When Chaos Emperor Nero and Warmaster Horus swayed the majority of the Mechanicus’ Forgeworlds to Chaos, the Emperor sought to integrate lost technology onto the Astartes power armor to give their forces the edge against the loyalist. Through research and the dissemination of old, STC templates from the Dark Age of technology new and terrifying forms of armor began to reach the hands of the children of Chaos!
Mark V “Chaos” Armor
From the beginning of the Horus Heresy to its dramatic end, the dark science pursued by Nero had a decisive effect. Production of this Power Armor variant started before the 'Massacre' at Prospero. This variant of Power Armor always comes with a small combat shield that can be used alongside a weapon.
Mark VI “Primordial” Armor
The Pinnacle of Astartes armor, the Mark VI was queued into production after the Fall of Terra, but before the first Dark Crusade against the Star Wars galaxy. This suit proved tougher, cheaper, and truly the most innovative design created by Nero's Dark Mechanicum. Doubling the survival rate of the Chaos Astartes, the ‘Primordial’ Armor ensured the dominance of the Chaos Space Marines much to the jealousy and chagrin of their loyal counterparts whom have to deal with inferior armor in battle. Jetpacks and powered-chainsword hybrid weapons are standard assets of this variant.
Centurion Armor
A nightmarish design by Chosen Emperor Nero himself, derive from one of the various STC templates he has somehow acquire, the size of this machine of war towers even an Astartes wearing the venerable Terminator armor. Imperial forces first battled these nightmarish troops during the Fall of Terra.
By the end of the Scouring, in which the surviving Eldar and Imperial remnants were banished from the Wh30k universe, the forces of Chaos have increased over a hundred fold! If the forces of Chaos are not stopped soon, the multiverse will be engulf in a sea of death and misery, and the Chaos Gods would have absolute control over the entirety of it!
