ak1508 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I might mix some kits for my Alpha Legion, but generally, want to try and stick to the book images. And those so far have shown MKII, MKIV and MKVI for the power armour and Tartaros and Cataphracti Termies. If FW is not going to release any Fluffy models for the Headhunter Teams or Lernaean Termies, then those might be good to use for modelling them imho. I do love MKIII as well though, but those will probably be (along with MKII) for Iron Warriors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Cataphractii and MK II/III because as a front row prop, you need to just trundle up the centre like an armoured gorilla, none of these fancy nimble new armour marks! Your rugby Primarch thread is still a great read btw :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumas Caine Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 M4 all the way. its the end all be all of power armour. its supposed to be the most advanced armour mark and frankly i think its plain cool. also its one of the 2 marks that just scream HH to me. (the other being M3, im just not sold on the XXth being a fan of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I myself like Iron or Crusade armour, thos seem iconic for the Great Crusade and Heresy to me. As for termy atmor I'm partial to the sleeker lookong patterns, Cataphracti just seems to bulky to me. the fanboy in me likes Gorgon the best :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unholyechoes Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 In my magical ideal world my World Eaters would be mostly in MkII, with MkIII as AA, vets, heavy support and breachers. MkIV for bikes, jetbikes, landspeeders, and scouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonl Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Mk IV destroyer armour looks the best, followed by Mk II (with different helmet) and then Mk IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Threadromancy much?! I'm actually mega torn on this. I like them all equally, even VII has it's merits. But I think 3 or 4 just emobdy the Heresy for me and usually all legions fit squarely into fitting one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I think it's MkIV that came in the B@C box, and I must say, I really like it the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Word Bearer Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 MkII for me is the best marine armor. It has that old sci-fi feel while looking like something a superhuman warrior would wear. The armor of a Space Marine Legionnaire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Mehman Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Well, since this thread is back up, I'll go ahead and say Mk III is my favourite but my wallet likes Mk IV better. Mk III evokes the idea of always moving forward with its extra armour to the fore and we all know to always move forward in battle - so says the Imperial Infantryman's Uplifting Primer.

The_son_of_Dorn Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 MK V - Heresy Armor. Specific to the raven guard, salamanders and Iron Hand's. More specifically the Raven Guard though. With the aftermath of the Istvan and the drop site massacre, salvageable armor was not just a way of refitting the astartee's. It was a NECESSITY! To me the Heresy Armor denotes a simple idea which must of been a total nightmare to implement under the circumstances. Melding armor plate's of various patterns of armor and in some cases the armor of blown of dreadnought's. It symbolises to me something so much more than a miss match of armor. It in itself is a symbol, allied and traitor armor like, melded together to form a new hope in the deference in a galactic war to come. Plus nothing like having 6 inch reinforced bolt's extruding from the shoulder and leg plates. All the more spiky bitz for making those heretic's realize they picked the wrong side.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I've got a bunch of MkIV armor, though I'd be happy with anything MkV and prior (I started Raven Guard) so that makes the most sense to me. I'll also say that MkIII is nice because I also play Space Wolves (40k only so far) and that's what they had the most of (or so I understand). MkIV to me just looks modern enough to be something I'd wear into battle (willingy) while the ohers seem to offer too many disadvantages or look too old...

IronDrake28 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 For me it's gotta be MKIV Destroyer armour, and MKIII Breacher armour in second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barabbas Sogalon Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Nothing beats Mk II, the armour from the good old days before the legions were infected with all kinds of mongrels. It also helps that it's perfect for a man relying on washes for almost everything. Mk III is a very close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I don't think I actually have a favourite.. for me the reason why a particular unit or model has a certain mark is more important than the actual mark itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Funny how times change: When I was first getting into 30k, before I actually got my hands on examples of all the different armor marks, there was nothing quite like MKIV for me. I still think it's a good looking armor mark, but now that I've actually seen all the bits at one point or another, MKII takes the top spot, especially with that mono-lens helm. It's the OG armor of Unification and the Great Crusade, yo. Nothing like it. But all of them have their appeal. Even MkV. Those legs, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Forgot that MkII often has a grill too. Sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Cohort Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 My favorite pure mark of armour is Mk III but the vast majority of my models are mix and match which I guess counts as Mk V. It doesn't make sense that post-Isstvan Salamanders would have many guys in factory fresh armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
