It is sometimes worn by ceremonial guards due to its visual brutality, and can also still be found used in close-quarters situations by various Space Marine Chapters While successful in the conditions it was designed for, the armour is too clumsy and uncomfortable for conventional fighting, and because of this no Legion was ever fully equipped with the Mark III. Such as boarding actions, tunnel assaults and void warfare.
The Mark III was never intended to replace Mark II but was rather an optional suit specialised for situations where heavier frontal protection would be advantageous. The heavily armoured helmet was design with sloping plates designed to deflect shots to side, to minimise damage. Considerably heavier and more power hungry than its contemporaries, the Iron armour was ideal when cover was minimal and combat was focused on frontal charging assaults. Mark III 'Iron' power armour dates from the wars of the Great Crusade. 42276 Mark III 'Iron' Armour Space Marines 23.86 30 GBP InStock Home/Wargames & Miniatures/Wargames/Warhammer 40,000/Adeptus Astartes/Space Marines/Space Marines Troop/
