The Iron Crusaders predominately wear light grey power armour. The shoulder plates, helm and the Aquila or Imperialis on the chest plate, are maroon. The open-faced, white squad tactical specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran or command -- is located on the right shoulder plate.

A white Low Gothic numeral is stenciled in the centre of the squad specialty symbol, indicating squad number. The colour of the left knee guard indicates company number in accordance with the Codex Astartes -- i.e. white (1st Company), yellow (2nd Company), red (3rd Company), green (4th Company), etc.

The Iron Crusaders' Chapter badge is a white Iron Halo symbol, with an orange-red roundlet in the centre. An ebon, tilted cross pattée is superimposed on the roundlet. A large white skull is then superimposed on the cross symbol. The entire symbol is centred on a field of maroon.
