Although the Chapter relies heavily on the Codex Astartes for strategic and tactical deployments, it can unexpectedly innovate when circumstances dictate. A particularly notable example is the [[Siege of Helios]], where the Chapter's [[Techmarines]] developed the [[Land Raider Helios]] due to their distrust of the [[Imperial Guard]] assets fighting alongside them. The Land Raider Helios has now been adopted by many Chapters and was recently approved by the [[Mechanicus]]. Despite being fully capable of undertaking covert operations, the Red Scorpions abhor them, and prefer to face their enemies proudly bearing their colors. This, combined with a reduced [[Scout Company]] due to strict recruitment standards, ensures that the Chapter's [[Neophytes]] are often deployed in the main battle line as an auxiliary force.{{Fn|6b}}

The Red Scorpions generally display Company number as a black roman numeral upon a marine's left kneepad, which always has a yellow background. Squad number can be indicated with white arabic numerals either on a marine's right kneepad or right pauldron (in the bottom-right corner), however many marines opt not to display squad number at all.
