[[Image:DoWDCironhalo.JPG|thumb|right|[[Davian Thule]] equipped with an Iron Halo in [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade]].]]
The '''Iron Halo''' is part of the [[Space Marine Armoury]]. It is an ancient artifact, a special award given to a [[Space Marine]] who has shown exceptional initiative or bravery on the battlefield. It incorporates a powerful conversion field, similar to the [[Rosarius]] or [[Refractor Field]] that reinforces the resiliency of [[Power Armour]], allowing them to whether weather even the most fierce attacks. <sup>2</sup>
The Iron Halo appears as a spiked circle or half-circle of grey iron worn either on the helmet or the left shoulder pad. Sometimes it's more elaborate and takes the form of an actual halo arching over the Battle-Brother’s helmet, connected either to his neck brace or backpack. In rare cases, the Iron Halo will also be inlaid with litanies of the Battle-Brothers deeds or the names of heroes of his Chapter.<sup>3</sup>
