'''Power Armour''' is worn primarily by the [[Space Marine]]s, [[Sisters of Battle]], [[Adeptus Custodes]] and the [[Chaos Space Marine]]s. It is a completely enclosed suit of armour, made of thick [[ceramite]] plates. The armour would be heavy and cumbersome to wear but for the electrically motivated fibre bundles within the armour , as well as the methods of direct interface such as the [[Black Carapace]], that replicate the wearer's movement and enhance his/her strength.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|23}}

[[Space Marine Power Armour]] is an extraordinarily sophisticated defensive system which combines huge resistance to physical damage with a sensory array and sealed environment which protects its wearer from the ravages of the void and alien atmospheres. Integrated with the armour are networks of electro-motivated fibre bundles which mimic and augment the muscular strength of the wearer, as well as connection cables which hook up to the [[Black Carapace]] implant of a [[Space Marine]]. The true genius of the design, however, lies in its close integration with the already superhuman physiology, senses and reflexes of the Space Marine within. Working in concert, armour and Astartes together become a weapon without equal.{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|23}}

The [[Sisters of Battle]] use a version of power armour designed for the [[human]] shape and size, known as Sororitas Power Armour. Sisters of Battle do not have the same [[Black Carapace]] as [[Space Marines]] do, as such some patterns of their power armour are not built with direct interface in mind, thus lacking the same benefits to strength and support systems integration.{{Fn|2a}} Other Sisters make use of armour that do benefit from direct connection via the usage of [[Imperial_bionics#Interface_Port| Interface Ports]].{{Fn|21}} It is also known that some sisters, such as the [[Hospitaller]], make use of [[Imperial_bionics#Mind_Impulse_Unit| Mind Impulse units]], which may offer another avenue of controlling power armour.{{Fn|22}}{{Fn|19c}}

Power armour is also favoured for use by agents of the [[Inquisition]] and those individuals wealthy enough to afford one, such as [[Rogue Traders]]. These suits of armour enhance the user's strength, allow for operation in hostile environments, and include auxiliary systems such as [[vox]]-links and auto-senses. Like the [[Adepta Sororitas]] though, the those who lack of a form of direct interface such as [[Black Carapace]] means these users cannot fully interface with their these patterns power armour and so some patterns are not built for such interface, and these users do not enjoy the same strength enhancements and other advanced support systems typical to Astartes power armour.{{Fn|2a}} However, some Inquisitors such as [[Amberly Veil]] do wear bodygloves that connect to dermal [[Imperial_bionics#Interface_Port| Interface Ports]] that mimic the Black Carapace, in the same manner as the some Sisters of Battle.{{Fn|20}}{{Fn|21}} An alternative method of interface with Power Armour also exists via [[Imperial_bionics#Mind_Impulse_Unit| Mind Impulse units]], eschewing direct physical connection with wireless control of power armour.{{Fn|22}}{{Fn|19c}}

Inquisitor [[Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau]] was known to wear an unnamed pattern of '''Skin-Tight Power Armour''' worn beneath a long cloak. Like most Inquisitors, he eschewed wearing a helmet in favour of a hat. As Clousseau is said to be a "typical inquisitor", it is unknown whether his particular armour is a rare or unique pattern of his or meant to represent something more available to Inquisitors at large. However it It appears to provide all the very same benefits of normal powered armour (with the exception of the head and breathing apparatus, ostensiblyif not worn).{{Fn|19b}} This is likely accomplished either via [[Imperial_bionics#Interface_Port| Interface Ports]] or [[Imperial_bionics#Mind_Impulse_Unit| Mind Impulse units]]{{Fn|20}}{{Fn|21}}{{Fn|19c}} ===Adeptus Arbites Power Armour===Some [[Judge]]s of the [[Adeptus Arbites]] are said to wear power armour capable of being concealed beneath their jackets, perhaps akin to the '''Skin-Tight Power Armour''' used by Inquisitors{{Fn|19a}}. ===Rogue Traders===With their vast wealth and resources, [[Rogue Traders]] are able to aqcuire power armour, whether by legal trade or illicit means on the black market, including the various armour patterns available to the [[Inquisition]] if they have the means to afford it. {{Fn|2b}} Like other non-astartes, without the use of [[Black Carapace]], to gain the full benefits of strength and advanced systems such Rogue Traders may need to acquire [[Imperial_bionics#Interface_Port| Interface Ports]] or [[Imperial_bionics#Mind_Impulse_Unit| Mind Impulse units]]{{Fn|2a}}{{Fn|21}}{{Fn|19c}} ===Spyrers===The [[Spyrer| Spyrer Hunters]] of [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]] are known to use extremely advanced powered armors known as '''Hunting Rigs.''' These rigs of unknown provenence provide far more than just protection and strength as other power armours do, but also advanced weapons, flight capabilities, and many other technological marvels besides.{{Fn|24}}
