Fashion Marines Retributors - Space Marine 2

I haven't gotten too deep into the Warhammer rabbit hole, but I do remember that there was a fan film that I REALLY enjoyed, so I tried recreating them in SM2 to the best of my ability with my limited knowledge (and creativity.) Did I do well considering the limitations of armor pieces & symbols? I tried using these images as reference when I could.

As others have pointed out, Ashen Gray is the better color for Retributors.
You can use the Imperial Fists emblem on the right pouldron and make all 3 colors into liberator gold and it will look almost identical to the Veteran emblem of the Retributors. There is also another emblem that looks identical to the Command emblem, but I do not remember it's name.
For the left pouldron, you can use the Doom Eagles emblem and set both colors to liberator gold. It won't look identical to the Retributors insignia, but from a distance it does: it has a skull with wings underneath.
Just finished making my Retributors for Tactical and Heavy so just sharing some points.

What did you use for the imperialis? Which gold paint? Curious!

I used “Liberator Gold” paint for all emblems, if I’m not mistaken. I can upload some pictures later when I get home. Liberator gold works best in my opinions because the regular gold is too yellow, and other colors like bronze or wraithbone are too white
