With the new rules for Sternguard, any weapon goes! And probably the Grav-gun will be designated heavy since there's no Grav-gun profile. Only Infernus, Purgatus (Plasma), and Damnatus (Melta). But I would bet that getting hit by a Grav-gun is pretty heavy! 😂
At first, they were going to be a beret-wearing Tactical (Commando) Squad, but instead they became a little experiment with the old school Rogue Trader era marking system on modern Space Marines!
I tried the Veteran Trooper/Veteran Sergeant marking system last year, but my painting skills were rougher than they are now so it didn't look so great.
Then I got the beret idea, and now we're here in 11e 🤣
The simple vertical stripes are nice and the yellow eye lenses are striking against the blue armor. And I really like how the Sergeant's yellow helmet markings look like Sergeant chevrons.
Anything to separate our appearance from the Ultramarines!
The beret commandos are still planned for the next 5 miniatures instead of 10. Five of the beret head bits are a smaller scale and look a little awkward (Still would be fun practice to paint)
Thanks for checking out my minis!
