Several versions of armour have been developed over the years, with some older versions still in use, but most using the latest version of the mk7. Most suits have several systems and equipment as standard, although some specific versions might be lacking some systems as noted, but usually include a backpack unit that contains the power plant, environmental systems, additional stabilizers and nutrient reservoir. Other standard features include electro-motivated fibre bundles that mimic and augment the muscular strength of the wearer, cybernetic connections, through the Black Carapace implant, that allows for thought activated communications, targeting systems, range finders and tactical displays and sensors that include night vision, motion sensors and thermal optics. The lenses are capable of auto tinting against bright light such as flash-bangs, built in air filters and exterior speaks in the grill in front of the nose and mouth. Part of the life support system includes a life signs monitor that monitors the Space Marine and can deliver several drugs and stimulants as needed to fight toxins, poisons and treat wounds. Some versions also include gyroscopic stabilizers and magnetic soles in the boots to allow the marine to walk on metal surfaces, such as ship hulls in zero gravity environments. Most of the suits are designed to carry their own weight and with the cybernetic link become one with the marine like an extension of their own body.Mk 1 Thunder ArmourThe mk  1 'Thunder Armour' was produced before the formation of the Space Marine legions. This armour is not environmentally sealed and lacks life support systems, having only basic air filters and lacks many of the sophisticated sensors. The armour also only enhances the users upper body strength and arms as it was used mostly in melee combat. The power plant was also noticeably loud. The mk 1 lacks the systems to connect with a Space Marine's Black Carapace, and doesn't gain any benefits from it.Mk 1 Thunder Armour (PL6)Type: HeavyEquipment Bonus: +7Nonprof.

Mk2 crusaderFirst of full environmental armour designed for the Space Marine legions. It features 10 hours of oxygen, filters, various sensors to enhance the marine's senses, and the legs are powered so the armour carries its own weight, although the at the expense of the strength of the arms is decreased. This armour is the first to also include the cybernetic connection through the black carapace. The helmet is fixed forward, but the wearer can move their head inside the helmet. This doesn't hamper the marine's vision as the sensors connected to the marine via neural link allows the marine to see and hear as if they were not wearing the helmet.Mk2 CrusaderType: HeavyEquipment Bonus: +7Nonprof.

Such a character treats the armour as if it was an extension of themselves. Can activate all systems as a free action, instantly aware of armour systems, armour penalty reduced by -1, Max Dex penalty increased to +1, gains +1 to attack from the targeting system. The wearer can wear the armour for as long as they want, even sleep in the armour without becoming fatigued.Medical SystemThe armour contains a medical system that monitors the health of the wearer and can administer first aid and inject the wearer with chemicals to aid the wearer. The system is similar to a fast-use medkit, only automatic with a Treat Injury skill of +4, and 10 uses before requiring refilling. Contains chemicals to treat common ailments such as poisons, toxins, radiation, etc that the wearer doesn't resist on a failed save.Mk3 IronThe Mk 3 armour is a variant of the Mk 2 designed for heavy assaults, boarding actions and combat where there isn't much cover. The armour is heavier and designed to deflect projectiles. In other ways the Mk 3 is identical to the Mk 2, although produced in smaller numbers.Mk3 IronType: HeavyEquipment Bonus: +8Nonprof.

The wearer gains a +2 Deflection bonus against projectile/ballistic weapons, and ballistic damage is reduced by half.Mk4 Imperial MaximusThe Mk 4 was thought to be the ultimate version of armour for the Space Marines, sporting multiple improvements. Although the armour was designed with larger inflexible armour casings incorporating flexible joints reduced mobility a little, it did reduce maintenance and made repairs easier. The armour also used lighter but tougher materials to reduce weight but maintain the same protection values. The power pack is smaller and more efficient, allowing larger life support and nutrient storage. The armour also includes gyro stabilizers, a minor thruster system that allows the wearer to function in low gravity environments as if it was normal gravity.The Mk4 was also the first to incorporate a non-fixed helmet, allowing it to move with the head.Mk4 Imperial Maximus (PL6)Type: HeavyEquipment Bonus: +7Nonprof.
