The '''Crux Terminatus''', or '''Terminator Honors''', is a stone medallion set into the left shoulder plate of every [[Terminator armour]],.{{Fn|2a}}

It is said to incorporate fragments of the [[One True Armour|Emperor's Armour]]. During his struggle against [[Horus]] aboard the ''[[Vengeful Spirit]]'' at the climax of the [[Horus Heresy]], the [[Emperor ]] was aided by a squad of [[Terminators ]] from the [[Imperial Fists]]. In recognition of their act of valour, the mortally wounded Emperor ordered that his own suit of armour be taken off and melted down, and its shards incorporated into badges that all [[Space Marine Captain|Terminator Captains Captain]]s should wear. Therefore all efforts are made to recover the suits of Captains killed in action as the loss of such a relic brings great dishonour to the squad and the [[Chapter]].{{Fn|2a}}

This Honour appears most commonly as a skull set onto a cruciform shape of red iron or bone. [[Terminator sergeants sergeant]]s often add crossed bones behind the skull, whilst lightning bolts behind the skull are often added for Terminators trained as [[Terminator#Terminator_Assault_Squad|Assault units ]] wielding [[lightning claws ]] and [[thunder hammers hammer]]s with [[storm shields]]. Variations include the size and dimensions of the skull and the removal of the crossed lightning bolts or bones or their scale in relation to the shape of the cruciform. The Crux Terminatus is almost always worn on the left shoulder pad, though it may also be worn on one knee pad (this is usually done only in combination with the shoulder pad, however).{{Fn|1}}

The {{PAGENAME}} can be adorned with The Crux Argentum, a silver badge encrusted with gems, rewarding acts of extreme valour on the field. {{Fn|2b}}
