helmet crests?

[agumathebear]

hey, i've been looking for the names of these things everywhere, you guys know what they are called?

what im talking about is the stuff that knights wore on top of their helmets as like a family symbol or something.

knights of bretonnia are a good example, they all pretty much have those things on their heads. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/landingArmy.jsp?catId=cat40031&rootCatGameStyle=
