Dark Crusaders Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by a Firstborn Space Marine
The Dark Crusaders is a Loyalist Space Marine Chapter of unknown origins and Founding.
Chapter Appearance[]
Chapter Colours[]
The Dark Crusaders primarily wear dark olive-drab green power armour. The Aquila or Imperialis on the chest as well as the shoulder pauldron inserts are bone.
The black squad specialty symbol -- battleline, close support, fire support, Veteran, and command -- is indicated on the right shoulder pauldron. A white High Gothic numeral centred on the squad specialty symbol, indicates squad number.
The colour of the trim on the shoulder plates indicates company number in accordance with the Codex Astartes -- i.e. white (1st Company), yellow (2nd Company), red (3rd Company), etc.
Chapter Badge[]
This Dark Crusaders' Chapter badge is an ebon cross crosslet on a field of bone.
Canon Conflict[]
In older editions, such as Codex: Space Marines (3rd Edition), the Dark Crusaders were depicted as wearing all black power armour with a golden Aquila or Imperialis, with a white skull on the Imperialis. The Chapter icon was a white crosslet, instead of a black one.
