	\| '''MK II - Crusade Armour:''' The oldest mark of power armour still in use, for the first mark of Astartes series plating was made for the [[Thunder Warriors]] and has only few pieces of ceremonial gear remaining. Any Astartes who is granted a set of this armour is surely an honored veteran of countless conflicts.		\| '''MK II - Crusade Armour:''' The oldest mark of power armour still in use, for the first mark of Astartes series plating was made for the [[Thunder Warriors]] and has only few pieces of ceremonial gear remaining with full suits of MK I Thunder Armour being all but unheard of in all but the most ancient of Chapters, specifically reserved for ceremonial duties only. As such, a suit of MK II Armour is the earliest variant that can still see active duty. MK II Armour carried the Great Crusade and is a reminder of the time when mankind still had hope, the elder machine spirits carry a touch of this glory and burn with a desire of justice and vengeance against the traitors who ruined the dream, tempered by a literal ten thousand years worth of experience. Any Astartes who is granted a set of this armour is surely an honored veteran of countless conflicts.

The Arch-traitor Horus is known to have diverted production to traitors sworn to him before the Heresy erupted, but the loyalists got their share of suits as well.

Many variations existed, most of which were emergency ad-hoc repairs done in the desperate times of the Horus Heresy, while the official variant used bonding studs, originally designed for expedient vehicle plating field repair if proper service is unavailable, as an emergency measure to make as many suits as possible in the short time available. Chapters which use this variant commonly are poorly supplied Chapters who aren't well connected to the wider Imperial bureaucracy, by choice or necessity. Other Chapters flat out reject the use, perhaps preferring to avoid thinking of the dark days of the Horus Heresy. Better equipped Chapters are unlikely to use this pattern, except for specific relics of legendary provenance.

The pattern was in testing in the last years of the Great Crusade, with the Iron Warriors rejecting it and the Raven Guard excelling in it.

The suit was designed in secret during the Horus Heresy to be back compatible with the Corvus Armour and to use advances from all patterns to give the loyalists an edge. Unveiled at the Siege of Terra, they were a nasty surprise to the traitor forces. Ten thousand years on, it is the standard Power Armour for all but the more poorly equipped Chapters.

Many suits are also reserved for the veterans of the Deathwatch, who issue this pattern as standard to the veterans it takes from Chapters. This pattern is expensive to make and a Chapter being fully equipped with this pattern means that they have close ties to the Mechanicus, a rich section of the Imperial government, or even the High Lords. For most Chapters, individual pieces are handed out to veterans who achieve glory and anyone with a full suit is a bona fide badass expecting promotion to command rank.
