Why the fuck would anybody ever wear MK IV power armor? It's just ass. MK II and MK III at least offer superior strength and MK II comes with a hell of a lot more prestige, MK VI is objectively the best armor when master crafted, and MK VII is the standard, most durable of the lot barring artificer work.

Same reason anyone does anything in 40k.
Because it looks cool.
Also because if you're playing by the rules, you're going to randomly get MKIV armor, and your chances of getting MKII and III are minimal at best.
Buying these power armors in deathwatch isn't a thing, after all.
Because nothing else is available basically.

Why would you use close combat weapons when theres ranged ones available

Because for a time it was cheaper and had more advanced tactical systems.
It's not actually supposed to be straight up better than Crusade or Iron. It's supposed to be more economical without being actually just shitty.

I'm not exactly familiar with Deathwatch, but what happens if you masterwork MKVI?
