The best way to go about painting guard is to look at the fluff of your army. What are they based on? What type of planet do they come from? where do they fight?
I tend to use a lot of historical reference to paint my guys as I base a lot of their fluff on history however there are other ways. One of my armies is from a frozen wasteland so Ive gone for blue cloth and lightening blue armour highlighted white.
The easiest way to do an army is to choose a simple scheme for the bg standard soldier (say 1 colour for the armour and one for the cloth) then add in a little extra for the elites with the same colours, I used the same armour and then changed the camo scheme to a splinter scheme.
You say heavy infantry for your theme, well perhaps look to artillery regiment style unifimrs (with those bassies)
Oh and on a side note have you got an army list up in the guard area as your numbers dont seem to quite add up 60 men in three squads is 20 men in a squad, when squads are ten men, and you avnt mentioned platoon commands. An idea of the list may help you decide the scheme aswell.
hope that helps
