Well the box only comes with 1 torso and that's the one with the rope across the chest and the cape down the back. But if you have bought a Tactical Squad box or something you should have a spare torso or two. Other than that, no.

Artificer Armor and Power Armor look no different in actuality. Artificer Armor should be modeled to look more fancy/elaborate but in reality all the plastic and metal models can represent either kind of armor. The classification of the Armor in the Commander Box is actually MK VII Power Armor. MK VIII can be made using the helmet and chest from the Tactical Squad Upgrade sprue. MK IV can be found on the Black Templars upgrade sprue, on the Ultramarines Ancient, several of the Ultramarines Tyranid Hunters and Cassius. MK VI can be mostly made from the kneeless legs and beekie helmet from the plastic sprues, though the only authentic chest is found on the Space Wolves upgrade sprue.

The rest of the suits are a mixture of MK V, VI and VII elements, with the majority leaning towards MK VII. The only model that currently has MK III is one of the models in the Masters of the Chapter box if I recall correctly.

Awesoem thanks for that. Might be useful for my Heresy Era Eisenstein Army.

No problem, but check this out it's a nice article Wargamer did with pictures and descriptions for each mark of armor and Terminator Armor.
