The Void Lions are actually Codex non-compliant. Their heraldry is featured on both pauldrons and they don't utilize any other tactical insignia or color coding to differentiate themselves on the battlefield. They are all proficient in use of various types of weaponry so they don't apply designated roles. On the tabletop, of course there are Devastators, etc, but all the marines look the same as far as mark and heraldry are concerned. A squad full of heavy weapons is recognized as a devastator squad. Marines with jump packs are automatically thought of as assualt marines, and according to their organization, these things are not fixed. In a tactical squad, the marines with the missile launcher and or plasma gun are automatically seen as Devastators, a sergeant with a chainsword and pistol is seen as an assault marine or aiming to achieve an assault role, etc. The only way to determine what battlefield role a marine has on the field is by looking at the weapon he wields. The only exception to this is the Black-maned ( Captains) and the Maned-King ( Chapter Master) who have more elaborate designs on their armor, along with Chaplains ("Provoker"), apothecaries ("Healers"), and Librarians (Still forming a name for them) etc. This is perhaps one of the most boring aspect of the chapter, their uniformity. Perhaps, the only mark of difference is the color of the Veteran Void Lions Pauldron. The majority of veterans upgrade themselves to Rubicon marines, enduring the surgery to make them Primaris Marines. Those that do, become part of the Maned-King's ( Chapter Masters) Blood-Pride. Not only are they distinguishable from other marines due to their size ( All Blood-Pride members being Primaris) but their pauldrons are painted red, with the white Lion Heraldry over it.
