Chapter Appearance[]
Chapter Colours[]
The Crusaders Chapter wears a quartered pattern of red and white on their power armour.
The white squad tactical specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- is indicated on the right shoulder plate.
A white Low Gothic numeral on the inside edge of the shoulder plate, next to the squad specialty symbol, indicates squad number. The chapter badge is worn on the left shoulder plate, which is white.
The colour of the Aquila or Imperialis on the chest indicates company number in accordance with the Codex Astartes -- i.e. White (1st Company), Yellow (2nd Company), Red (3rd Company), etc.
Chapter Badge[]
The Crusaders' Chapter badge closely resembles the holy icon utilised by the Adeptus Ministorum -- a quartered red, stylised letter "I" with a large, white Human skull in the centre of it with a red halo surrounding it. This is placed over a field of white.
