Blinding shield or a lion shield work for me. The armor could be light fortification.

Ooh, I like the lion's shield idea. Assuming we go with that, and a target AC of 30, we're looking at ...
x (+4 Dex, +10 natural, +x armor, +4 shield)
That only leaves 2 points for armor. If we settle for AC 32, we could go with +1 chainmail or +1 banded mail, as the max Dex bonus balances it out.
Alternatively, we could drop the natural armor to +8, like the Movanic Deva, and go with +1 full plate. I think this best fits the visual I had of these fellows.
Regardless of the type, I definitely agree with light fortification.
Thoughts?

Agreed to dropping natural armor in order to fit +1 full plate.

Rather than relying on the weapons and armor to be destroyed in the death throes, maybe modify something like this?
Summon Armor (Su): An aurumach rilmani wears no armor, but when threatened by any attack, a semitranslucent suit of golden +4 full plate appears on its body just in time to help defend against the attack and then vanishes immediately after. The appearance of this armor cannot be prevented, but it can be suppressed in an antimagic field. The armor never affects an aurumach's speed, weight carried, or skill checks.
Summon Weapon (Su): An aurumach can be armed in an instant by magically summoning a a golden, Huge +3 halberd. When separated from the aurumach, the weapon vanishes. An aurumach can summon or dispel its own weapon as a free action.

I like the idea of the summoned weapon and armor, but not that it doesn't count for ACP and encumberance.

I realized that they wouldn't be able to fly in such heavy armor, so here's a writeup to provide an exception for that...
Heavenly Armaments (Su): An angel of wrath can be armed in an instant by magically summoning a suit of golden armor, shield, and sword. The sword functions as a +3 holy longsword, the shield as a lion's shield, and the armor as a suit of +1 light fortification full plate. This supernatural armor allows the angel to fly with no penalty. Upon the angel's death, or when separated from the angel, the weapon, armor, and shield vanishes. An angel of wrath can summon or dispel its own accoutrements as a free action.
Do we want to give them regeneration like the planetar and solar? If so, I'd recommend 5, as the planetar is 10 and solar is 15.
Skills: 11 at 16 ranks
Skills common to all angels: Concentration, Diplomacy, Knowledge (any x), Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spot (and a couple have Balance)
Additional skills common to "greater" angels: Craft (any x), Escape Artist, Hide, Intimidate, Search, Spellcraft
Feats: 5
Feats common to most angels: Cleave, Great Cleave, Improved Initiative, Power Attack
Other feats among angels: Alertness, Blind-Fight, Dodge, Great Fortitude, Improved Sunder, Iron Will, Mobility, Track, Weapon Focus (greatsword)

I like the armaments. Yeah, let's do regen 5.
Balance, Concentration, Diplomacy, Intimidate, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (the planes), Listen, Move Silently, Sense Motive, Spot, Tumble?
Cleave, Great Cleave, Improved Initiative, Power Attack, and either Weapon Focus (longsword) or Empower SLA (if we need that for the wall of fire).

Agreed to regen 5, freyar's skills and feats (with Empower SLA instead of Weapon Focus)

Organization: Solitary, pair, or host (x)?
An angel of wrath is x feet tall and weighs about x pounds. (No original size was given, so I'm guessing just typical human-sized).
Reduce land speed to account for full plate, or build in a "doesn't effect land speed" clause to heavenly armaments as well?
