The armed forces of the Imperium of Man field a wide array of different marks and types of Powered Armor. From the legendary armor of the Adeptus Astartes to the individualized personal protection of Tech-Priest Engineseers and the ornate war plate of the Sisters of Battle there are many types of power armor to be found with their own distinct history and characteristics.  Armor of the Adeptus Astartes  Through their long history the Adeptus Astartes have used a wide variety of different marks of power armor, from the early Thunder Armor to the modern marvel that is the MKX armor of the Primaris Space Marines. Thunder Armor  From the earliest days of the Unification Wars transhuman soldiers equipped with crude power armor fought at the forefront of the Emperor's armies. These early soldiers wore semi-powered carapace that would later come to be referred to as MK1 Thunder Armor. In reality Thunder Armor likely combines a wide array of different types and patte...

One of my favorite aspects of Warhammer 40k and its lore is the sheer scale of the universe. No other science fiction universe compares in sheer size and scope to Warhammer. In Halo the entire faction of Spartan II soldiers available to the UNSC was around thirty. Warhammer 40k has a thousand chapters of a thousand Space Marines at any given time, a million transhumant killing machines spread around a vast galaxy full to bursting with unending war, and the Space Marines aren't even the apex of the Imperium's transhumant soldiery. In Mech Warrior or Gundam or Armored Core the universe largely revolves around a single type or scale of bipedal warmachine. Sure you have Light, Medium, Heavy and Assault Mechs but Mechwarriors can pilot any of these types and their weapons and technologies are largely interchangeable and they outscale any similar warmachines of other makes or models. The same thing goes for Mobile Suits, who are all largely of a singular type with few other compa...

The armored behemoths of the Adeptus Astartes known as Dreadnoughts are one of the most iconic units in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Present from the earliest days of the game straight through to today with a wide variety of designs and variants available there are few units with more options and a longer history to be found. Lets take a quick look through the history of Dreadnoughts through the lore of the universe. The Furibundus Pattern Dreadnought One of the first armored units in the game the Furibundus Pattern Dreadnought was a pewter miniature offered with a variety of weapons. Though the sculpting and manufacturing technologies of Games Workshop have improved vastly since the release of these original Dreadnoughts one can still see all the hallmarks that would come to define these classic Space Marine units. The Contemptor Pattern Dreadnought  First depicted in the artwork for the Horus Heresy the Contemptor Pattern Dreadnoughts were the most commo...

For weeks now I have been waking up every day expecting to hear bad news. For the last few months the gradual spread of the COVID-19 virus, otherwise known as the Coronavirus, has been a hot topic in the news. For most of January and February it was at least a distant concern. I was more focused on the new admin job I had just started in February and was having a tough time adjusting to. The last week of February I caught the common cold that was going around the office but worked through it because I felt it was important to put forward a professional, dedicated and hard working front for my new employer. Just a few weeks later however I found myself in the office watching as customers vanished, businesses shut down, employees disappeared from the office, either teleworking or simply self isolating and forgoing pay. Meanwhile many of those who continued to work were suddenly wearing masks and gloves, restaurants shut down, and traffic dropped. On Friday the 20th I made the decision ...
