paint your chapter up how you want it.

BAs have successor chapters, so do BT, DA, and Smurfs.

simply use the rules you want.

well you can still do really well with blue marines. they're by no means a bad army.

yup yup. thank you very much for your views. I hadnt given much thought to Librarians in my Assault squads. But it sounds cool.
" Imperial Hornets" Dark grey with Yellow jacket striping, and bone colored helmets.
Ill post pics when i get some more paint on them.

**AbaddonFidelis**

yeah please do. send me a pm when they're up.

Sounds good, but beware! Painting yellow is about as hard as convincing an inquisitor that your innocent.

"Anyone who pleads innocent in my court is guilty of wasting my time! Guilty!"

I think that's the quote at least.

There is only a small amount of yellow on them, on the shoulder pad edges, a little on the belts, and a little on the groin & butt pad. Other than that they are shades of grey.( Astronomicon, and codex)
I use tau sept as a base, wash in flesh, highlight with a dry brush of bad moon yellow and a very tiny bone white highlight. add boltgun dots for chips on the edges and you have a good idea what your looking at. Its more to contrast the grey than stand out. I didnt want to paint a lot of yellow.
