Talk:Power Armour

Helmets

What are those helmets that covers the lower half of the space marines head? You can see them on the space marine captain with the pistol and lightning claw or space marines with flamers. Tyranid Memestealer (talk) 21:05, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Those are rebreathers for filtering out smoke and harmful gases. Mindwarp (talk)

Had a feeling that was the case. Thanks Tyranid Memestealer (talk) 06:39, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

On subject of Mk X and it's variants

Okay, nice and steady, please write here why you decided Gravis has anything to do with mk3 and Phobos with mk6 despite not a word in a fluff supports it? Tacticus is outright stated on Warhammer community to borrow elements from both mk8 and mk4. --Flutist (talk) 12:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Gravis is designed for better protection, as seen by it's +1 Toughness on the tabletop. That makes it like Mark III, which was an improvement on Mark II to provide more protection for marines fighting the Squats boarding actions. Given the Aggressor are Terminator equivalents, assumedly Gravis armour is more encumbering, like how Mark III was. As for Phobos, the improvement on silent movement and its use for recon troops allows a comparison to be drawn with Mark VI, which was spearheaded by the Raven Guard, like how Phobos is used by totally not Night Lord Reivers. The comparison is more apt given the Phobos' Skull Helmet and the Mark VI's Beakie. Perhaps "inspired by" or "based on" was not the best word and I should have written "comparisons can be drawn with".

I can wholeheartedly agree on "comparisons can be drawn with" mk6/Phobos part, but bulky, noisy and slow mk3 with heavily armored front plate that made impossible for Jump Pack to lift or safely land a Space Marine clad in it has little with wanna-be Centurions Agressors, not to mention Intercessors, who fly perfectly. Mk3 is not ultimate power armor, it has many disadvantages even compared to mk2, while Gravis is basically Power Armor 2.0. Also I would like to apologize: the matter should be brought to Discussion Page from the beginning. --Flutist (talk) 13:13, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, I do see your point about the Gravis = Mk3 comparison, I initially assumed the Despoilers were jump pack equipped due to the weird nozzles on their power armour. And apology accepted, I should have gone to the discussion page instead of mindlessly reverting you. I'll go ahead and add the bit about Phobos back in, while I'll leave out the Mk3 bit and only add it if Forge World brings out Gravis Breacher Squads, which would make a comparison more apt. --2001:8003:38E4:8100:21C2:9421:B69C:84B3 13:24, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

I know this is old, but Mark III can be lifted by a Jump Pack, as it was worn by the Ashen Circle. --2001:8003:3895:3A00:ACAE:DB23:71F9:4B29 08:30, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Just a typo in the book that has too many of those. The models have nothing in common with mk3. --95.28.167.165 11:52, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

They have the extra arm and leg plates, actually. --2001:8003:3895:3A00:ACAE:DB23:71F9:4B29 11:56, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm holding one in my hand right now. Leg plates are different, the chest armor is different, arms are mk2 with mk4-like elbow pads. Even so, legs have no protection from behind, you can see servos there as armor plates have been stripped off. --95.28.167.165 16:40, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Helmets: mobile or no?

A part of MK IV lore is that helmets for the first time became mobile here, but you can turn the heads on MK II and III models? Why is that? And is it true that MK IV has the most advanced autosenses, but slightly lower protection than MK II?

Because the lore about Mk2/3 helmets not being able to turn got old the moment FW produced it's first Mk2/3 models and is reduced to "less mobile than later marks". Mk4 has better autosensors compared to 2-3 (but ones mounted on Mk6 are more advanced), worse protection and is easier to produce and maintain.--Flutist (talk) 11:08, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

Custodes armours

Should we add the two other custodes terminator armours as well ?--Numeon (talk) 01:30, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

Theory on the continuity Fallout X-01 armor

Ok,so my theory on why the X-01 power armor is in the Galatic Zone of Nuka World. Before the fall of the bombs the X-01 was just reaching field testing status as in only a handful of suits most of which ended up in the hand of the Enclave and with the Enclave being the shadowy cabal that they are decided to use one of the suits as advertisement in the galatic zone which was suppose to be a view into the future. It is stated that the Nuka Cola company did have a military contract.

Its just bugging that people mark it up to a continuity error. Figure this should spark some discussion.

Warframe

Warframes are not power armor.

in fact they are probably more grimdark than the Eversor assassins. from the warframe wiki "Warframe: a specially-made techno-organic humanoid battle frame designed to enhance and focus the children's powers, using a device known as a Somatic Link. The survivors would be placed in Somatic Link pods in a facility known as the Reservoir located on the Moon, to control their surrogate bodies in a secure location away from their enemies."

however thats only half the story.

warframes are captured lowerclass citizens forcefully infected with an stabilized version of the warframe infestation virus

"INFESTATION describes both a disease and its victims – a metamorphic affliction without cure. Living organisms are consumed and merged into rabid amalgamations. Individuals are violent and animalistic yet the larger whole exhibits signs of coordination, with multiple swarms converging on ships and colonies. Its origins are uncertain but there is historical evidence of a similar outbreak before The Collapse."

in short they were average people including children who were infected by the halo flood deliberately by their overlords. who are then remote piloted by children who got mutated by the warframe universe version of warhammer chaos whose parents went batshit crazy while in said "warp" and tried to kill their kids only for thier children to murder their partents then get pluged into mutated murdermachines to be living weapons for their overlords.

warframe lore summerised>

• overlords create robots to colonize another solar system
  • robots rebel try to kill all humans and any variation there of
• overlords create the flood to fight the robots and infect 2 of their slave races and any other lowerclass human they feel like
  • goes about as well as you'd expect
• overlords kidnapp ppl to create the warframes to fight the above
  • who are batshit uncontrollable insane creatures of living grimdark. (this project was crazy it worked pretty much like summoning An'ggrath on a world, ie drop it off and wait till its killed everything)
• overlords send another colony ship out to try again after the above
  • everyone all the adults go batshit insane and murder everyone but their kids who murder them
• overlords imprison said mutated kids with magic powers and force them to pilot the warframes
  • kids+warframes murder all the enimies then kill their overlords at the victory ceremony

somewhere in there the over lords forcefully turned one of their greatest warriors into a special warframe of batshit crazy barely pilotable anger(oh and made him kill his son for shits and giggles), and turned another into a pun making ai
