Tamagoyaki Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Did somebody know how looks pre-heresy (Mk. IV armor i suppose) or heresy era (mark five) Astartes powerpack? I can't find any informations about it... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168245-pre-heresy-heresy-era-backpack/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zazel Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Not entirely sure but from line artworks the top is the same as mk 6 armour mk 4 Markedly different from earlier power units, believed to be the first power plant to utilise a sub-atomic core for increased power production and providing essentially infinite fuel to power the unit mk 5 Despite the increased cost and maintenance difficulty associated with the Mk.IV power plant its virtually unlimited fuel supply and greater power generation meant that Mk.V armour used a very similar power plant, being made of simpler materials but essentially functioning in the same manner. mk 6 Moderately improved Mk.IV back packs form the basis for the Mk.VI power plant. Better cooling, together with greater redundancy provided greater reliability and improved maintenance for this type of backpack. The most notable addition was the return of solar panels and associated batteries which allowed Marines to power down the sub-atomic core but still remain active, this made Marines much harder to detect using auspex instruments increasing their efficiency in ambushes as well as escape and evasion. but similar in looks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/168245-pre-heresy-heresy-era-backpack/#findComment-1984353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Evar Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Some of the CSM backpacks look like old style armour Mk's if you cut the wing bits and re- attach the booster vents on to look like the loyalist SM back Packs. Its easy and looks good on any SM loyalist or otherwise.
