I personally have a soft spot for mark 2 especially in these colors https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/46/fb/76/46fb76b8fe1550c587984cd6703b1a23.jpg http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121012071716/warhammer40k/images/7/7f/EC_Centurion_Mk_II.jpg
and my favorite color scheme https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/86/8c/9c/868c9c7caa176b60ab8b417e58866bff.jpg

Mk 8 I think. Gorget ftw.

I'm fond of MK3,

Mark 6 and 3 are bae

Mk. 7

MK 5, i know i'm disgusting

Not really aware of the minute details of each armor type but I do really like the aegis armor's (GK) helmet. Also I like the design of the Black Templar wearing a tabard over their power armor (less to do with which MK the armor is and more to do with chapter decorative style).

My favorite model is the one that has its head ripped off so I could attach it to the belt of my Ork Nob

Mark 7, yeah I know I'm a bit boring that way.

The Mark 6 would be best for that, then he can stab people with the Beakie helmet!

maximus mk 4 baybeh!!!

I too vote for mk 4. I love that helmet.

But the best thing is mixing different marks together.

Mk. 6 enough that I made a small group of Raven Guard just so I could have a whole squad of beakies. Then Mk. 3, which is what I;m buying for my 30k Imperial Fists.

M4 and up. in general

But my fists look good in 2-3

obviously

I like mk 3.

DV era chosen for traitor and mk8 for loyal

Definitely love the Mk. IV above all else. If the rumors are true, and the Horus Heresy set that is coming out include three squads of Maximus armor, I will be in heaven. I also really like Mk. VII, since that is the most iconic SM to me (came in long after VI was the baseline). If I had my way, I would field a Battle Company composed of 50% Mk IV, 50% Mk VII. I like Mk VIII for sergeants and other officers, since that gorget looks pretty cool on them.

Mk 3 I like, and having imperial fist successor chapter ..... :-)

MK6 then MK3

Used to be MkIV (the FW one, the GW MkIV helmets look awful next to them). But now I like II, III, IV and VI about equally. I really don't like VII, it's so boring.

Agreed on the FW Mk IV being INFINITELY better than the GW IV. The FW version looks like vents, the GW version looks like a short elephant trunk. I like the general profile of the IV, V, VII, and VIII helmets. To me, II and III are way too much like a medieval bucket helm, they just don't look futuristic enough for me. I don't know why, but the VI helm just bugs me(and it is the iconic Crimson Fists armor!).

The segmented armor of II is really awesome looking. I prefer IV for my Crimson Fists since III is the epitome of the Iron Warriors appearance moreso than Imperial Fists, IMO. I like to think that my Fists will have broken out the museum pieces to rearm the battle companies while the forges attempt to get newer Mks out.

Maximus and Corvus are my faves (so MKIV and MKVI).

I like 4 and 7. Plain, simple, functional.

Mk3 for vanilla


Best model is Warp Talons

The one with daemons, maws, and spikes coming out of it.

Oh, you're thinking of the Mark ARRRRRGGH!

Mk2, closely followed by Mk3

Depends on the legion. MK 4 for world eaters, sons of Horus or emperor's children, MK 2 or 3 for death guard, iron hands or iron warriors. Can't be bothered going through all the legions but you get the picture

Hands down the best looking is MK II armor. Especially when you add tabards and surcoats.

Uh. Almost all of the power armor models are based on medieval armor. MK V and MK VII resemble a Klappvisor, MK VI is a Hounskull, MK II and MK III are straight-up heaumes, and well... MK IV I guess doesn't really have a base on anything. Of course there's also aegis/artificer armor such as the Emperor's Champion which resembles an Armet, and SOB helmets are Coventry Sallets.

I mix up as many marks as I can find plastic bits for on my models but I'm extremely partial to the MkVI helmet. Beakies forever.

Mk IV for me
