Algrim is correct, that is the current only known canon image of an Imperial Fists Space Marine from the Great Crusade and Heresy era. In earlier editions of the game, Game Workshop j\had not yet determined which of the Marks of Power Armour had been introduced when. Also, that is not necessarily a Mark VIII suit of Power Armour. it looks to be a hybrid of a Mark III with certain custom-made composnents. In any event, there is much that we do not know about that era, and the level of customisation within the Legions was immense as th new Horus Heresy Imperial Armour book makes clear. I would be very careful about throwing around notions like "outrageously incorrect" when it comes to Games Workshop material, which changes and is ret-conned all the time.
