First Idea: I am planning on buying two boxes of Assault Marines, one sprue of Assault Marine Shoulder Pads, one sprue of Aurora Chapter Shoulder Pads (for looks, not actually using that chapter), one sprue of Chaos Warrior Halberds, and one sprue of Dark Elf Iron Talon Shields OR one sprue of Dark Elf Kraken Shields. With that I was planning on making them all have regular axes (instead of chainswords), and the Sergent would have a powersword or whatever. The shields are all going to be used as storm/thunder shields (I forget which is which). I was also wondering if I should keep my 'Nid bitz, or toss them because basing a whole army with Spinefists and Fleshborers would be pretty bleh. The only other bitz I have are some Tau guns, Eldar tank weapons, and some SM Boltguns.

Second Idea: I was thinking about (NOT planning) getting some small pieces of wood and making a sort of Chaos-y building. Like the one you always see SM's defending. It would be Chaos-y because of the lack of skill used in making it (trololo!) and I'd use the CSM tank decals (i.e. the spikey stuffs).

All support/other ideas are all greatly appreciated (times 9001d6), and if anyone knew if there was a ten-pack of Silver Skulls shoulder pads I'd love you to bits.

Attached here is a pic of how the Marines will be painted, as will the rest of my army. Without the Liche Purple background. All the gray things (head, eagle wings) are Gunmetal.
