All of the Companies, with the exception of the Scout Company, maintain a pool of transport vehicles. The most common of these are the Rhino and its up-gunned variant the Razorback. A Rhino can transport a full squad of ten Marines and all of their equipment. Razorbacks sacrifice some transport capability in exchange for a heavy weapon armed turret.

The vehicles carry the same heraldry and organisational markings as the squads that ride in them. Chapter icons, Company badges, tactical and squad identification are all displayed on the hull of the armoured vehicle. In addition the Rhino or Razorback may display honour badges and Chapter mottos. Rhinos and Razorbacks are also assigned to the Chapter's officers and specialists in which case they display pertinent rank and honours.

Rhinos and Razorbacks may also display recognition flags showing Chapter, Company and squad information. These flags may also display the usual honours and name scrolls common to the Chapter.

The Codex Astartes has many pages devoted to regulations for the markings and heraldry of a Chapter's war machines and armoured vehicles. Chapter Masters are provided with strict rules to apply. However the Codex also warns against complacency and the danger that enemy intelligence can pose. Because of this the Codex offers many variants and alternative markings - including a number of camoflague patterns suitable for operations in jungles, deserts, snow and other alien environments.

This shows the typical badges used on Space Marine transport vehicles. The exact placement and application of these varies according to the Codex Astartes. Chapter Masters are encouraged to periodically review their markings so as to prevent any enemy becoming too familiar with the system employed.
