What Should I Go With?

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask for your opinions on whether I should paint my new Blood Angels as normal Blood Angels or as Angels Encarmine. I like the combination of red and black, but I personally hate the alabaster-white Death Company/Sanguinary Guard armour. While I actually don't have any Death Company or Sanguinary guard in my normal list, I'm planning out a Death Company list with Astorath and such. Please guys, what to do?

I used the Angel Encarmine paint scheme because it fits with my old 2nd ed paintscheme. I find it hard to like the purely red marines, and yes as I painted them I found the red black contrast very nice. Especially on the tanks, which I did similar to Picsters (at least in colour schemes if not quality!). I also hate painting backpacks, so black and a highlight and they look jazzy.

 

When I first heard of white DC I thought it would look stupid as well. I haven't painted my Death Company Alabaster yet, but wow, some people have done such a great job with them I'm really tempted to follow their lead. Having said that, I am old school, and I know how difficult it is to pull of a really good colour white, so I doubt I'll actually ever do it. :)

 

The only thing I dislike about the Angels Encarmine is the horrible chapter insignia. I think it looks pretty gross compared to the sleek BA one, so I decided not to change that.
