As I recall, every form of stopgap armour directly after the Mk IV Maximus (as in battlfield repair and innovation) but before the Corvus was broadly categorised as the Mk V Heresy, despite its near complete lack of conformity. The Corvus was given to the Raven Guard first (hence the name) and re-designated the Mk VI. Edit: Also, the studded pads found throughout the Heresy pattern were an innovation directly made to counter the advanced ammunition the traitor legions got their hands on; designed to shear off in layers as they took damage rather than a single solid plate fracturing entirely.

MKV was never actually "in production", it's basically a hodge-podge of armor parts from previous marks cobbled together to replace broken pieces in the supply droughts of the heresy. It's essentially only called MKV as a sort of archival thing, it's not actually its own definitive thing. Then the MKVI was given to the Raven Guard (because there weren't many suits of it, but there also weren't many Raven Guard at the time, probably only a little more than a thousand marines), and later (as of Horus Heresy 2.0) rolled out to other legions.

@MrConna6

The Aegis Armor is easily my favorite. The look and design of classical suits, which follows the Paladin aesthetic the Grey Knights have, is distinct enough to immediately set them apart from their brethren, even to those who’ve never seen a Space Marine.

The Mk8 armor was costly to make so it was mainly given to Space Marine Officers and Special squads like Deathwatch.

Corvus is easily my favourite outside of gravis. I just love the sleek design of the corvus with the bubble shoulder and beak adding a little extra flair while I love the gravis for just being fucking massive. Like I can imagine a squad of aggressors lumbering into flamer range, getting shot to shit and just BARELY incinerating all in their path. Another cool thing to note is that mark 4 and mark 10 both have the same helmets. Also speaking of helmets if mark 10 had the aquila pattern helmet it would easily beat out both gravis and corvus for me

i love the beaky helmets man. idk why, all of their variants look awesome to me, then the Mk VII, looks great.

I always laugh at your endings. I know its coming (giggety) in some way but i still laugh.

MKVIII doesn't just have the kneck guard, there's also additional armour over the hip, stomach and shoulder joints, as well as improved mobility in the ankles. It's just often not all depicted in artwork.

you know it's gonna be a good video when the background music is Everywhere At The End of Time

Devastator centurions (I think that's what they were called anyway) are my overall favorites but I'm rather partial to the mk3, mk2 for their beefiness. The mk4 and mk7 are good too. Truthfully though, in rts games I've always liked plopping turrets and AA all around the map until I can get a shitload of tanks and arty. So infantry variants don't make as much of a difference to me generally.

MK 3 is my fav. I love the design and feel. I'm actually planning on making a custom Marine chapter, outfitted with the MK 3's.

Ceramite may be a "super fantastical sci fi metal", but the idea is actually based on tank armour from the 20th century, specifically the ceramic Chobham armour of the Challenger and Abrams tanks. The name 'ceramite' is obviously based on the 'ceramic' composite, but given a more sci-fi sounding name. As with most things in 40k, there's basis in the real world. Boltguns are another example of such.

personaly i love the gravis pattern. i think the large hulking aesthetic is amazing and works well with my love of melee in games that should not have being effective

Good shit as usual Arthur!!!

The Mk. IV is considered the best mark out of all the marks available, outside of Mk. X. It is why, right before Horus launched the Heresy, he and Kelbor-Hal made sure every traitor Legions were almost entirely geared with it, even tho Death Guard and Iron Warriors preferred the Mk. III. The Mk. V is not really a model to begin with. It's the amalgamation of field repair, personal modifications and tweaks made by every marine on the field to compensate the lack of supply. Not a single Mk. V armor would look the same, because it was not a real mark; I even think it was named like that retroactively. Mk. VI's development started right at the end of the Great Crusade. It was (when it was still technically Mk. V) named Corvus to honor Corax, Raven Guard's Primarch, because his legion used the armor first to test it on the field. When the Heresy broke out and the Raven Guard went back to Terra, it was all gifted to them when they needed to grow back in strength (some were stolen by Alpha Legion operatives alongside plans, which explains why traitors have it too). Mk. VII's development was launched right after Mk VI's. It was made to be more resilient than Mk. VI, but less expensive and technical than the Mk. IV. The battlefields of the late Horus Heresy were its trial phases, and by the time of the Siege of Terra, many if not the majority of the defenders (Imperial Fists, Blood Angels and White Scars, plus some remnants of other loyalist Legions) were equipped with Mk. VII armors.

The neckguard doesnt limit mobility but bottom visibility, and you cant slap a corvus helmet on it due to the beak interfiering with the neckguard (you can prolly reffer to it as a gorget).

Its just a shame they aren't represented as well as they could be in plastic

Love the Mark 4 Maximus armor imo its the best design.

I believe that the Heresy armour's molecular studs were actually just used to fuse more armour onto the old armour, as when the Heresy started they went from fighting some AP weapons strong enough to kill a space marine only carried by afew specialised squads (assuming an alien species even had them) to fighting the fully automatic sniper rifles of the Traitor marines, meaning that they needed more armour to actually defend against anything.

you using the everywhere at the end of time music is so terrifying to me and i dont know why

not even just a WH thing but usually on things like a helm/ or car its good to make your combat thing look aggressive. so short and not as thought out or thorough answer its an intimidation display.

