Speaking of Space Marine's Medal of Honor, the most famous one is the Terminator Cross, which is also one of the most famous medals in the Space Marines Chapter. It was clearly stipulated during the Second Army that only the Terminator veterans of the First Company of the War Chapter were qualified to wear. Legend has it that this medal is embedded with a very small piece of the power armor worn by the Emperor and Horus during the decisive battle. However, ten thousand years later, this legend is difficult to prove. Anyway, Soshiyan has never seen the ancient Terminator Cross issued after the end of the Condemnation Rebellion.
And to be honest, no matter how big the emperor's armor is, how many pieces can he divide into?
It feels a bit weird even if you think about it.
Of course, Soshiyan could not award medals of this level, but compared with the Astral Army, Navy, or other mortal armed forces, Space Marines must be more attentive. In addition to some traditional imperial medals, they also designed the medals of this expedition separately. Of course, because Soshiyan is busy with other matters, the design was actually carried out entirely by Weiletz.
First of all, all the Space Marines participating in the Great Vortex will receive a Great Vortex Guardian Medal. The medal is silver-white all over, the size of an adult's fist. The center is a palm relief pierced by a sharp sword. It represents the achievements of the Expeditionary Force in defeating the Red Pirates. It is surrounded by 112 miniature diamonds, symbolizing the 112 large and large battles in this expedition involving Space Marines, and the edges of the medal are decorated with gold.
Because all the Space Marines participating in the war can get a medal without any level, and in a sense it is closer to the commemorative medal.
Then there is the specific medal of merit.
First, the Sentinel Medal was awarded to outstanding new recruits. This is also one of the traditional Space Marine Medals of the Empire. It is usually used to commend outstanding recruits of the Tenth Company of the Holy Classic Regiment. It looks like two crossed daggers and a silver skull in the center. However, most of the battle groups transferred to this expedition were combat companies, so the soldiers who received the honor were from the Knights of the Astral Realm, White Temple, Ascetics, Hugher, Ranger Warriors, Starry Sky Phantom and other battle groups dispatched by the entire regiment, totaling twenty people.
Among the Astral Knights are Jacob, Herbert, and Drazi, among which Drazi is from the Eleventh Company.
"You are all the best seeds. We look forward to everyone growing into the pillars of their respective battle groups in the future. Your battle leader and the throne have high expectations for you."
After saying that, Soshiyang personally put the medal on their shoulder armor, and those without the power armor were placed on their chests.
The new recruit medal is the soldier medal.
One is the Skull Proverbs Medal, which is awarded to those combat brothers or non-commissioned officers who have outstanding performance. As a traditional medal, the selection of the medal is very traditional. The company commander selects three candidates, and after which any person is recognized by two-thirds of the warriors in the company, he can receive the medal. However, not every company has a warrior. If no candidate in the company can receive the support of two-thirds of the combat brothers, then there will be no winners in the company. The overall appearance of the medal is gray-iron, combined with the skull decoration and short motto.
There are 52 winners in this medal, including 6 Knights of the Star Realm, namely Murad of the First Company, Robin of the Second Company, Oscar of the Third Company (because the fifth Company has not been truly established yet), Wahag of the Sixth Company, Bahram of the Tenth Company, and Sabrin of the Eleventh Company.
Surprisingly, the Minotao team also elected five people, and many people thought they would not accept the award from the Expeditionary Force.
The Skull Proverbs Medal is followed by the Skull Priester's Medal. This medal is awarded to those combat brothers who perfectly perform long-range sniper missions. The medal looks like a bomb, but it is golden all over, carved with complex patterns and lifelike skull reliefs. The correct heart can be seen on the skull forehead. There are 34 recipients of the medal. There are only one soldier named Hesx Vernon in the Knights of the Astral Realm. During the years of expedition, he used heavy sniper guns improved by the Armory to kill 32 Chaos Space Marines and more than 400 enemies of all kinds.
The Medal of the Sharpshooter is followed by the Death Wings Medal. This medal is awarded to those combat brothers who fly flying vehicles to give the enemy a major blow. It has a skull with lightning marks and wings spreading on the left and right sides. There are also a dagger on the jaw of the skull. The total number of people who have obtained this medal is 34, the largest of which is the Dark Angels Group, with a total of 6 trumpets with more than 30 aces. You should know that the shooting down counted by Space Marines is not based on the standard of "aircraft". At least it must be a real combat vehicle such as Hell Dragon, Hell Blade, and Thunder Eagle. It has to be said that the foundation of the startup regiment cannot be underestimated. The second is the Crying Warriors, and only the Sergeant Kano from the Rahem Squadron won the medal.
The Death Wings Medal is followed by the Iron Armored Soldier Medal, which is awarded to those pilots who have created outstanding achievements in the ground armored vehicle. The medal resembles two crossed tracks in the center. A conical shell is surrounded by a motto. A total of 41 units received the medal. Among them, the Knights of the Star Realm have 3 units, a total of twelve people, all from a brutal Blade Squadron. In addition, Josip Suarez from the Hand of Steel also received the medal.
The Medal of Iron Armor is followed by the Storm Knight Medal, which is awarded to those motorcyclists, Land Raiders, or Land Raiders, Thunder Eagle Gunboats and other transport vehicles that have performed well in battle. The total number of people reached 136. Surprisingly, the battle group that received the most medals was actually the Dark Angel, not the White Scar. However, Kosaro Khan had no objection to this. The number of people participating in the battle in the dark angels is indeed more than the White Scars. However, if the number of awarded people in several sub-groups is added, it is actually more than the Dark Angels.
The Storm Knight Medal is the Hunter Medal, which is awarded to those combat brothers who destroyed the enemy's super-heavy armor or demon engine with individual weapons. The relief of the medal is an evil dragon head pierced from bottom to top by a spear. A total of 63 soldiers received the medal. In fact, it should have been more. It is not easy to determine who actually destroyed the target on the battlefield, especially those super-heavy armor often suffered heavy damage before destruction. In the end, they could only carefully choose candidates who were convinced. They basically achieved the results of single-player hunting targets.
