LEGION MKII CRUSADE ARMOUR £ 24

99550101508_LegionMK2CrusadeArmour01

MkII Armour represented a significant technological step forward compared to the original MkI Thunder Armour, and was supplied by the Mechanicum, who hand-crafted each component to the highest specification. In the 41st Millennium, surviving examples of this pattern are still maintained by some of the oldest Space Marine Chapters and are venerated as sacred relics.

This multi-part resin kit provides enough parts to build five Space Marines in MkII ‘Crusade’ Armour. The kit includes; five pairs of legs; ten shoulder pads; five left arms; five right arms; five torsos; and five helmets. These components are fully compatible with plastic and resin Space Marine armour sets, weapons and upgrade kits.

Five 32mm round bases are also included. Weapons shown in some images sold separately.

LEGION MKIII IRON ARMOUR £24

The MkIII ‘Iron’ Armour is a variant of the previous ‘Crusade’ pattern adapted with additional armour plates to the front, as well as a reinforced helmet faceplate and strengthened vambraces for the savage firefights of fleet-based boarding actions. This extra armour turns an already resilient Marine into an almost unstoppable juggernaut within the cramped confines of a ship.

This multi-part resin kit provides enough parts to build five Space Marines in MkIII ‘Iron’ Armour. The kit includes; five pairs of legs; ten shoulder pads; five left arms; five right arms; five torsos; and five helmets. These components are fully compatible with plastic and resin Space Marine armour sets, weapons and upgrade kits.

Five 32mm round bases are also included. Weapons shown in some images sold separately.

LEGION MKIV MAXIMUS ARMOUR £24

This pattern of power armour was developed towards the end of the Great Crusade, using advanced technologies recovered by Astartes forces from scattered Forge Worlds across the Imperium. Despite being intended as the pinnacle of power armour technology, and containing many advanced systems, MkIV armour remains a valued rarity among most Chapters.

This multi-part resin kit provides enough parts to build five Space Marines in MkIV ‘Maximus’ Armour. The kit includes; five pairs of legs; ten shoulder pads; five left arms; five right arms; five torsos; and five helmets. These components are fully compatible with plastic and resin Space Marine armour sets, weapons and upgrade kits.

Five 32mm round bases are also included. Weapons shown in some images sold separately.

 

LEGION MKV HERESY ARMOUR £24

99550101511_LegionMK5HeresyArmour01

The iconic MkV ‘Heresy’ pattern of Space Marine Power Armour was first created during the dark days of the Great Betrayal. Remarkably durable and easy to produce and maintain, large quantities were supplied to the Space Marine Legions prior to, and during, the Heresy. As the galaxy spanning civil war progressed, new supplies of arms and armour for the Traitor Legions were heavily disrupted, forcing them to scavenge components from their fallen enemies.

This multi-part resin kit provides enough parts to build five Space Marines in MkV ‘Heresy’ Armour. The kit includes; five pairs of legs; ten shoulder pads; five left arms; five right arms; five torsos; and five helmets. These components are fully compatible with plastic and resin Space Marine armour sets, weapons and upgrade kits.

LEGION MKVI CORVUS ARMOUR £24

Designed as a successor to the advanced MkIV ‘Maximus’ armour that was derailed by the Horus Heresy, MkVI ‘Corvus’ Armour is distinctive for its’ relatively clean appearance and elongated, conical nose – designed to house additional systems including advanced Autosenses. The studded left shoulder pad, taken from the previous MkV pattern, commemorates the glory of those heroes who stood at the Eternity Gate alongside the Emperor himself.

This multi-part resin kit provides enough parts to build five Space Marines in MkVI ‘Corvus’ Armour. The kit includes; five pairs of legs; ten shoulder pads; five left arms; five right arms; five torsos; and five helmets. These components are fully compatible with plastic and resin Space Marine armour sets, weapons and upgrade kits.

Five 32mm round bases are also included. Weapons shown in some images sold separately.

In case you didn’t catch that – none of these Marine Armors come with weapons…So here’s the link you’ll need to quickly pull them up on Forge World’s site:
