They will have robes from the DA set, and I don't know of a good color for the robes to be.
on a scale of 1-10
and criticism please.

4/10 - The red-and-white scheme is very nice overall. It looks like a Swedish or Red Cross Marine. However, the purple helmet seems odd, and the half-white codpiece seems questionable. The asymmetry on the arms is great. I've always loved asymmetric Marines. Overall, the purple helmet is really distracting and doesn't seem to fit at all.

The purple helmet kills it for me. I'm not a fan of the crotch guard halving either.

yeah...
purple kills it for me too.

I couldn't think of a better helmet color, so I put purple as a place holder. Any suggestion for a better color?
The chapter they are from is going to be named the Knights of The Blooded Blade.
And I forgot about the crotch halving It should be all red.

Make a ruby head.

Hmm, maybe. I kinda wanted to have a contrasting helmet color. How about this?

Now hes a blood raven

cant understand what you want to achieve with this red arm and white arm thing... although it looks good in terms of looking like a redcoat... so all in all and with a white head it looks cool.
with the differently colored hands/arms i say 5/10 but with matching arms i´d give it a 8-9.

Feth.
Any other color suggestions? (not yellow, blue, red, or gold)

sliver kneepads?

Hmm, red arms, but white hands?

and they have robes AC, you can't see the legs anyway (the legs that have an open robe have greaves, so no kneepads)

that ´d look stylish... i´d go for that!!!

maybe eaven a red brim ( chicken thingy) on the helmet? might work.

what do you want to use as color for weapons?

I think this looks really cool.

For weapons, maybe a very dark blue, or black.

see above post^^

I did, I edited mine.

no blue, black would be my choice...

i suggest you go silver for the aquilla also...

congratulations, you've made the blood angels.

Nice scheme, but if you're looking for originality, you just failed.

okay... go for black boots also. kills the blood angels blues^^

Well, you guessed their founding chapter.
Their armor is red gore, and well, look at the Angels Encarmine. Blood angels with black pad trim and black packs. Only difference.
I wonder, should I put more white back? hmm, I'll go play with the painter
[EDIT] Angels encarmine, my mistake

do the shoulder pads black with a white trim and you can probably do the backpack black 2 that should give it a good look

Either of these tickle your fancy?

cant stand halved or quartered schemes, so the second apeals more to me.

but::::

no white backpack. i think that doesnt suit them. go black^^

Hmm, but black backpacks look so plain. Hmm, let me go see something

I like the 2nd one.

So do I.
Hmm, I can't think of a different backpack color that would still look good.
I wish Ailaros didn't leave, because he knows how to make an army look good. (and I want his rebuttal about the angels encarmine)

hes still online should pm him.

then do something withe the backpack crowns... make them red and also the outthingys on the backpack... its what i did with the sm for my son...^^

I think you should flip colours on each side so halve it the on one side red trim white inset other side white trim red inset

The halved scheme is my favourite so far it's difficult to come up with an original red and white scheme as there are so many of them around.
