In reading this, my army is a good example of what I think is ok. I have a Marine Chapter I made up of my own design. They are a gold metal color with a brown wash. I was running them as codex but have since started coverting them to BA. I bought the blood angels models for HQ's and Death Company but my tactical squads, Assualt squads, and vets are all ready the same. Most people i have talked to don't have a problem with it as alot of BA models wear gold armor as it is, my whole chapter does is all, with vets having black helmets. Nothing is count as and i don't proxy anything. Now trying to do this for Space wolves or anything else I don't think would work as the models just don't convert over to their codex, I just count them as an offshoot of the BA called bloodhounds, using a paw symbol with a blood drop underneath. Codex they were retrievers.
