A two year engagement through a sector of space claimed by the remnants of the broken Eldar race, the Scalland Campaign was to serve as the original field test for the first thousand sets of prototype armour that would later come to be designated as MkVI; though at the time it bore the provisional designation MkV. Small numbers of the MkV armour had already been submitted to the Iron Warriors and Salamanders Legions, and both had expressed reservations about the lack of heavy plating when compared to earlier marks, pushing for the MkV to be revised for a heavy assault role. It was deemed that a mass combat trial was required to determine the effectiveness of the original design before potentially abandoning it .Internal politics within the various Legion commands saw this honour bestowed upon the Raven Guard, depleted in number after the bloody fighting in the Akum-Sothos Cluster. Speculation at the time suggests that a faction amongst the Primarchs and Legion commanders, led by Perturabo, intended this assignment to an under-strength Legion to be the death-knell of the MkVI armour, leading to its replacement by a sturdier design.

Scalland战役交战时长两年，战场星区是一片被分崩离析的古老艾尔达种族残民声称为其所有的空间，这次战役对于最初的一千套在之后设计为MK6型的动力甲原型机进行了初始战场测试，不过在当时它的临时称呼MkV型动力甲。少量的MkV型动力甲已经被交付给了钢铁勇士和火蜥蜴军团，两者都对这种相较于早期型号动力甲而言缺乏厚重板甲的新型号持保留意见，他们推动了对Mk5动力甲的修改工作以使其承担重要进攻任务。（不过）帝国认为在可能性地放弃这种初始（新）型号动力甲之前，要用大规模的战斗试验来决定其（战斗）效率。各个帝国指挥部的内部勾心斗角见证了这份荣誉被授予了暗鸦守卫军团——他们在Akum-Sothos群星的血腥战斗之后人数锐减。当时的推测表明：在原体和军团指挥官中间有着一个由佩图拉博领导的派系，他们打算将这一任务指派给某个力量薄弱的军团，以此为Mk5型动力甲敲响丧钟，为的是用某种更为坚固的设计将其取代。（机仆：老皮玩政治，真是夭寿了活久见…）

If this was so then the plan was to backfire spectacularly, for the Raven Guard performed admirably in the verdant Eldar seed worlds of the Scalland Sector, utilising the advanced auto-senses and agility of the new armour to hound the Eldar in a series of strike-and-fade attacks that decimated their already battered military forces. Such was the success of the fighting in the sector, which eventually saw the expulsion of the Eldar and the Imperium claim its rich worlds, that not only was the MkVI armour approved for final development, but the majority of the improvements suggested by the Raven Guard were adopted. The new armour, later dubbed 'Corvus' armour in honour of the Raven Guard, was placed into full scale production only a few months before the outbreak of Horus' rebellion against the Emperor, re-designated as MkVI to account for the inclusion of the many stop-gap field modifications and repairs into the Legiones order of battle. 

倘若确有其事的话，那么这个计划将会令人惊讶地事与愿违（机仆：合着大远征时期老皮就没顺心过…），因为暗鸦守卫军团在Scalland星区中的多个翠绿的艾尔达雏种世界上表现得令人钦佩，利用新型动力甲先进的自动感官和灵活性，他们在一系列的进攻—快速撤退攻势中追猎着艾尔达人，摧毁了灵族遭受重创的军队。（机仆：当黑夜中传来高哥特语…）。星区中的这些胜利最终见证了帝国驱逐了艾尔达人并宣称拥有了星区中富饶的世界们。最终，不仅MkVI装甲被批准进行最终开发，而且暗鸦守卫们提出的大部分改进措施也被采纳。这种新型动力甲后来被命名为“渡鸦型”以表彰暗鸦守卫军团，渡鸦型型动力甲在荷鲁斯叛乱爆发前的几个月才投入全面生产，它被重新更名为MK6型因为军团的战斗序列中包含了很多对其的临时战场调整和维修。
