Abstract
When the standard representation of a crystallographic Coxeter group Γ is reduced modulo an odd prime p, a finite representation in some orthogonal space over Zp is obtained. If Γ has a string diagram, the latter group will often be the automorphism group of a finite regular polytope. In Part I we described the basics of this construction and enumerated the polytopes associated with the groups of rank 3 and the groups of spherical or Euclidean type. In this paper, we investigate such families of polytopes for more general choices of Γ, including all groups of rank 4. In particular, we study in depth the interplay between their geometric properties and the algebraic structure of the corresponding finite orthogonal group.
