I've seen the terminators in Space Hulk have individual herealdry/icons/markings on the shoulders and knee pads in particular.

Unfortunately I've not managed to find a guide that shows what these are

I'm looking for one so my models can be painted as per the box art, any ideas?

Most of them are just the personal heraldry of each Terminator, so there's no right/wrong way of doing it. You'll notice each one has the same markings in several places on their armour (normally the right knee, power fist and opposite shoulder pad)

I'd keep things like the gems and metallic colours consistent across all of them, but other than that, anything goes really.

Another common trick is to split the gem colours depending on which squad they are from

The character breakdowns for each marine in the background (missions I think) book has the heraldry, IIRC.

I sat thinking it would probabily be in the book as I was typing it. I'll have to check when home at the weekend.
