The warriors of the Adeptus Astartes can take an astounding amount of punishment and continue to fight the vile enemies of the Imperium. Their superhuman abilities are well known. They are capable of spitting a horrific venom, capturing the thoughts of the dead by eating the flesh of the fallen, and escaping the effects of sleep deprivation by switching off half of their brains.

However, it's their near-indestructible armour that truly sets the Imperium's best fighters apart from the multitudes that take up arms for the Emperor. Due to the numerous implants the Space Marines possess, they are able to treat this powerful and heavy armour as if it were an extension of their skins. This armour turns a Space Marine into a walking tank (in fact, the tanks of the Imperium are made of the same material as a suit of power armour), capable of deflecting most blades and projectiles while enhancing the wearer's supernatural strength.

Still, there are things in the galaxy that even mighty power armour cannot stand against. Read on to discover a handful of ways to model battle-damaged Space Marine armour.
