Changes

While it has been stated that the entire Deathwing company fights exclusively in [[Terminator armour]],{{Fn|20a}}{{Fn|20b}} Dark Angels wearing the bone colour of the 1st Company have also been seen in non-Terminator armour.{{Fn|10}}{{Fn|17}}{{Fn|18}}{{Fn|21}} During the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]], they were known to wear modified versions of [[Space Marine Power Armour|MKIV]] war-plate.{{Fn|11a}}

During the Horus Heresy, and prior to the events on [[Thranx]], the Deathwing coloured their armour in the black of the legion. Having some of their armour plating painted bone white signified a warrior of the Deathwing that has taken a mortal wound meant for another and survived.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|11a}}{{Fn|15}} Votive ceramite plugs were placed to mark the breach’s taken to a [[Brother|Knight’s]] armour as a badge of honour with few equals among the pragmatic Dark Angels. The members of the Deathwing bore a number of elements of the unique heraldry used by the Dark Angels, and were often considered indecipherable by their brethren in the other [[Space Marine Legion|Legions]]. Symbols of crossed keys were worn on the left greave and the Deathwing’s initiation icons worn on right pauldron, both of which marked the Dark Angel as a warrior who is master in the arts of the Deathwing, as a champion and linebreaker, on the field of battle should he be needed.{{Fn|11a}}
