Unit differences

Most chapters have different helmets and markings to tell apart their HQ, Tactical Squads, Veterans, Etc...
Example, the Blood Angel Assault squads have yellow helmets, their devastators have blue helmets, tactical red...

The Sanguinary Crusaders are no exception. However, unlike their parent chapter, their markings are different. They also do not have markings on their shoulders, chapter markings or unit markings.
These are the different markings of each unit type.

Veterans: Black Helmets, Black Hands, and Gold Ridge/Crest of the helmet.

Tech-Marines: Yellow Helmets.

Assault Marines: Red helmets with various helmet ridge/crest.

Tactical Marines: Red helmets with various ridge/crests

Devastator Marines: Like the Blood Angels, they have strait blue helmets.

Honor Guard: Most Honor Guard are veterans, and as such have similar looks. Most are more ornate. Their left shoulder plate is painted gold.

Scout: They, unlike most chapters, do not wear the colors of the chapters. They instead, go into combat using camouflage schemes based on the environment of the campaign. They are often mistaken as Imperial Guard Storm Troopers, and as such, the enemy and I.G. will often not know of the chapter's involvement until the chapter is ready for them to know.

Librarians: Red helmets with blue helmet ridge/crest.

Sanguinary Priests: White helmets with red ridge/crest

Sanguinary High Priest: White Armor, red trims, and red ridge/crest.

Chaplains: Black Armor.

Death Company: Black Armor

---------------

There are also no squad markings, or company markings. No marines wear the chapter symbol.
Every squad and company commander and company champion are required to know all of his men by name and history.
The chapter master and the chapter champion are required to know all of the Captains, Sergeants, and Veterans, as well as all command staff and extra staff (not including servitors).
