During the time of the [[Horus Heresy]], Crusade-pattern power armour was being phased out in favour of more advanced designs for the [[Space Marine Legion]]s. However, due to intense battles, both loyalist and traitor forces had to revert to older armour marks to make up for losses, often scavenging from fallen comrades. The armour of the Traitor Legions from this period often displayed the chaotic and tumultuous nature of the times, featuring studded and riveted plasteel plates instead of the later smooth ceramite designs.{{Fn|1b}}
