Rare even among the Holy Ordos, this power armour is inscribed with pentagrammatic wards in the vaults deep below the [[Tricorn Palace]]. It is highly prized by those who expect to fight [[daemons]] in hand-to-hand combat, and an Inquisitor who allows an [[Acolyte]] access to it must have good (or desperate) reasons. The wards inscribed onto the armour harm Daemonic creatures who directly strike the wearer. The wards are temporary at best, some failing after a single encounter, but servants of the Ordos Malleus regard them as a retributive strike, hoping that with their death they might still weaken or slay such accursed creatures. The power pack used in [[Ordo Malleus]] power armour allows it to operate for a week without recharging. Alternatively, it can be equipped with a power supply like that used by the Adeptus Astartes.{{Fn|34}}

===='''Ignatus pattern'''====

'''Ignatus pattern''' power armours are all fine examples of Mechanicus artisans. Each of them are individuality crafted only for representatives of the [[Inquisition|Holy Inquisition]]. Of course not as durable as Adeptus Astartes power armours, the Ignatus-pattern is far better design than those sold to nobles, rogue traders and other agents of the Imperium.{{Fn|14}}
Like every other power armour variant, Ignatus too is made of thick ceramite armour plates and incorporated electro-muscles so the user can even use the power armour in the first place. The optional helmet protects the wearer from toxic gasses,allows the wearer to breathe underwater, and even survive in vacuum as long as the suit has power. The helmet has photo-visors so the user can see in the dark and an automatically closing visor renders blind-grenades useless against the wearer. micro-bead, and an integral auspex. These devices can be controlled by speaking to the armour’s machine spirit, or the wearer can commune with his armour directly if they have a cerebral plug, MIU, or similar device. It is also possible to use a backpack for the suit which acts as external power-source. With this power-backpack the wearer can use his armour for five continuous days in battle conditions.{{Fn|14}}
Because the Inquisition often has to deal with [[Ruinous Powers]] and other heretical forces, Ignatus suits are commonly inlaid with [[Hexagrammic Wards|hexagrammic wards]]. {{Fn|14}}
