I've got a load of Dark Angel vets, but no desire to play Dark Angels. The look awesome what with the robes and hoods, but thinking of how to organize them (equip and then paint, etc) has me perplexed.

I have a hefty SM army. Non typical chapter but conforms and I can use various units to play any of the mainline SM. I'm good there.

On the chaos side I've got a decent chunk of CSM and old RT renegades that I'm leaning towards a combination of Death Guard and Black Legion.

My spare Dark Angel vets though .. what to do. Some I think I'll build out as a Fallen detachment, but I'll have like 20-30 of the buggers left after that. I'm at a loss.

I'd love to equip them with spare sniper rifles and such (which would look awesome) but I'd not want to strand them and not field them because they were too far off anything they'd represent. I don't have all the codices current (yet) so if it isn't CSM or SM (and the more mainstream of those) I've got no idea what to maybe do next.

I've considered them as a small Alpha Legion CAD with long barreled autocannon. It'd fit a bit the subterfuge and style, but not sold on that. Are there things in the inquisition, grey knights, hell deathwatch that I'm just not aware of where the robed bodies would look cool? Other CSM options? Maybe that gives a bit of stealth or something to havoks?

Thanks for any help!
