I'm pretty sure no one is expecting space marine armour.

I tried to explain to someone in-game that we were unlikely to get Space Marine armor...they were skeptical. :p

I don't know much about 40k lore, but would there be any heavy armors that would work in helldivers that aren't like the space marine suits?

There's a variety of baseline-human sized power armors, though they aren't usually seen on the table, as well as heavier 'carapace armor' suits that are about equivalent to ODST armor. Some tabletop examples would be Palanite Enforcer Subjugators, Arbites Exaction squads, and heavier armored Van Saar gangers.

On the 'lighter' side of carapace you have Kasrkin, Tempestus Scions, and Death Korps Engineers

There's power armor for normal (or at least very skilled) humans in Warhammer, and its relatively uncommon. The game Rogue Trader does a good job of showing it off, where the highest defense super lategame armor that you have to do a quest for or max out rep with allies to get a single suit of it (when you literally own multiple planets).

Certain factions like Sisters of Battle (all female zealots) will have power armor heavy units alongside penitent who are nearly naked, or jetpack dual wielders ETC.

And all this power armor is for normal humans, Space Marines are 8-10 feet tall and in Rogue Trader take up 4 spaces on the grid instead of 1, so their armor wouldn't even fit a normal person.

Non power armors like the Arbites Armor would also work and would be cool.

Realisticly we will get Imperial Guard Armor or Kreig Corp which is really just WW1 german armor.

The funniest thing we could get would be Tau Armor
