Brother Shrike Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 MK6 Corvus Armor 1 row second from left and 4th row 3rd from left http://www.tvxc.org/minis/torso_cyran.jpg everything you need to make a set comes with the tac squad the chest with the 4 cables is the one you want this is actually incorrect. the tactical sprue doesn't have a mk.6 torso. that is a mark 4 torso i believe (maybe mk 5) but the only mk 6 torso in plastic is on the SW sprue. mk 6 armor has 3 cables. one vertical, the other two on either side, sloping away. here. and here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esinhorn Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Thanks I updated the info for mk6 Your right the SW sprue does have the only mk6 chest But the one with cables in the tac sprue is a good stand-in It looks to be modified MK5(which would still work for Heresy era) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 actually thats incorrect, Mk7 'Eagle' armour is so named because it commonly bears an Eagle on its chest plastron, most people therefor simply label the eagle torso on the tactical sprue as Mk7 with just a glance, but if you actually look at it you'll see it has the same belt buckle and power cables as the Mk6 torso on the Space Wolf sprue, and on the 3rd edition sprues the eagle torso was with the beakie head.. so its basically a Mk6 with a chest plate bolted on.

Lord Noble Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 mk 6 armor has 3 cables. one vertical, the other two on either side, sloping away. here.and here If we're going to nit-pick, even your description and example (while not completely wrong) are incomplete as the Original RT plastic Marines had three cables which connected to a box in the middle of the chest, which then went into a single cable connecting to the belt. Take a look:Scan of RT Plastic Sprues Enjoy! -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look:Scan of RT Plastic Sprues Enjoy! -J You're right. But my post was pretty correct, considering that I was making that description based on memory. Also, if you look at the Mk 6 metal armor here and here, you'll notice that the bottom (4th) cable has been dropped. <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddrust Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi all. just joined forum due to my 40k passion but in particular my heresy fasination. been doing the hobby since 1987 and my collection is vast. i have a massive blood angel army which i use as pre heresy army but i tried to make pre heresy world eater army. however the cost started to get vast so got mixtures of mk6 & 7 in army. see pictures below... http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2702.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2699.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2698.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2697.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2691.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2693.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd148/reddrust/IMGP2696.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warmaster Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Oh, for all the Pre-Heresy Ultramarine players, the Tyrannic War Veteran with the bolter and grenade is wearing a modified Mk.

ProteanSun Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 The new GW catalouge that came out, the has the Armor through the ages, has MkIV listed seperately from the Maximus, but I thought the were the same kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esinhorn Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 Misprint on the catalogue mk1 is thunder,mk2 is crusade,mk3 is iron,MK 4 is maximus, mk5 is Heresy, mk6 is corvus,and mk7 is eagle once all the dust has settled with GW mailorder I'll adjust the guide to reflect the new choices since some have gone away.
