I've been back and forth over Stuff of Legends... hell, I have the blue, red, green, and black catalogues as well as the 1994 follow-up. I've been looking through them, and I can't find part numbers for several of the historic Space Marine armours!
GW now sells a Finecast set ("Armour Through the Ages") with one each of Mk I through Mk V. These are recasts of some of the earlier models: the Mk I Thunder Suit with bolter that was cast as a single piece (070270/9), plus the Mk III Iron Armour with bolt pistol and chainsword that was likewise; the Mk II, Mk IV, and Mk V armours are all patterned after the armless versions that took plastic arms and shoulder pauldrons.
I remember when the "new" sculpts came out. With the exception of the Mk I (which were all sclupted as a single piece), every variant had two single-piece castings and one body that took separate arms. The "separate arms" models appear at various places in the catalogues throughout the 90's, and the older versions of the single-piece castings are on page 7 of the Blue Catalogue from 1991, but I have yet to find the "new" models listed anywhere.

Anybody by chance know those remaining part numbers? They seem like they should be in my catalogues or on SoL somewhere, but I just can't seem to locate them. They must have had numbers, though, as the pair of Mk I's in my collection I ordered as bitz (they're only historic armours I have cast in white metal) from GW back when they allowed that sort of thing.

Hi,
so here's what i have
mk1 with halberd :70270/13
mk3 plasma pistol/chainsword: 70270/16
from the SM collector guide.
If i recall properly the old codes are available for those models in the 2004/2005 complete catalogue.
i still have the retail price listing for from 1989-1994, i'll check if they are in there.

Re: Part Numbers for Historic Space Marine Armour?
Thanks, Jul, you're right! Several of the missing models are pictured on page 308 of the 2004-05 US catalogue, including the Mk II Crusade Armour with the bolt pistol and chainsword. All I lack now are the codes for the Mk IV with the Phobos-pattern bolt gun and the Mk V with the bolter and combat knife.jul wrote:Hi,

Arg! Sooo close!
White Dwarf issue 166US (October 1993 - the issue with the battle report between Jervis Johnson's Orks and Andy Chambers's Blood Angels that left Brother-Captain Tycho scarred for life!) has catalogue pages in the back showing the missing Mk IV and Mk V, as well as a few of the really hard-to-find "transition" models of the Mk VI that came out between First Edition and Second Edition.
There are no part numbers, though, just some kind of four-digit product number that would have been on the blister of 2-3 models each.
