Popular name for Space Marines, derived from the helmet shapes of Mk. VI 'Corvus' powered armour, an earlier pattern of Space Marine armour. Looked like KNIGHTS IN SPAAAAACE. Now they look like Stormtroopers on steroids. The Raven Guard has more of this pattern of armor than any other chapter.
Actually a result of games workshops' shitty molding skills in the early days and later attempts to retcon old models into being acceptable.
Look at this fucking armour. You know you want it.
Recently, Forge World actually put out a line of the old pre-Heresy armors, including the Corvus (Beakie) Pattern, and even older armors as well. This is far more awesome than it sounds, and the line comes with weapons accurately modeled to old Rogue Trader illustrations. You know those old, crappy show models you keep on your shelf to prove your Neckbeard superiority? Well, now you can actually get good versions of them, that you aren't pants-wettingly scared to play with.
