Space Marine Honour Badges

From Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Honour badges are used by Space Marines to recognize battle prowess and to designate specialists, such as Apothecaries and Techmarines. Each honour badge has its own customs of display, but are typically worn, painted or embossed on the recipient's power armour. Some honours, such as the Iron Halo and Imperial Laurel, are commonly displayed on Space Marine Standards, particularly Chapter Banners.
