Recently I bought assult on black reach, i have a small dark angels force but i have been thinking is it time to create my own chapter or should i just create a couple of new companys
any way i created the Night Biters a fully terminator armoured company.
as soon as i have some pictures i will post them.

Well I finaly painted the first one, i will try to get a better picture of the shoulder emblem
but for now this is the squad captin.
i will also post pictures of the other members of the squad they have black and yellow eyes.

I like the concept of the paint scheme you are going for...the captains from bleach right? Looks good on your model. I would say make up your own chapter, as for doing all termis i would suggest the space wolves codex cause the weapon options are better for termis (better cyclones also). But its up to you

thanks i will stick with the dark angels though i have decided to create a new chapter
with the Night Biters as a company but i will continue to post pictures of the Night Biters as they expand.
the reason i chose dark angels is because Belial gives termies an apothacary which is cool and also i can use them as troops
which again is cool and you noticed that they are styled round bleach captins only the Night biters are my other companys wont be
but their power weapons I will style so they look like zanpacto and i will equip all leaders with them except my current company master
who is converted from the emperors champion but thats another matter

You really need to have two light sources, one on either side of the model, for us to get a good look... focus would be nice too but I assume you are stuck with a mobile or something?

Anyway, I like the concept... I can't really rate the painting, but (and please don't take this the wrong way) the white hair+hairstyle really does give him a gothy look (and I don't mean classical gothic)

There are answers to those q's
first my camera is ancient i really need a new one my phone has a better camera
but has no battery.
second they are vampires so yes he has a right to look gothic,
well if i go into fluff they were accidently created by the medical department of reserch and development
a bit like the 'bounts' except instead of being rejected by society they were allowed there own company
i will post the fluff story some day but i will have to edit it as i haven't decided on all the factors of my new army.

If y'all need any help with fluff, Angels of Darkness suggests that the reason the supposedly uncorrupted (a rare thing indeed) geneseed of the Dark Angels isn't utilised is because there is a flaw in it... that Lion El' Jonson passed to his Marines an insane paranoia and urge for secrecy.

A little bit of help would be nice but first i need to come up with a name for the successor chapter,

Angels Sanguine?

Sounds a bit Blood Angel-ish though, but you will if you go down the whole vampirism route... that's a flaw present in their geneseed, not the Dark Angels'.

wait I think you missed something i said,
I said they were 'created' it was an addittion to the gene seed
but that is fluff

I now have a plan to convert the assult on black reach dreadnought into a venrable
I will post pictures of it's construction but anyone got any ideas of how to?

ok sorry these pics arn't the dreadnaught soon to be venerable dreadnaught I was inspired by something
can't actually remember what but went through my bitz box and created a base for my vampiric termie.

I've got a name for my chapter 'The Iron flames'

Ok these are long promised, these are the pics of my dread conversion
sorry if they are a bit dark, just as a warning I'm not finished yet.

Posing it on your sketchbook was a bad idea, I can't tell what is ink and what is dreadnought on the last one

sorry I will try to get some better photos but what do you think so far?

Good green stuff'ing for the icon, but I really need to see some better shots of your guy's cloak (try using sunlight or something?)... It looks like you had similar problems to what I did when I tried making proper robes.

I'd suggest you have a look at making tabards like these:

I did the same and it's much easier.

For a chapter name, how about the Forbidden Angels? Makes sense since it seems your entire chapter is essentially composed of mutants.

Not much as pictures are that bad.

I have a fluff idea for you... I know that vampyres exist as mutants within the Imperium... If you want to explain their vampiric abilities WITHOUT going against fluff by implying that the Dark Angel geneseed is mutated, how about building the chapter around some conspiracy where the recruiting worlds for this Chapter are overrun by Vampires? And the only successful applicants to enter the ranks are Vampires themselves?

I do like the idea, and your greenstuffing skills are far better than mine, but just a quick word of advice on the White paint on the cloaks etc, since your spraying black when you put White paint over the top straight away, even the tiny spots you miss can be seen and the White doesn't look smooth because of the black, next time try layering it bleached bone then white.
Now that my grumpy bits out the way for names of your chapter, that can be a bit tricky because the name could end up sounding like a BA expansion or a Fallen Angel warband, I'd say something like (if it's an all termie company) the hammer of lion or (errrm) the shadow of the Emporer. Hope that gives you some idea's .

Thank you for name suggestions but i decided on the name 'the iron flames'
main reason: my power armour troops all have flames free handed on to the (trouser thingys / legs)
also only my termies are vamps but now i have the chapter name 'It's FLUFF TIME !!!'
[since your spraying black when you put White paint over the top straight away, even the tiny spots you miss can be seen and the White doesn't look smooth because of the black, next time try layering it bleached bone then white]
thanks i will remember that for next captin/vetrean

Interesting Idea but given how a squad in the Soul Society is more like a company for Space Marines I'd give the captains cloak to my commanders and make my Chapter Master head captain.

the master of the Night Biters will have the coat for head captin
my chapter master isn't quite finnished but he is a conversion of the emperors champion
but he already has an awsome name Gladius the gloomy

"The Gloomy"? Is he one of the Seven Dwarves?

errrr... well to be honest he is taller than most space marines
and well he just looks as if he's saying 'I KILL YOU!'
but the name just kinda fitted.

This is not my chapter master but i may use him as a company master or something like that.
but i actually tried a couple of techniques on him to give him the look he has so i may end up
using him.

news flash:
my venerable dread conversion is almost complete just need to create a few more purity seals and then finish painting
(explosion of happiness)
