Description
This is the fourth page of a project long-time-in-the-planning, the "chapter 2" sequel to the Rimworld Power Armour Studies I did in the summer of 2020 . Many things came in the way of this project, and after several delays I allowed myself to mostly forget about it until when master Greywind started the Hesters series of commissions. Now, after a long time spent adding details to the semi-fictional colony that would serve as its backdrop, the second chapter of the Power Armour Studies is here, featuring Tiandriel, Imperial Hypatissa and Lady Consul of House Dracondar, and her colony of Eurusium.

The fourth page showcases a suit of imperial-style prestige marine armour (and by extension imperial "knightly" prestige armours in general), both its graphical interpretation and the Metoverse fan lore expansion. The model is master Accurina's character Sonia, who like Tiandriel is an imperial noble (rank of countess/comitissa) and knight. Much of the textures on the armour itself are decorative bas-relief and thus non-functional.

Comic Transcript:
The Imperial Knights stand tall in their eternal vigilance as civilisation's mightiest defenders. Hand-picked from amongst imperial aristocracy and freeholder psycasters, and equipped with the finest panoply at the Empire's disposal, the Knights represent the pinnacle of Human military prowess.
Knightly armour suits are mostly identical to standard EMACS they are based upon, but in the field they are unmistakable due to their elaborate decorations that often detail the wearer's status and history.
Although often associated with the knights, persona weapons are not a very common sight among them, due to scarcity. Instead, higher quality versions of standard imperial weapons, often decorated, are used. Most train with their weapons their entire lives.
PRESTIGE MARINE ARMOUR worn by u/Accurina's Sonia.

Tia: It is a great privilege to host such an honoured colleague. My house is at your service, comitissa. Make yourself at home.
