How about this?

this is how my sons sm army looks like. he is in a state where he tends to have everything mostly black, youth today^^ and his favorite color is still red.



as for decals we gone impirial fists, on the shoulders... ups not the last instalment^^

Too true.
I think Red and white are so good together, rather than red+black

That sceme is ok, but I hate armies with different boot colors than the legs.

as i wrote this isnt the true scheme, now the boots are red as are the legs and the backpack is a mic of red and black parts...

Oh. Forgot about that.

I like this maybe use white on the top half of the legs just to add a little more contrast ?

but to tell you the truth, i tried as hell to get the black out of the scheme but he was iron on that^^. the white and red is far better, looks more aristocratic and thats what i picture a true sm codex army like...

They will be robed, so you will probably only see their arms anyway. (other than the ones with open robe bottoms)
The reason I am doing it on the normal painter, and not the one and adding the robe, is because i may paint up a few normal marines in this scheme if I have some extra. (my main army is BA)
Anyone have a good idea for a robe color?

Brown.

Hope you like it

looks like a christmas candy stick...^^

Well as for the robes it depends if you want to contrast or to blend in more with the armour colour. Obviously black and white contrast well with red but I would consider a dark green to oppose the red or possibly brown but that might just blend in too much with the red.

I like the one white arm, you could come up with some fluffy reason why they do that like how the deathwing paint their armour bone white because of a legend...but I would consider using a golden helmet like BA vets..

Hmm, that one scheme that was posted looks good minus a few things.

I did really like the one white arm, because it stands out and is cool.
Vets will have something special, maybe a gold helmet. I don't know.

like this one most.

^ Hmm, with robes on, that one will probably look the best, anyway.

I'm thinking light brown, or blue. I don't know, but I don't want to use black. maybe bleached bone, or snake bite leather.

yep most likely ^.^

I kinda like this one. It would be a huge pain to paint, but would probably look great with a whole squad of them together.

Perhaps a very muted green for the robes? Almost like a brown or yellowish green.

I think halved schemes look tacy, I like the red/white combo though.

I think the original half white/half red with white helmet was best.

Interestingly enough my sons SM army is painted in almost the exact same color scheme,with the exception of white shoulder pads.

Sorry guys, I have given up this scheme.
It has become the Sons of Ouroboros now

I like this as well,and it wouldn't be that difficult to paint up,simply prime the minis white and add the reds,washes and details.

Idk, the frist ones reminds of Emperors pointy sticks for some reason, then the ones with the black reminds me of the flesh tearers.... try Quartering red and whilte( with a solid helmet, and give the eagle a silver or gold color, backpack soild color too like black or dark grey?

However, I gave up on both schemes because I started my orks, so I may go back and paint a test model for these colors.

If you do post some pics

on a scale of 1-10

You probably know this but if you go on bolter and chainsword SM painter V5.0 (or something like that) you can add robes to the SM as wargear (just make sure your colour scheme is completely finished because you cannot go back from the wargear scheme)

If you do decide to do some test models i think the idea of quartered colors with a solid helmet would look pretty good.

It depends on the colous used but it should look good
