*{{main|Space Marine Power Armour}}

[[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}}

At the time of the [[Heresy]], [[Space_Marine_Power_Armour#Mark_II_.22Crusade_Armour.22|Crusade-pattern armour]] was in the process of disappearing from the Legions and being replaced by improved iterations of Space Marine power armour. Even so, both sides were forced to reinstate older marks of armour to replace their losses, as well as scavenging from their fallen comrades.{{Fn|16}}