The Night Lords must be salivating over getting their hands on some phobos pattern armours

Phobos pattern is just awesome aesthetically. Kayvaan Shrike is my favorite space marine of all time.

I love the mark 10 I’m so happy it’s the new look. LOOKS SO COOL

Notable thing about the Mark 5, in particular the molecular bonding studs. The marines found a use for them actually beyond helping hold the armor together. Specifically against bolter weapons those studs were very helpful at increasing survivability. To explain if those studs take a bolter shell it would penetrate the stud and detonate essentially on the surface of the armor instead of inside the squishy meaty bits. Additionally they were tough enough, and the shaped in such a way that if you struck the stud it might just ricochet off. Weirdly Mark V armor was pretty great and cost effective method for fighting other space marines, not the best, but still really good. Also the Mark 8 from what I remember was a design asked for by the Space Marines themselves, the simple idea being with how the chest was shaped you could have this unfortunate thing where if a bullet struck the upper torso plate it had a not insignificant chance of ricocheting up under the marine's helmet and into the lower jaw. So hence the gorget being added.

While the Mark 10 Phobus is my favourite, I have say that the Mark 5 Heresy Helmet looks the business. Very predatory...no wonder the Charcaradons use it.

Idk what mark i like but i like ur vids so here have a new sub :>

Ceramite is actually not a metal. It’s a compound armor scheme comprised of ceramics and Adamantium.

I honestly really like the concept art of the Thunder Armor. The one shown at 2:44 is mostly what I mean, it does look really fucking cool, like stylized auramite Aquila armor. The no powered leg thing is supremely stupid, you'd think it would be the other way around to let you carry the armor's weight better, but on a purely aesthetic basis this one gets me. As for the actually good sets of armor? Crusade, Iron, and mandatory beaky helmet. Aquila is nice enough, pretty good as a baseline standard armor for the 41st Millennium. Oh, and FUCK anything to do with Primaris, that shit can pop a nut and fuck off.

Hi Arthur I am Vlad. I have to tell you that I really enjoy your videos!

I’m a gravis fan, love the chunky boi aesthetic.

Heresy pattern has this rugged, more grim look to it that the Mk2 and Mk3 have except it doesn't remind you of past glories, only horror. Also the funniest "feature" of Mk5 being since the added weight needs more power thus need more cables but those cables need more protection so they add MORE armor which means more power needed to be able to carry that extra weight and it goes in a neverending loop.

I love all of the Mark 10 armor and variants they are personally my favorites.

Thank you!

My favourite part about the MK VI is the beak has extra communications equipment so I have equipped most of my officer models with it because they will need that ability more than most.

The bonding studs while not for additional armour, do provide it where they are fitted, hence the use on the left shoulder

White scars on jet bikes and Corvus armor looks great and kinda makes sense

I really like helmets from mark 2/3.

I realize we will probably never get it, but i would love having some Thunder Warrior models. Include some Techno-Barbarian models and we could have real Unification War battles. Am I the only person that wants this?

Runic armor for those special wolf bois. Surprised its not like...Runes of the Wulfen armor...given their naming conventions...so Vikings in space confirmed...just very...fluffy at times. Artificer armor is for techmarines...I think and it gave them a bonus in 3rd/4th edition...I also think there was an additional upgrade that had a seperate name or category that increased the save to a 2 plus that wasn't terminator armor, but reinforced/close. I upgraded my Librarian to that variant and it was fun...I had an epistolary at the time too...I honestly didn't really dig psychic phases, but yeah, I've got my old vet.

Addition to MK5, they also shoved a shitload of sensory equipment into the helmet, which gave it it's iconic beak.

I do believe that the aegis armour was the mark 9 and was made exclusive for greyknights explains its apparent absence

I love the crusade helmet and the corvus armor.

Nice video 👍

just slap on a Mk10 Phobos helmet on a Mk7 body and boom thats my favorite the versatility of the Mk7 with the epic gas mask-ness of the Mk10 Phobos helmet it just looks so cool

I mean the Mk.8 might have gotten hate but to a non-space marine combatant even a space marine often the only viable weak spots are the soft seals on the joint and the neck seals, which you guessed so unless heavy weaponry that ignores armour get deployed the overall ceramite shell is pretty tough to crack so most often the neck was a very very valued weak spot especially in melee combat, having a gorget to guard the soft seal is important, I mean even the newer Tacticus or Gravis plates I believe based upon experience received a gorget of sort although its not directly next to the helmet more a part of the lower breastplate. Just my take from what I remember reading, softseals are a good way to get fucked even if you have to have them on the armour.

The mark 3 is my fav because DG duh but my favorite little thing is that the in canon reason the protection and mobility swap is because they literally added more joint plating, thus restricting movement

I always liked the Mk V armor because of the studs. For my EC, I did a mix. You know, it always was a shame that the stats were just generic so all that mattered was appearance.

10 Tacticus is my favorite because it looks so clean

i love that the stealth armour for the primaris is the stealth armour, when it would be the standard for any other universe

Mark IV and Mark V are absolutely best Plus Mark V' - little mistake there. Studs there were to basicly bolt additional armor plates, and if marine got hit in said body-part, the studs were ment to take the damage of it. This is due to the armor, being mostly suited/designed to have in mind fighting other space marines, rather than other enemies.
