Your terminators look especially cool. The freehand on the shoulder is even more effective on them than your other marines (which are also nice). Good Work!

What I played around with on my 40k-scale Ravenwing was a Testors acrylic color called Dark Sea Blue (also available from Vallejo), and hit it with a coat of black ink.  Finish the bike off with lots of chrome trim (err, boltgun highlighted with mithril silver).  Don't matte the model, as a mix of Future and ink makes a nice, protective gloss surface (that highlights itself).

This might be too dark for Epic models, but that's where I'd start.

CC, you're nuts for painting the Chapter Badges, but now I'm going to have to for my DAs. They look so much better that way!

Yes it's amazing what a few streaks with a brush can do to make chapter iconography:

Salamders are just cool.  Maybe because they are green too

Well after work kicked my but a bit the holiday gave me a chance to take some photos.

This next unit was my answer to the fact that I don't include scouts in my marine army (I live in my own 40K universe).

So I envisioned squads of experiened marines acting as Scouts and/or cavalry for the main force.  They are assigned Razorbacks to make up for the lack of heavy weapon in the unit.  

I imagine they would team up well with the marine armor acting as infantry protection for the tanks.

In other worls I made up a unit to give my painted razorbacks to.  :p

Blast!.. I keep missing stuff!

Nice looking marines and Rhinos. I really like your Pred's too.
I only one small criticism... Ravenwing! Ravenwing! Ravenwing!.. I think I have now made my views clear.

Love your DA's. Your termies are what kicked me in the ass to start/finish up a lot of my DA that I have had kicking around for years. I had to see if I could do freehand markings as well as yours.
