Hello dakkanauts and dakkites...
Im starting my own chapter, and all I have right now is a lousy concept of what they should be, some ideias of what they will do, and some color scheme designs...
The concept:
"The  are a fleet based chapter who dwell around Ultima Segmentum, fighting all types of enemies of mankind. They attain to a strict code of chivalry, and use tactics of fast and organized quick strikes. The close combat prowness is very respected among the mebers of the chapter, and they have a strange way to respect xeno beyings".
- Knightly apearance (robes, knight helmets, heraldic)
- Respect for personal deeds, much like in the way Space Wolves do.
- They dont use scouts as other marines do, instead, they hire alien mercenaries to do the job (Kroots?)
I came with some color schemes, but i could not decide wich one looks better for the concept of the chapter, and for that im asking your help guys:
1  2 
3  4 
5  6 
7 
Wich one you think that look's better? Thank you for the help...

Well are they a loyalist chapter?
Because Recruiting "Alien Mercenaries" are not up the ally of most Adeptus Astartes.
I could see a Deathwatch Kill Team being ordered to kill your mercenaries.
But I like

Well, they are loyalists, but very much like Space Wolves or Black Templar, wich means "I fight for the emperor, not for the guys who say that talk for him".
So, they break rules sometimes, and that Deathwatch Kill Team could have some trouble...

This one is great! 
Seconded. Not many colors on the primary design makes the details stand out and improve the lisibility on the battlefield. I may be hardcore on that, but anymore than 2 primary colors and I think I am looking at Harlequins in power armours.

guess what. I essentially have a similar design. Can you wait till tonight for me to post photos? it will be about..... 8 hours till i get back home shoot and upload. This way you can see what to expect......... Adendum: I'm sorryt to say that all of your color choices are terrible except for the yellow-greys. Add a little more red (both shoulders, or maybe a stripe on the helmet) to identify vets, and its a solid alternative to your grey-yellow. The others have just too much going on them. The white-green one is good too, but I'd avoid the yellow elbow and knee guards. I might trim the knee in yellow, but not solid color.

To glimpse the future, you must look to the past and understand it. Names may change, but human behavior repeats itself. Prophetic insight is nothing more than profound hindsight.
It doesn't matter how bloody far the apple falls from the tree. If the apple fell off of a Granny Smith, that apple is going to grow into a Granny bloody Smith. The only difference is whether that apple grows in the shade of the tree it fell from. |
