===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}}
===Sisters of Battle Power Armour===
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}}{{Fn|25}} 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}}
===Adeptus Custodes Power Armour===
The [[Adeptus Custodes]] are clad in finely wrought golden armour. Their Power Armour is made from [[Auramite]] as opposed to [[Ceramite]].
===Vratine Power Armour===
Vratine Armour is a type of armour used by the [[Sisters of Silence]]. which shares design elements with both the power armour of the Space Marines and the silicate-mesh of [[Selenite]] void-mail{{Fn|8}}
==Non-Imperial Power Armour==
===Exo-Armour===
[[Exo-Armour]] is extremely durable and advanced Power Armour produced by the [[Squat]]s of the [[Leagues of Votann]]. Often compared to [[Terminator Armour]], it is capable of shrugging off heavy fire and turning its wearer into a living battering ram.{{Fn|15}}

===Armour of the Order===
The Knights of [[the Order]] on [[Caliban]] used a rudimentary pattern of power armour, before the arrival of the Emperor. Each suit was handed down from knight to knight and repair/maintained throughout the [[Age of Strife]], being one of the few technologies that the armourers of Caliban retained through the Age of Strife.{{Fn|10}}
