My Latin is C+ at best. What does "Fossarii" mean?

Black Sheep Squadron:

Dark angels

Here's my Storm Eagles lads... Lots of Tech Marine goodness in there, and I really like servitors, for whatever reason. Maybe the whole space zombie thing just does it for me.

I only have one scout painted so far but i have a concept color scheme pic also so that should help with the rest
I named my chapter Warriors Tempest



Oh and may i say that I really like the conversions by easytiger, and the color scheme on the army by Necros

Group Shot!!!!!!

I started these as Genesis Chapter, but everyone mistook them for Blood Angels so I changed them to a DIY chapter named the Crimson Angels.

Wait I don't get it, they roll cigars, so they're good with flamers and the weapon that requires less dexterity than a freakin baneblade cannon to use?

These are the minis from the AoB box, must really do a full pic with the other units I have. Must also get around to finishing them propper as well

I really just half assed typing the lore - the full one is this (hope you like it):

History:
A Space Marine Chapter using the home world of Kuba, they are descendants of the Salamanders Geneseed. Having a very tribalistic population, The salamanders belived that a chapter formed here would create very powerful marines. One distinct feature of the planet is the cultivation of a drug known as tobacco. More potent and dangerous then the Guard issue Iho-stick, this drug was later banned to the imperium due to its ability to have anyone who smoked the substance hooked (as well as creating a sort of "leisure chemical" within the guardsmen who then slacked at their post). The space marines take much pride in the fact that they can in fact smoke the drug, and take great efforts to roll them in the harsh conditions given in the factories of the planet. These "cigars," as they have termed it, are only rolled in the harshest heat of the forges to get the full effect of chemical mixtures that allows the cigar to be that addictive. These skills in the forges have also somehow translated into the usage of flame weapons, since the process of creating these Kuban Tobacco's is quite harsh in the heat of the forge.

The first leader of the Kuban Chapter was Martius, who believed essentially that everyone in the Imperium was as importatnt as the next. The Ministorium ignored his slightly heretical views, since they did not want to get involved fighting a space marine chapter. Sadly, as time went on however, each leader continually began to view the imperium in a very distasteful tone, seeing that the idea that every human was created equal was far from being enacted. As of now, the imperium has enacted certain sanctions on the space owned by Kuban Space Marines, and the current Chapter Master Fidelius Castrous is biding his time to see what the future hold for his marines, and for the imperium as a whole.

Well i started these back in 2002 and just getting back into them, still haven't got a full army but mainly a modeler anyhow. Back-up by a scratch built titan.
