What do Chaplains Wear?

[jaxom]

Like, when the 10th Company was all Scouts, did they wear Scout armor? We know full Marines have Scout armor, but like did the 10th Company Chaplain wear it? What about Phobos armor or Gravis nowadays?

 

Let the argument commence.

Although to the best of my knowledge, GW hasn't ever mentioned this, The precedent has been set by the Phobos Librarian and Gravis Apothecary models for Primaris marines, I feel confident in saying that Primaris Chaplains would wear any of the new mkX armour variants.

For firstborn though, I'm inclinded to think that Librarians and Chaplains remain in full plate vs wearing Scout armour.

The Scout Company Captains wore Scout Armor.  I would assume they also wore Power Armor from time to time.  I believe Chaplains did the same thing.  They wore scout armor when they were in the field doing scout things, and they wore the power armor for ceremonial/leadership functions - as a motivator to their Scouts to get their own Power Armor.  I believe that now, they wear Phobos armor pretty much full time as Phobos is Mission Specific but still Full Marine armor.

Back in the 1st edition of Apocalypse, you could take the 10th company as a battle formation.  The captain, command squad, and chaplain, (which were all compulsory) wore power armour rather than scout armour.

It sounds like they put them all in Power Armor because they weren't available in Scout Armor.  We already know the Captain wore Scout Armor - but they never made the Captain.
