'''[[Space Marine]] [[Power Armour]]''' is a completely enclosed suit of armour, made of high grade composite [[ceramite]]{{Fn|1}} plating.{{Fn|55d}} The armour would be heavy and cumbersome to wear but for the electrically motivated fibre bundles within the armour that replicate the wearer's movement and enhance his strength.{{Fn|1}} Even though Power Armour incorporates gravitic energy dampers to reduce weight, it still weighs 250lbs.{{Fn|65}}

The Mk.X has several different variants, such as the Mk.X "Gravis" heavy armour used by come some captains and apothecaries, [[heavy intercessor squadHeavy Intercessor Squad]]s, [[Aggressor Squad]]s,{{Fn|7}} [[Eradicator Squad]]s,{{Fn|10}} and the [[Jump Packjump pack]]-capable variant used by [[Inceptor Squads]]. The Gravis pattern of Mk.X Armour is more heavily protected and allows for a level of protection akin to that afforded by a [[space marine bike]], but with reduced mobility comparable to [[terminator armourTerminator Armour]].{{Fn|7}}
====Mk X Omnis Pattern====

====Mk X Phobos Pattern====
[[File:PhobosArmourSW.jpg|thumb|200px|Phobos pattern]]
Another variant of the Mk.X is the Mk.X Reiver or Phobos pattern. The suit’s lighter-weight ceramite and streamlined design allow for greater mobility, and its servo-motors are engineered to be completely silent. The design allegedly sacrifices protection for stealth and speed, but As the performance differences between phobos, tacticus, and carapace armour have not been explored in the literature beyond, of course, carapace armour's incompatibility with the [[black carapace]]. As their name suggests, they are it is used by [[Vanguard Space Marine]] squads, including [[Reiver Squad|reiver squad]]s.{{Fn|8}}
