Just make sure you have lots of assault squads. Also make sure all the kits you get are mark V from Forge World.

Finally, if you are getting Tyberos then the cataphractii won't really match him, but if that doesn't bother you then go for it!

Wow, some love has been put into those models! Thanks for the link

I'm certainly looking into assault but is there much difference between the plastic ones available and the Forgeworld mini's?

As for the Terminators, I'm okay with a little mismatch as they gear is recycled given they are in the void for most of their action.

There is no difference in that all the parts between GW and FW marines are interchangeable, mark v head with Mark iii body with GW marine legs etc. Though Carcharodons are noted for having a large amount of Mark V for some reason.

Just as you said, they are also known for resupplying on the run, so mismatching marks is a cool way of showing this, and giving your army some flair, especially if you have most of it as mark V.

This isn't to say thst you can't just use GW marines if you want, as they already are a mash up of different marks, but as you are going FW anyway, you may as well go full hog!
