Space Marine helmets are often adorned with a crest, a form of Space Marine Honour Badge that can signal the rank or prestige of the bearer.

Officer Crest

An Officer crest[1] was used by officers of the Legiones Astartes during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. Centurions used a horizontal crest[2], while Captains wore vertical crests.[3]

Valour Crest

The Valour Crest is a Space Marine Honour Badge awarded by the Ultramarines chapter and possibly other chapters as well. It must be earned through acts of near suicidal bravery.[4b]

Notable recipients include Captain Cato Sicarius, who won the right to wear his crest for his actions during the Siege of Fort Telrendar, when he was first through the breach.[4a][4b]
