[[Image:TaranisHeresy.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The House Taranis [[Cerastus Knight-Lancer]] ''[[Hastam Gloriae]]'' in the House's [[Horus Heresy|Heresy-era]] colorscolours.{{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 pilots 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}}
