==Taranisian Guard==
The Honour Guard of Engerand are the Taranisian. They are chosen not only for their skill but also because these marines have a strong, personal bond which formed with their primarch (or later, the regent of the Chapter). While veteran marines, who have a long history with the chapter are obviously prime candidates, in practice age has very little meaning and through the chapter's history there have been young marines chosen to become part of the ranks of this esteemed order. The admission of a new Taranisian is purely the decision of the command staff, none may petition to join their ranks and in fact doing so is seen in poor taste. Sometimes, a marine will be chosen to become part of the Taranisian not because of skill at arms but rather their tactical or political acumen. While technically members of the Taranisian, these marine see far less front line combat and focus on the maintenance of the inner workings of the chapter. In battle, the Taranisian are deployed either as a Terminator unit (although the use of Terminator Armor is not solely restricted to their ranks, they are by far the most famous of the Storm Hammer Terminators) or as a power-armor Veteran squad. Should their Primarch or the current regent fall in battle (or be crippled), the Taranisian would, as per his orders, elect one of their own to become the Lord of Thunders and act as his regent.

The colors of the Taranisian Guard are Silver and Gold, with their helmets and shoulder pads painted silver.
