A question

Can i ask why does the Backpack of a Chaos Space Marine Power armour differ from that of a regular Space marine?

Does it have something to do with the type of armour the Traitor Legions were equipped with during the Horus Heresy, if so does that mean they have kept that design and further manufactured it?

Endeavour 19:09, 23 August 2007 (CEST)

The traitor legions have not changed the armour they wear since the Heresy but technology in the Imperium has changed, so the loyalist armour has evolved. Most likely that the warping effect of the warp prevent a lot of them from even removing their armour and those who can I would think would not want to despoil themselves with the 'traitor' armour, as they would see it. As to whether they continued manufacturing, most probably, as we know new marines are being created (by Fabius Bile) and as such a continuous need for new armour is required along with the constant demand for spare parts to fix armour damaged in battle etc. Hope that helps :) --Jonru 21:12, 23 August 2007 (CEST)

Danke schoen... (Thanks...) Endeavour 00:46, 24 August 2007 (CEST)

Pictures

Sorry, but some of the new versions of the pictures look, well, a little nasty. Coloured pics is a nice idea, but not esp required if the article is about equipment where colour is not relevant and may in fact hinder the clarity of schematics. Replacing a Jes Goodwin design pic with the seemingly ubiquitous B+C colour template is also questionable. Thoughts? --Mob 16:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)


I just did what was suggested.

Wait, what?

I noticed some inconstancies here... The article says that MKIV Armour was designed after the Great Crusade, but the Horus Heresy series clearly shows people (specifically mentioning Sejanus as having worn MKIV) wearing it during the Crusade's last days... So, um... Should someone fix it, or what...?

Or did the article mean what I said? I thought it meant after it was over.

Updated information from Imperial Armour Volume Ten - The Badab War - Part Two

It has come to my attention that most of the information about the Astartes Power Armour is outdated. Most of it comes from White Dwarf 129 (UK), which was published in 1990. Imperial Armour Volume Ten - The Badab War - Part Two (published in 2011) contains updated history of the Mark 3 through Mark 8 armour variants. I plan to change the descriptions of these armour variants using this updated information. As a side note, a Black Library representative directed me to this The Badab War book for updated information on Astartes Power Armour.

Mk X

Adepts, please pay attention to source for Mk X Armour paragraphs. It was stated as # 16, but it couldn't be that Source, because it is a 'The Horus Heresy Book Two - Massacre'!--Darkelf77 (talk) 14:20, 31 March 2019 (MDT)

Lenght and layout

Woulnd't this article benefit from being separated in different entries for each armor marks? Its Really a pain to scroll trough, and it feels chaotic --Siegfriedfr (talk) 14:43, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Seems like a good idea, this has outgrown the scope of a single article by far. I would suggest keeping an overview page with concise summaries linking to "Do you want to know more" style individual articles. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 20:18, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
In the end, instead of splitting the article, i opted for a layout refresh by uncluttering the article by removing uneccessary pictures, putting thumbnails to the right, and bolding the titles --Siegfriedfr (talk) 23:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
It just made the article worse imo, you can no longer see what sub-variants of what power armor looks like. Harriticus (talk) 04:39, 1 March 2023 (UTC)
I disagree. The page layout with multiple small galleries breaking the flow of the page made it a pain to read. Regarding armour sub-variants, they are still here, but one click away : click on whatever internal link is provided in each section to see what sub-variants look like in subsequent articles. And if a few images options were squeezed, they just need to be readded in those articles. Something i'll do later in the week --Siegfriedfr (talk) 05:54, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Wrong source for the Zayth Engine Armour

--So, the page lists Dark Heresy: Daemon Hunter as the source for the Zayth Engine Armour section, however, I noticed the book dont got any mention of it, with no results for Zayth at all. Anyone is aware of the right source?--Marvyn7 (talk) 13:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

--Found it, its in Rogue Trader Faith and Coin page 94

  • Yes, Source #32. I told you - it is shifted. There are all sources of 10-50 are wrong.--Darkelf77 (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
I gave this look and decided to give up, the source numbers have been moved around, deleted and reinserted at a different spot too much to quickly fix this. Basically all sources will have to be rechecked and re-numbered manually where necessary. And with at least 65 different sources spanning who knows how many pages of text good luck with that. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum (talk) 10:52, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
I propose we restore the version prior to that edit, and work our way back up from that. Also, i propose that the space marine power armour section be given its own article, which will allow to add more content to it.--Siegfriedfr (talk) 20:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
