Oooh, this looks promising!

Regarding the Heraldry, is that going to be laid upon the shoulders of your marines? if so its going to be a pain to paint, there is some very fine detail that would need to be covered. One possible way to get around it is by using the shoulder pads from the rhino accessories sprue the ones with the cog and skull, shave off the skull so you are left with the cog, then paint your anvil and scythe onto it. The older look is going to rock btw, however I'm not sold on the colour scheme, you've already got one army that is based of a similar paint scheme, why not try something a bit different and change the colours up? (stay away from white and yellow, they are b@stards)

Colour me interested on the Arachnos packs..... I want to know more.

Wow, really like the fluff, you've got a great description going on and the Icon's match the background quite well.

I've never been a fan of the over the shoulder heavy weapons but they do look quite nice

Quick question about the Iron Mongers? While in stasis/cloning the space marines are not going through a codex standard day (weapon drills, field exercises, weapon maintainence etc) wouldn't their battlefield effectiveness be slightly diminished as they wouldn't be up to date with the latest tactic's and weapons? I guess this would give you more options to have older armor and... less orthodox equipment....

Wow!

what the feth is that!?

In my opinion simple its better, if you are painting lots of models, something that is complex will end up doing your head in. Simple wins!

Some awesome models in there mate!

Really like the armless one, has a quiet character about him

Awesome man, I can't wait to see what you do with the piping
