Gauntlets
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Gauntlets are a name for several different styles of arm bands and gloves, particularly those with an extended cuff covering part of the forearm. They are both an esthetic and a functional part of the uniform or armor, often incorporating equipment or weapons (such as Las Gauntlets[1]). Typically worn by champions or officers they are a master crafted piece of equipment signifying great feats of heroism or reverence within the formation.[2]
For the Blood Ravens Chapter, the champions of the First Company are awarded with master crafted gauntlets adorned with Blood Raven insignia.[3]
The most famous of these relics are the Gauntlets of Ultramar which are in the possession of the Ultramarines Chapter.[4]
