II Armour with [[Sarum]]-pattern helmaccess to it must have good (or desperate) reasons.

Although the M.35, M.36, and M.37 designs are usually used by Imperial Space Marines in the 41st Millennium {{Fn|12}}, a number of designs associated with older Marks of power armour, such as the Mars{{Fn|10}} and Phaeton{{Fn|16}} pattern backpack units, are still used to some extent. Additionally, the Anvilus pattern backpack is a Crusade-era Imperial prototype that incorporated advanced thruster vents for use in void operations, but at the cost of decreased radiation shielding.{{Fn|10}} ===Images of Backpacks' Variants=== {{Gallery|Phaistos-pattern backpack.jpg||[[Phaistos]]-pattern backpack for [[Heavy Flamer]]{{Fn|64}}|Proteus II pattern backpack.jpg||[[Proteus (Forge World)|Proteus]]-pattern backpack for [[Missile Launcher]]{{Fn|64}}|Mars-pattern backpack.jpg||[[Mars]]-pattern backpack for [[Heavy Bolter]]{{Fn|64}}|Ryza-pattern backpack.jpg||[[Ryza]]-pattern backpack for [[Lascannon]]{{Fn|64}}}} =='''Imperium'''== ==='''Sisters of Battle Power Armour'''===* {{Main|Sisters of Battle Power Armour}}The [[Sisters of Battle]] use a version of power armour designed for the [[human]] shape and size, known as Sororitas Power Armour. {{Clear}} ==='''Custodes Power Armour'''===* {{Main|Custodes Power Armour}}The [[Adeptus Custodes]] are clad in finely wrought golden armour. Their Power Armour is made from [[Auramite]] as opposed to [[Ceramite]]. {{Clear}}==='''Vratine Power Armour'''===* {{Main|Vratine Armour}}Vratine Armour is a type of armour used by the [[Sisters of Silence]]. which shares design elements with both the power armour of the Space Marines and the silicate-mesh of [[Selenite]] void-mail{{Fn|36}}{{Fn|37}}{{Clear}} ==='''Inquisition'''===Power armour is also favored for use by agents of the [[Inquisition]] and those individuals wealthy enough to afford one, such as [[Rogue Traders]]. These suits of armour enhance the user's strength, allow for operation in hostile environments, and include auxiliary systems such as vox-links and auto-senses. Like the [[Adepta Sororitas]] though, the lack of a [[Black Carapace]] means these users cannot fully interface with their power armour and so do not enjoy the same strength enhancements and other advanced support systems typical to Astartes power armour.{{Fn|7}} ===='''Malleus Power Armour'''====[[File:Maellusinquisitor.JPG|thumb|200px|[[Ordo Malleus]] [[Inquisitor]]]]Rare even among the Holy Ordos, this power armour is inscribed with pentagrammatic wards in the vaults deep below the [[Tricorn Palace]]. It is highly prized by those who expect to fight [[daemons]] in hand-to-hand combat, and an Inquisitor who allows an [[Acolyte]] access to it must have good (or desperate) reasons. The wards inscribed onto the armour harm Daemonic creatures who directly strike the wearer. The wards are temporary at best, some failing after a single encounter, but servants of the Ordos Malleus regard them as a retributive strike, hoping that with their death they might still weaken or slay such accursed creatures. The power pack used in [[Ordo Malleus]] power armour allows it to operate for a week without recharging. Alternatively, it can be equipped with a power supply like that used by the Adeptus Astartes.{{Fn|34}}{{Clear}} ===='''Delphis Mk.II "Ironclad" Heavy Power Armour'''====[[File:IroncladArmor.jpg|thumb|200px|Delphis Mk.II "Ironclad" Heavy Power Armour{{Fn|30}}]]A variant of standard power armour, it features increased personal protection at the cost of agility, with huge plates of [[Plasteel]] covering the flatter areas of the body. Exposed servo-mechanisms run along the legs and arms and elaborate bracing runs across the spine. The helmet is small by comparison and the gauntlets are unwieldy to the point where basic actions beyond wielding a weapon is impossible.The power cell system in the rear has several thermal fins protruding to shed away excess heat. Ranks of power cells mounted on the rear provide 12 hours of continuous operation before recharging is needed, but require a day of recharging after each prolonged use. The suit is also a fully enclosed void suit and incorporates an inbuilt auspex, good craftsmanship photo-visors, an incorporated vox, and a pair of recoil gloves. If the suit becomes unpowered, vents open automatically in the helmet to ensure the wearer does not suffocate.