For those of you looking for decorations on smooth, open surfaces (like
titan legs or carapaces), try this: find a friend who knows Japanese and
ask him/her if he has a kanji book, or try your local library's foreign
language section. Kanji are the characters that the Japanese language
borrowed from Chinese, so if you don't have any Japanese-speaking
friends, a Chinese-speaking friend will also do the job.

Suggested characters that are kinda cool and not hideously difficult to
paint include: numbers, "strength," "wind," "mountain," "king/ruler,"
"metal/gold," "storm/tempest," "sword," "fire," "sun," "moon," "star,"
and "earth."

And Greek letters work fine too, especially if you're in a
fraternity/sorority. (They're also noticeably easier to paint.)

Of course, I wouldn't recommend it for space marine shoulder pads. 40K,
yes; E40K, no. :)

Just my two cents -BC
