Homer-a-Day, Day 9: Patroklos

Patroklos Pattern Power Armour
Patrokolos pattern power armours are designed to mimic the look – if not the full array of functions and capabilities – of Astartes armour, while being equipped with internal adapters and controls, allowing humans of average build to use armour sized for Space Marines.

In surpressed texts, the origin of the pattern is darkly hinted as being linked to the XX. legion, but despite such blasphemous rumours, there are more than enough imperial – and other – organisations who see great possibilities for the use of these armours unique properties. However, each such use has to be carefully weighted against the chance of invoking the just and terrible anger of the real Adeptus Astartes and the resistance of diverse puritan factions.

A Patroklos pattern power armour follows the rules for standard power armour found in Dark Heresy. It also acts as a disguise, allowing the wearer to masquerade as a Space Marine.

Homer-a-Day – one Homer inspired Warhammer 40,000 article per day, for one month. Pure hubris, incited when a stroll through our own archives led first to reexamining the Odysseus Pattern Astartes Greatbow and then to the exchange quoted above.

Don’t uncork what you can’t contain.
