Simplifying Sternguard - A Little Personal Hobby Time

I'm pretty much hooked on yellow power armour, now. It's easy to overthink almost any miniature above and beyond your basic infantry. Whether it's heroes like Captains or Lieutenants, or even elite troops in an army such as Terminators and other veterans of a Space Marine Chapter's 1st Company, I've seen people regularly clam up and avoid painting them as 'too complex.' Not at all! There's just a few extra bits of detail to bear in mind... and as in this example, literally one extra paint. For Terminators you'd probably want a couple of grey choices to paint the stone Crux Terminatus on the shoulder, but the truth of it remains that you can easily and without needing to break the bank on eight hundred paints still have a smart-looking Marine army, complete with elite choices!
