Ok, after just getting my first Warriors of Chaos I have a feral Norse army to please Odin. So I wana make some Space Marines but not be a lackey to the false Emperor.
So... an entire chapter of Techmarines *using robed dark angels* with lots of tanks ,heavy armor? and of course tech marines.

Is this more so like the Iron hands chapter? well I wanna be like that but straight from mars preaching the Ommisah.

Should I go for it?

There are no space marines that follow only the Admech. The closest you could get are skitarii which are basically beefy imperial guard. You could make an iron-hands like chapter that would be friendly with the admech, but they would still always serve Imperium first.

For reference, techmarines that serve in space marine chapters are lower on the chain-o-respect/command than extremely lowly tech priests as far as the Admech is concerned.

Lame D: I wana make a mechanicum army.

Straight from Mars - I don't believe so.

But maybe a heavy techmarine army from an artifact world, now maybe that would be more of an idea.

Space Wolves style army sent to secure an artifact world and ended up setting up base and began researching finding the way of Ommisah to be the right way so techmarines have risen to the stations of power within the chapter. Try that. That allows for the norse theme and a tech marine theme at the same time.

Good Luck

Yeah, Techmarines are at the lowest level of the Adeptus Mechanicus-- they get trained on Mars and are technically part of the Cult Mechanicus, but aren't part of the normal Adeptus Mechanicus hierarchy and serve as full Marines in their chapter once they return from Mars.

Cool, well I got a norse army already.

I just love the idea of a Cult of Marines who preach the Ommisah not the Emperor.

Well some chapters have dissapeared and fight the Imperium without being Chaos aligned and they might be helped out by some of the Adeptus Mechanicus traitors, the ones that started using black tech and innovating technology.

They could have been "decieved" by some of these Adeptus Mechanicus fallen members and recruited to serve the Omnissiah, but this would mean that they follow the idea of the Machine God and could transform themselves (likely and voulentirly perhaps) into some sort of Terminators ("I'll be back").

Be advised though that this is also the idea at the base of the Iron Hands, they think that flesh has to be replaced by mechanical items.
