I'm taking the dive into 30k and love the new armor, but I'm a bit confused on which mark is what. BoC is i guess mark III? Burning Prospero mark IV? I'll be using the FW 1k sons upgrade kits for helm, torso and left shoulder pad. On the FW website, it looks like the mark III shoulder pad would be a better match than the mark IV?

So with the Burning Prospero box set, 1k sons head, torso, and mark III left shoulder pad a better match?

Thanks.

Calth comes with mkiv marines, Prospero comes with mkiii.

For 1k sons mkiv is more in keeping with fluff but the prospero box had to have mkiii as that is the next most common armour purchased from forgeworld and BAC had already done mkiv.
Most common forgeworld purchases in order are
MKIV ARMOUR
CONTEMPTER CHASIS
CATAPHRACTII ARMOUR
MKIII ARMOUR
TARTARUS ARMOUR
