You should make them so that they are compatible with any codex you choose to use with them.

You should make them Eldar, the best kind of Space Marine.

THIS is excellent advice.

As we are, after all, living in the Golden Age of "Counts As". why not?

What does your Codex say?



At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money.

Core, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. Core has changed. ID tagged soldiers carry ID tagged weapons, use ID tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. Core has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. Core has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war... becomes routine.

DEATH WATCH.
REALLY COOL FLUFF & COLOR SCHEME.
And easier to paint!



If you want play "hard",I'd suggest Dark Angels(Fallen Angels). Its cool background but really hard to play!
But yeah....you can field "ALL TERMINATOR ARMY"....why not love them.

Check out background on all the chapters you can find. Then, make your decision. Or, make your own chapter up and do it that way.

The more important aspect over colour is, which codex to use.

BA, SW, or C:SM is a big difference (less so between BA and C:SM).

Tactically flexible, almost able to play the army however you want to = C:SM

Mechanized jump packing, or fast armored wall = BA

Good at everything = SW

Personally, I picked C:SM. I had old Salamanders I painted when I was a younger man that I wanted to use so I did that.

Just moved to Australia.

u could make them blood angels because they have so many different types of armour and hqs like the new hq for them so choose blood angels!!!!!!!! even tho im an ultramarine fan maybe do them instead but is ur choice

"Straight Fething Silver" Tanith first and only

I have a reputation, Modile, a reputation as a fair, honest man who treats his soldiers well and supports them in the face of darkness. Potentially, that reputation makes me soft. It seems I understand failure and forgive it. Some, like Kowle, believe me to be a weak commissar, not prepared to take the action my rank demands. Not prepared to enforce field discipline where I see it failing. I am an Imperial commissar. I will enflame the weak, support the wavering, guide the lost. I will be all things to all men who need me. But I will also punish without hesitation the weak, the incompetent, and the treasonous.
I am a Commissar. I am empowered to deliver justice wherever I see it lacking. I am empowered to punish cowardice. I am granted the gift of total authority to judge, in the name of the Emperor, on the field of combat.
— Colonel-Commissar Ibram Gaunt, prior to the field execution of his uncle General Aldo Dercius

Here, obviously

I suggest Black Templars, if only because they're a decent marine army with loads of flavour.

Yes, but consider how awesome it would be to commit seppuku with a powerfist.
