==Heraldry==
The Knights of House Taranis are red with halved black-and-silver greaves and shoulder plates.{{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|5c}}
[[Image:TaranisHeresy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|House Taranis [[Cerastus Knight-Lancer]] ''Hastam Gloriae'' in the House's [[Horus Heresy|Heresy-era]] colors.{{Fn|13b}}]]
Prior to the Horus Heresy, House Taranis's Knights wore primarily dark blue armour, rather than the red or silver common to those Houses affiliated with [[Mars]]. {{Fn|13b}} This changed during the Heresy, however, as most of House Taranis's surviving Knights repainted their Knights red in recognition of the debt they owed to Loyalist [[Forge World]]s.{{Fn|13a}}{{Fn|13b}}
The House's crest, likewise, evolved with time - the symbol always featured the cog of Mars, but the sword that bisects the crest was added after the Horus Heresy. Some attribute this to the legendary [[Raf Maven]], who allegedly insisted on the addition in honour of his fallen housemates.{{Fn|12}}
