=Trivia=
{{trivia}}

Originally only five Armour variants were released (Mark 1 to 5, product codes 070158/7 to /11){{Fn|2b}}. This was later expanded to twelve variants by adding two Mark 6 models (070270/3 and /6), one Mark 8 model (070380/1) and four [[Artificer Armour]] models (070270/1, /2, /4 and /5).{{Fn|1}} A set that is very reminiscent of the original five armour marks has been released in resin with plastic components under the title [[Miniatures: Armour Through the Ages|"Armour Through the Ages"]].
