New Paper Craft: Warhammer 40K - Space Marines Mark VIII Errant Power Armour Free Papercraft Download

This paper model is a Space Marines Mark VIII Errant Power Armour, an update to the Aquila Mark VII pattern armour, the first suit of new Power Armour produced by the Imperium since the Horus Heresy, thus illustrating the extreme stagnation of Mankind"s science and technology over the past ten millennia since the fall of Horus and the Ascension of the Emperor, from the Warhammer 40K series, the papercraft is created by Daniil Chumachenko.

Mark VIII armour is distinguished by a raised collar or gorget at the front, and enhanced armoured plating for the Mark VII"s torso power cables which were vulnerable to weapons fire. The new pattern also addressed the vulnerability issues of the Mark VII"s neck joint, which had been know to act as a "shell-trap". The new gorget required a new helmet design, which caused problems for backward compatibility with the earlier helmet types, which cannot be easily fitted to a Mark VIII neck joint without extensive modification.

Mark VIII armour has gone into only limited production thus far, and is seen in limited numbers on the battlefields of the late 41st Millennium. Full versions of this armour are almost never seen; however, it is common to find parts of it being used by Space Marine officers. It has had limited deployment thus far, so tends to be reserved for Veteran Marines as a sign of their rank. Thus far, Mark VIII suits have mostly been issued to Sergeants and higher-ranking Astartes officers, and as such the appearance of the Mark VIII has taken on an air of authority amongst the Adeptus Astartes. The Mark VIII is not widespread in the galaxy yet and it will take quite a few Terran centuries before the Forge Worlds of the Imperium have brought every Chapter up to the new standard.
