Way, way, back in the dawn of time I had a Blood Angels Army based around one of the original metal Dreds and a load of the first starter set 40K. They were orange in those days, as I recall.
Finally getting around to opening my new Indomitus set, I was going to just add them to my Ultrasmurf Army. But then I had a radical idea: why not paint an army operating beyond The Great Tear in Space? Blood Angels are the obvious choice, especially as Dante is now Head Honcho of half the galaxy.
I went for a dark look for the captain, especially on the shield. These are dark days, after all. Anyway, I hate the white shields.
I will probably paint the line troops a little more brightly.

Blood Angels look great, I like the dark red but I am a sucker for the 90’s red/orange too.
I like the orange guys as well, but I am notoriously colour vision challenged.

Ultrasmurfs is a nickname for the electric blue Ultramarines Chapter. They are correct, proper, dutiful, and wax and polish their tanks.
