I wanted a brighter Ultramarine than the usual Macragge Blue, something with a lot of colour. These turned out really nicely, pictures to come!

- Edge highlight using Lothern Blue
- Smaller edge highlight using Blue Horror
Shoulder Pads
- Follow the armour steps for the inner panels of the shoulder pads
- For the trim, paint this using the colours of your desired company. I'm going for the 4th company, so I will use Warpstone Glow
