What's your favourite Space Marine armour mark?

I voted IV. Love how aggressive the helmet looks. 2nd fave is MKII, not as bulky as III but still brutal looking. Hope the Rout get a special unit in at least one of these variants.

Mark 5 Armor for me. The reactive studs and the plating just scream imposing bad-@$$ to me. Mark 4 seems too "polished" to be on a gritty, front line space marine. Mark 6 has a nostalgic feel because it was the armor that I started with playing Rogue Trader.

Thanks,

I love my Mark V marines. It, along with Mark III is some of the most unique looking armour on the detail level. Sure it is the first normal shaped helmet, but the studs make that different. Also the armour straps and no bevel shoulder pads add tiny details that make this armour my favorite.

Mark III is second, if only because I love the Mohawk command helmet.

Mark I just looks way tool faaaabulous for my tastes.

II and III and IV are just a bit primitive.

V (the Dalek marine), looks like they've got Space Measles.

VI is actually my era. The Womble Marines were my first Space Marines, but that doesn't mean I don't find them silly. Though I suppose they must do a wicked-fierce headbutt.

VII and VIII are my favourites. I guess I go with VIII because the collar makes armour sense and chaplains can paint it black with a little white bit at the front.

I have a soft spot for the Mk 6. It's the helmet combined with the first memories of 40k.

The thing that I wonder about; isn't the helmet on the Mk 3 supposed to be fixed forward, leaving the wearers head free to rotate inside? Base model for the Terminator helmet, or has that all been reconed like case-less bolter rounds?

MARK III

IRON ARMOUR for IRON WARRIORS

...and it looks like heresy too... ;-)

Original MKII and MKIII had fixed helms, but later patterns rectified this.

From an aesthetics point of view, Mk II or Mk III.

Modern Mk VII for me! Iconic, clean, and easy to acquire (most prevalent in all the kits)!

Mk II followed by Mk III for me because they look so grim, badass, and brutal to me
