A while back I picked up some beakies and decided to paint them up as sternguard for my space marine army. Keep in mind these are still wip, criticism appreciated!

Nice to see some old beakies still serving the Emperor.

A note on helmet stripes:

A single color stripe is used for troopers
A single stripe, with two alternating colors denotes veterans. Kinda a hazard stripe look.
Sergeants have two, thinner stripes flanking their helmet stripe, done in a complementary color.



From left to right:

The stripe should extend down the nose, but I never liked that look.

Thanks!
