Would Sternguard keep what MK power armour they were originally issued with or would they receive the newest version of power armour upon promotion?

This also leads me to a follow up question, will all new recruits then receive MK8 power armour as the forge worlds wouldn't continually make out of date versions would they?

I understand that the 40k universe has reverse technology in a way as tech priests have lost the ability to make certain pieces of equipment to the standard pre-heresy but surely the increasing MKs in power armour post-heresy must be improving (so MK4 onwards) in some small way right?

Cheers

They may also get issued armour depending in their role. Mk3 for instanceis still recommended for boarding actions due to its reinforced breastplate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528054/5635406.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528054/5635406.page GMT Space Marine Power Armour Mk musings

They get an old hand me down from the armoury, Mk.VIII is very hard to come by, most chapters only have a couple of suits at best. The IoM can't produce PA en masse, it takes a very long time for a suit to be produced these days, and most forge worlds can only make certain marks of armour, if any.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528054/5636240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/528054/5636240.page GMT
