Dawn of War II decorators

This Scout Squad's decorator indicates that they retain the basic weapons, but have been upgraded to detect infiltrated units and throw grenades

Decorators are icons in Dawn of War II, Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising and Dawn of War II: Retribution that quickly reveal a unit's general combat role at a glance. For example, an outlined "fist" icon would indicate that the unit is an advanced (strong) melee unit effective against infantry. Decorator icons have different colors according to the unit's owner (blue for your own units, yellow for allied units and red for enemy units).

A unit's basic decorator may change during play because of an upgrade, and it may include smaller icons for additional information (such as an "eye" for detector units or a "hand grenade" for squads equipped with grenades).
