    MkVII is the most iconic, hands down. The angry face vox grille is just 100% iconic.

    The title of personal favourite would fall to the MkIV armour. The standard Maximus helmet is used by MkX now, but there are so many variant Maximus helmets that it makes it such a diverse looking mark.

    If you're lucky.

    Very nice video but a couple of pointers regarding two of the marks. The first one is that the mystery armour at the end is referred to as Imperial Armour and as mentioned in a White Dwarf article is believed to be a fabled lost armour mark by the Adeptus Mechanicus. It's basically the first ever power armoured design that Citadel made before the RTB01 plastics were outsourced for production to Matchbox. The second is that the X in Mk X Tacticus armour was an actual X rather than the roman numeral for ten. Jes Goodwin pointed this out in the early Vox Cast podcast interview that GW put out a few years back. It is possible that may have been retconned since though.

    After Space Marine 2 everyone will forget about Doom Armor and Spartan armor.
  • @xailjaderune3090
    My favorite armor is still Mark 6. It's what i started the game with, and when they made new plastic MK 6 marines i immediately bought them.

    You forgot that the Mark X Phobos armor didn't sacrifice protection for silent operation. It was one of the few new innovations that Caul brought with the Primaris project. As power armor hadn't seen much improvement since the MK 7.

    Love me the Mark 5 of how much of a mish mash it is. Still waiting and hoping it comes to Horus Heresy...
  • @Nightmare704RY
    I don't have a favorite but I would say the ones I like more are the marks 5, 6 and 7, and I like what was done with the mark 10, the order armor is the one I like the most has a design for normal humans.

    During the Siege on Terra, what armor was each faction wearing? Many have speculated the Imperial Fists to be known for their robust and reinforced power armor, which allowed them to hold the line against the traitor forces. Also, can we explore the Primarch and their diverse armor choice?

    mk5 can be divided into 2 categories imo, first is standard issue which is plain mk5 and then mk5 field armour which is a mix of mk2-mk8. imo its the best because you can add a lot of variety and character into your army by using random mk on each marine