{{Fn|30}} Each suit is a personal heirloom item, colourful paintwork and elaborate scrolls delineating the history of the various users cover the surface; some users have also added additional ornamental shields to indicate their personal heraldry. The more ostentatious suits include large retractable poles for flying more elaborate personal banners and their vessel’s blazons. {{Fn|30}} {{Clear}} ==='''Mechanicus Dragon Scale Armour'''===[[File:Enginseer1.jpg|thumb|200px|A Mechanicus Enginseer]]This type of power armour is worn by the tech-priests of the Magos Militant and the [[Enginseers]] seconded to the [[Imperial Guard]]. Each set of dragon scale is individually hand-forged from adamantine and ceramite plating and woven with prayers of permanence and micro-etched with fractal incantations of defense. While offering protection of the finest powered armour, and augmenting the wearer's strength, dragon scale’s greatest advantage is that it is designed to interface directly with the tech-priest’s cybernetic body and draws its power from his potentia coil, never needing to be recharged while worn. The suit's systems include a photo-visor and a respirator. However, the user must have a cybermantle and potentia coil in order to use this type of power armour.{{Fn|25a}}{{Clear}} ==='''Other Imperial Designs'''=== *'''Light Power Armour'''By reducing the bulk of the ceramite plating, Light Power Armour offers the benefits of servo-boosted strength and a shell of durable ceramite, without sacrificing mobility or nimbleness.{{Fn|47}} *'''Heavy Power Armour'''Sacrificing mobility for thicker plating and industrial grade actuators, Heavy Power Armour turns its wearer into a walking tank, capable of striding through a storm of small arms fire without so much as flinching.{{Fn|47}} *'''Lidhl Light Power Armour'''Despite its heavily ornamented and impressive visage, this armour it is at the low end of protective value. It sees the most widespread use among the officers of the Scintillan Guard, for it allows a great deal of customisation to better display their heraldry and accomplishments.{{Fn|25b}} *'''Stormsuit pattern'''** {{Main|Arkan Confederates Armour}}Used by the The [[Imperial Guard]]'s Arkan Confederates' Steamblood Zouaves. Stormsuits are powered exoskeletons covered in high quality and resilient carapace armour.{{Fn|42x}} *'''Zayth Engine Armour'''The complicated exoskeletons used by the Engine Orders of [[Zayth]] are marvels of Dark Age technology. While not as advanced as most power armour, Zayth engine armour provides a degree of protection from environmental hazards and its pistons and servos greatly increases the user’s strength. Since no clan would ever willingly trade away even a single one of its irreplaceable suits of Engine Armour, most examples found off world are those salvaged from dead Zaythian cities, casualties of the endless wars. Designed to allow the wearer to operate in the hazardous engine rooms of Zayth's vehicle cities, engine armour also comes equipped with rebreathers capable of sustaining the wearer for up to 10 hours, and its shielding allows the wearer to resist the effects of extreme heat and most forms of electromagnetic radiation. The power cells needed to use the engine armour (without which the exoskeleton is nothing more than dead weight) generally last 10 hours before they must be recharged or replaced.{{Fn|32}} =='''Chaos Space Marines'''==[[File:Chaosspacemarineart.jpg|thumb|200px|a [[Chaos Space Marine]]]]At the time of the [[Heresy]], [[Power Armour#Mark II "Crusade Armour"|Crusade-pattern armour]] was in the process of disappearing from the Legions and being replaced by improved iterations of Space Marine power armour. Even so, both sides were forced to reinstate older marks of armour to replace their losses, as well as scavenging from their fallen comrades.{{Fn|62}} The armour of the Traitor Legions reflects these turbulent times, often featuring distinctive studded and riveted plasteelplates rather than the smooth ceramite of later designs.{{Fn|62}} Exposed power cables blend with sinew and vein and many Chaos Space Marines individualise their armour with crests,horns, skulls chains and spikes. A Chaos Space Marine’s armour will have been changed by long exposure to the [[warp]]. It might sprout spines or bony ridges, be covered in a layer of scales or flicker with coruscating energy{{Fn|62}}{{Clear}} =='''Non-Imperial Power Armour'''====='''Exo-Armour'''===*{{Mainmain|Exo-Armour}}'''[[Exo-Armour]]''' is extremely durable and advanced Power Armour produced by the [[Squat]]s of the [[Leagues of Votann]]. Often compared to [[Terminator Armour]], it is capable of shrugging off heavy fire and turning its wearer into a living battering ram.