Editing Power Armour (section)

===Mark IX Armour===
Suffered the same fate as Windows 9. Who knows, really. This mark was skipped over when Mk10 was introduced, and no details were made available. It could either be a Mark V treatment, with any Mark VII or VIII suits made with improvised parts or even contemporary Artificer Armour [[Proxy|counted as the Mark IX]]. Another possibility is that the Mark IX might be part of [[Roboute Guilliman|Guilliman]]'s new job of [[Gets stuff done|actually getting stuff done]] by rolling out a new mark for the Classic Marines. Nothing's really known at this point, and there's still no word over five years after Primaris were first announced. Why GW doesn't make a new set of models and state that this Mark is used to bring the Firstborn Marines' physical capabilities to Primaris level is a mystery for the ages. Then again, it could just be that Mark X sounds way cooler than Mark IX (iPhone X and Windows 10, anyone?), although [[Games Workshop|Geedubs]] did allude to its existence when Primaris armour was revealed to be numbered as 10.

If it helps, it has been suggested in forums and such that Mark 9 power armour was the 'variant' used by pre-Primaris Librarians. Still, it is annoying that nothing official is there to be found. This could, of course, be nothing more than wishful thinking or plain old nonsense, as Librarians have been shown in various armour patterns and some sources have shown their psychic hoods as a detachable add-ons rather than built-in.

Or maybe somebody forgot it only went up to Mark VIII when they were designing the Primaris Marines.
