Alright all, i've got about 8k of marines sitting around, finally managed to round out my collection with everything i need for it (strike cruiser, extra character pack, landing craft and Razorbacks came through the post a while ago; as well as some nice Mk2 landraiders) and now i want to do something interesting with them; strip it all and start from scratch!
At the moment they're in a very basic 'painted when i was 18' dark angels scheme; they don't look terrible but they're definitely not on par with all my other armies; so the question is, what to do?
All of the models (think bikes, tanks, etc here) - with the obvious exceptions) are Mk2/Epic40k era models (including Hunters which are mk2 whirlwinds with a mk3 hunter turret on top) so i want to go with an chapter that is fairly 'old' and archaic but aside from stripping them down and repainting them in better DA colour's (perhaps adding more Bleached bone this time) i can't think what to do really! Options runnign through my head at the moment include
-Blood Angels (cos i don't have a bright red army yet! My BL are Khornate but very dark!)
-Relictors (a cool colour scheme idea involving black shoulder pads perhaps; power weapons etc picked out in blue maybe; but i've already got a 'grey' imperial guard army!)
but apart from that i'm stumped! I'm quite a fan of old skool 40k aesthetics (red weapons, chevrons etc) if that helps anyone but think that may be lost in translation especially on stuff like chainswords...finally; one rule: NO ULTRAMARINES! I hate those generic blue bounders!
Help appreciated
Yrs,
