I decided to go for a roman centurion or legionary look, which i'm sure a lot of people have tried using many different armor mix and matches. Let me know what you guys think.

Only critique I have is that the helmet, body armor and shield look like three different golds. Cool armor pairing though!

That is partially due to different armor sets and materials representing colors slightly differently which is kinda annoying. But my choice in shield was intentional as the roman scutum, which it is intended to replicate, always had a bright golden eagle or wings. And the early roman loricas were made of bronze (although later on they were replaced by ferrous material), hence the color choice of antique bronze. I tried many shades of gold or metal or bronze to try to match the shield, but it didn't work out too good. It was either too bright, not glossy enough, or too glossy, etc.

The plushie will go as soon as I can gather some more gold to make an ascended backpiece, although i'm not sure what i'll go with. A gigantic book sitting on my back would look pretty silly so I was thinking maybe one of those arrow quiver ascended.

I would try lighter colors on the helmet, but it's a cool combination from armor, colors and weapons.
