Greek-hinted armor and reliance on Long range support! (represents the spears)

Any ideas or models to boot?

How about an Odysseus-based-hero?

Ultramarines have a Greek/Roman motif going on.

Yeah, the Ultramarines.

Oh, they do dont they?......
well so much for that!

(that is why there is a space marine model with a ?greek/roman/trojan? mohawk helmet

There's also the "Iron Snakes" who hail from Ithaka.
And the Blood Angels, whose more ornate, ceremonial armor (especially for units like the Sanguinary Guard) is meant to imitate the Greco-Roman styles.

If you're not into the Ultramarines though you could try their numerous Successor chapters though. Sons of Orar look great, and they also sport the Greek-Roman motif quite heavily.

Screw the rules, make your own chapter. Then you get all the freedom with it you want.

For ideas, read Brothers of the Snake, about the (already mentioned) Iron Snakes chapter. They're very Grecian, and the book basically has their own version of 300 in it. I didn't like it but some people adore it.

Imperial Fists mothership is called Phalanx. Omg!

I always thought the Ultramarines had more of a Roman thing going on but one borrows from the other.
Iron Snakes are very Greek in style and structure.
Let us not forget however the Minotaurs chapter who have a Men of Bronze who took over Egypt thing going on as well and their decal sheet shows a lot of Greek lettering.

Could always use these guys...

I intend to have the names of my Imperial Guard tanks written in (ancient) Greek. That's not really relevant, though.

Minotaurs are VERY heavily based on Cretan mythology, which is close, and their new colours look quite classical Greek as well.

Beat me to it. Scibor looks quite beautiful. Have you seen a physical model of theirs?

I think Minotaurs are the closest yo Greeks, you can gey some Minotaur Accessories at Forgeworld (Rhino doors, Land Raider doors, HQ, shoulderpads etc.)

Just look at the chapter master of the minotaurs to find your answer

Yasu! Minotaurs hands down. The name, the Spartan themed chapter master moloch, the bronze and red color scheme, they are as Spartan as they come. But the iron snakes also got the Greek motif, being more "standard Greek" than the more 300 looking minotaurs. Personally I find the ultramarines too roman to be considered a proper "Greek" army. But people confusing Rome and Greece is a personal peeve of mine so take that how you will.

FW Minotaur chapter the chaplain and spartan shield guy.

Minotaurs, Imperial Armour vol. XII

Minotaurs, Iron Snakes and pre-Heresy Iron Warriors all have a Greek theme. Minotaurs very strongly so.
Minotaurs also have FW models and bits:

Aren't all space marines essentially Greco-Roman? I mean there's a formation called Gladius!

Yeah, it's Minotaurs.

Minotaurs.

Fun conversion idea; Take Sigmar Stormcast Eternals and give them MKIV armour helmets. You now have Minotaurs Assault Terminators.

I'd hope that after five years the original poster has decided on a chapter...

I hope so too...
