I must say, now that I see the colours properly, it's a good dam painting job!! Don't know about the stripes... I like as it is now and with the stripes it might be to much, to flamboyant.
One small thing: you might want to darken a bit more the inside of the cloak because as it is now it takes the attention away from the armour.
