I'm going to start playing Blood Angels soon.

But I had an idea for a theme to go by when I paint them.

If anyone here is familiar with Street Fighter, they would know of the character Akuma.
Akuma has this symbol... http://www.creativeuncut.com/wallpaper/street-fighter-4-23a.jpg

That symbol means "Sky, Heaven, Heavenly Sky, etc."

Now I'm not saying a Japanese or Kanji, or whatever form of writing that is theme army, although that'd be cool too.

But just to paint that symbol on their shoulder pads, vehicles, cloaks, etc.

I mean they do come from the sky and well that symbol makes so much sense to their style.

Does anyone agree with this being a good idea?

Which symbol? all I got was a page full of text with some streetfighter faces

Link seems to be fine. But for Akuma, it's under this...

Hmm, I think it would definately be different. If you did it right it would look good. It would also make alot of sense, because white people (and im white myself) have a tendency to get chinese and japanese symbols wrecklessly tattooed on their body like idiots for no reason at all. --Maybe this just goes on in the US
