FOUNDING DATES
M29 — FIRST FOUNDING: The Emperor and Imperial scientists created the Space Marines of the initial 20 Legions, based on the gene-seed of the Primarchs and the Emperor.
021M31 — SECOND FOUNDING: The loyal Space Marine Legions were broken up into smaller Chapters of one thousand Marines under the guidance of Roboute Guilliman of the Ultramarines to prevent one man from wielding too much power in the Imperium.

POWER ARMOR TYPES
MARK I THUNDER — The techno-barbarians of early Terra used this armor before the Emperor unified the Earth. This is the only Mark that wasn't enclosed.
MARK II CRUSADE — Used by the Space Marine Legions during the Great Crusade to reunite humanity. Its overlapping hoop-shaped armor plates allowed for ease of movement, but were notoriously difficult to maintain.
MARK III IRON
MARK IV MAXIMUS
MARK V HERESY — Used by many Marines during the Horus Heresy. Its studded plates were easier to produce, but slightly less effective.
MARK VI CODEX — Used in the post-Heresy years. Most suits retained the studded shoulder guard of the Mark V type for the left pauldron. Two helmet variants existed: the beaked Corvus type and one based on experimental Terminator designs. This suit's chest armor covered the cabling that had proven a consistent weakness on many earlier types.
MARK VI CORVUS — This subtype of Codex Armor utilized the Corvus helmet.
MARK VII AQUILA — (Also: EAGLE) Most common armor type in M41. The vast majority use the Terminator-derived helmet, though the Corvus helmet still exists.
MARK VIII ERRANT — Advanced type represents the cutting edge of Imperial technology.

History records them as established in the Second Founding, the only new chapter not formed by division of the Space Marine Legions. Malcador the Sigilite selected eight Marines of unswerving loyalty from both loyalist and traitor legions as the core of the Grey Knights during the early years of Horus' rebellion and led them to their fortress monastery on Titan, where geneseed and hundreds of recruits waited. The Emperor had personally overseen creation of this untainted geneseed, and bound some of his own genes into it. Thus, all Grey Knights are psykers of varying power whose light is poison to the powers of Chaos. Malcador hid Titan in the Warp during the final years of the Horus Heresy, and it returned during the Second Founding. The record of their founding is recorded in the Iron Grimoire, which is also the only record of the great evil imprisoned beneath their monastery.
