knights Redemptio colorscheme fer the normal marine:

assault var #1

For your information: It seems like your pictures are broken. Or at least the links are. Try to fix that

i give up nothing will work with these stupid images!!!

Are they the ones in your gallery at http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-11491-7030_My%20Chapter%27s%20Colorscheme.html ?

I'm no SM expert, but it seems like an aweful lot of bright silver. A shoulder design, or maybe painting the boots gold too, or doing the inner joints another color... something to tone it down just a little, unless you're intending them to be so blinding. The red on the other models does that for me, this just feels like it needs something.

YES! it is! Thanks, would you mind getting the others? I have no idea how to do it .The carapace is white and the soft armour is supposed to be light grey, the sm painter shading messes up the color, sorry.

Here you go chap, we've all gotta learn sometime

As for the colours I like them. I have a similar scheme on my Templars red instead of yellow though. I would say ditch the idea of the grey soft armour. I think it will merge with the white of the armour to easily, I would either just leave the wash or paint a metallic. As for the robes i'm still not convinced red is the best choice but hey if your happy then i'm happy

I like the scheme. Is that silver and gold or White and gold? Either would work.

I think a Gold Templar cross would look good on this scheme as a Chapter icon, and also lots of robes and so forth (mix in Templar and DA bits as needed to play up a monastic/crusader feel).

White and light gold, and I am gonna have most of my characters and vets wear red robes, also the gold templar cross is what I plan to do.

Its not bad but it could get a little boring. except for the red robes you dont have any great color contrast on your marines. Im painting flesh tearers right now and they got the same problem with there dark red and black colors. I got around it by painting some mettalic details and even more colorfull detail on the terminators and character models.
Give your choulder pads a red outlining or red helmets something like that. paint the spaces between the armor a little darker. Also keep in mind that those bright colors are not easy to paint. they look 'dirty' really quick.

I know from painting White Panthers, that painting white marines is a pain in the backside - just to warn you

Looks ok

Heres some more displaying the robes, and assault varients(choose the one you like best)

You're doing it wrong.

Image tags are formed as follows: [img]http://someurl.com/picture/someimage.jpg[/img]

For example, the way to post your captain is: [img]http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/3/15/90312_md-the%20capt.jpg[/img]

Like so,