{{Fn|56}}{{Clear}} ==='''Armour of the Order'''===[[Image:CalibanBeast.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A Knight of the Order in Power Armour]]The Knights of [[the Order]] on [[Caliban]] used a rudimentary pattern of power armour, before the arrival of the Emperor. Each suit was handed down from knight to knight and repair/maintained throughout the [[Age of Strife]], being one of the few technologies that the armourers of Caliban retained through the Age of Strife.{{Fn|43a}}  These suits of power armour increased the wearer's strength, were capable of protecting the wearer from artillery shrapnel, and had cooling systems for the wearer's comfort. The helmets were capable of filtering out toxic environments, were equipped with vox-grilles which distorted the wearer's voice, and could somewhat deafen outside sounds. Only helmets worn by team leaders had intra-vox communication systems.{{Fn|43c}}{{Fn|43d}}{{Fn|43e}}{{Fn|43f}} However, this armour was considered inferior in every way to Astartes power armour. Unlike Astartes armour, these suits did not have enhanced optical systems, nor their own air supply. While they did have cooling systems to increase wearer comfort, they could not protect the wearer from extreme heat/cold like Astartes power armour. Astartes armour was also more protective. {{Fn|43c}}{{Fn|43f15}}

==='''The Auretian Technocracy's power armour'''Armour of the Order===*{{main|Armour of the Order}}The civilization known as Knights of [[the Order]] on [[Auretian TechnocracyCaliban]] used a model rudimentary pattern of power armour for its "Brotherhood" order , before the arrival of soldiersthe Emperor. Each suit of power armour was fully enclosed handed down from knight to knight and coloured a gleaming silver with redrepair/black heraldry on their pauldrons. The power armour was noted as being so similar to Astartes power armour that maintained throughout the release catches on the helmet were in the same location. Unlike Astartes power armour[[Age of Strife]], the Auretian Technocracy's power armour did not require the use being one of a black carapace, and its wearers were not gene-enhanced. These suits were the product of a still fully functional STC few technologies that the Technocracy possessed, thus while the Brotherhood numbered in the millions, they were all armoured with this power armour.{{Fn|44}} After the destruction armourers of Caliban retained through the Auretian Technocracy, the STC fragment for this power armour was recovered and presented to the Mechanicum as a new pattern Age of Astartes power armour.{{Fn|45}} ==='''Dulanian power armour'''===The Faash (the military cadre of the non-Imperial human civilisation known as the [[Dulanian]]s) employed a type of reactor-driven power armour utilised by their [[Scarabine]] mechanised troopers.

This conflicts with [[Forge World (company)|Forge World]]Unlike Astartes power armour, the Auretian Technocracy's depictions of the MkII power armour set and did not require the novel [[Horus Rising]]use of a black carapace, where an Astartes is seen in MKII Power Armour with and its wearers were not gene-enhanced.

====Squat Influences====The [[Squat]]s influence on After the development of MkIII armour conflicts across sources and time. White Dwarf 128 (1990) places MkIII development firmly because of the squat homeworlds in the galactic core. By the time destruction of the Deathwatch RPGAuretian Technocracy, the Rites of Battle supplement (2011, a second-party supplement) references the following:"A new variant of STC fragment for this power armour was created during the Emperor's wars with the inhabitants of the worlds close recovered and presented to the galactic core. These high-gravity planets were home to an extensive industrial civilization that put up stiff resistance to the Imperial Crusade."{{Fn|50}} Squats are specifically not mentioned, and this was released before the re-launch Mechanicum as a new pattern of the Horus Heresy tabletop game.By the time a webpost was written about it on Warhammer Community (most recently accessed 2021, but posted earlier), that has been solidified as being created for boarding actions and tunnel fighting, with no reference at all to the galactic core or high gravity worldsAstartes power armour.{{Fn|2612}}
