Cool ideas guys  really expansive background befitting that huge Mechanicus army, and I love Rogue-Trader style irregular armies.
I also love the idea of a mountain-world Valhallan-esque army. Infantry-heavy armies are what I feel 40k should really be about (all these GMCs and Superheavies are for Apocalypse games...).
You could also make a really cool Zone Mortalis board with mountain crevasses and suchlike  that sort of gameplay would really suit your infantry and walker-heavy army

I have always wanted to make a small Halloween themed SM army. They would be a group SM who had discovered an ancient tradition (Halloween). After a large portion of their chapter had been killed, they believed the best way to honor the dead was to constantly participate in this ancient tradition. They changed their armor to reflect this ancient way and went on their own warpath. They struck out on their own and although still are loyal to the Imperium, they often work as mercenaries to bankroll their campaign. Their mental state is not completely steady as they take unhinged pleasure is spreading pain and terror among enemies but give out treats and good will to civilians and friends. What do y'all thing?

Pretty much but with different fluff and special characters are like other Halloween related things, like vampires and zombies, not just pumpkins.

Had some more ideas for armies
Saim-Hann Wild Riders
Usual Eldar Jetbikes with Seer Council/Bike Autarch. Vypers for heavier guns. Then, the best bit, Dark Eldar Raiders full of Wyches, but modelled as 'Wild Host' Wardancers. Play up the more barbaric nature of Saim-Hann by having boats full of choppy CC Eldar using kitbashed Guardians and Glade Guard
Blanchitsu Imperial Guard
For the life of me I can't find who said it, but I remember reading someone here saying that they were always a little disappointed by the Imperial Guard. They seemed a little too 'green army men...in spaaace', and I absolutely agree. Apart from kickass regiments like Vostroyans and the Kriegers, they seem to be lacking a little of the grimdark gothic-ness of the rest of the universe.
So, the idea would be to Blanchitsu-up the Imperial Guard. More cybernetic enhancements, replace special weapons people with gun-servitors, more servo skulls and those creepy flying cherub things. Make an Imperial Guard regiment that's fitting with the whole gothic-punk feel of the 40k universe
Chaos as a standard human empire using an alternative tech tree
Having read a couple of sci-fi novels where human technology of the future is based on biological engineering (Skin Suits in Fallen Dragon by Peter F Hamilton), it struck me how close that was to the technology that Chaos uses. That got me thinking as to what a genuine reasonable-marines Chaos empire would actually look like. Less of the 'they're all insane cultists!', more 'realistic human empire that uses daemon-forged and biological/mutation based technology'. Still working out how best to represent that.
Oh, and I tried my head-swapped Skitarii for my Lizardmen...in Spaaace idea but I didn't like them. The Ranger/Vanguard bodies are too bulky for the look I want (needs a more severe hip-to-shoulder ratio). Thinking about using Sicarian bodies with Skink/Saurus legs instead.

Your chaos as an alternative tech empire basically describes WHFB chaos dwarves; They had a stable empire based on slave trade / labour and chaos powered tech/artefacts.

Perfect  I'll look up their background for inspiration. Dropping a couple of hints to them would be cool
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Just come up with a doozie.
Dark Eldar Mandrake army...
...using the Genestealer Cults codex. Mostly T3, a couple of nasty S4 CC attacks. Plus, Cult Ambush/Return to the Shadows seems tailor made for a Mandrake strike force. A Broodlord as Kheradruakh would be epic too.

Neat  I like the idea of a Tau fear-tactics army. Not through inherent evilness, but simply because it's the logical way to combat the enemies they come across.
Clinical, scientific application of terror.
I like it

With the expanse of the Imperium it's safe to say that you'd have a lot of small trade-worlds which were outside the normal trading zones, etc. While the Imperium may be concerned about xenos and heretical stuff, there must be countless thousands of worlds "outside" of the real sphere of influence.
While I likely won't bother building the force, I was going to do an army based on a private colony, funded by a rich merchant or two.
-Imperial guard in slouch hats (victoria miniatures etc.)
-Kroot mercenaries
-Some WW1/WW2 vehicle kit-bashes
-Some rough-riders on alien mounts
-A small Terminator force as bodyguards (either rebel Space Marines or surgically/medically enhanced guys with stolen/recovered suits)
etc. Very Rogue Trader/"Dune"/Colonial flavored.

Human civilization, linked together by mass neural implantation that creates a technological "hive mind". Ruled by incredibly powerful artificial intelligences, and have a fully automated society. Makes heavy usage of robots and drones.

Neat  strip out the AI and replace it with cogitators/servitors and you could make a very nice grimdark 40k human world out of that  especially if it's mechanicus/biologos-y
Sounds a little Culture like as is. If you haven't read any of those books I'd thoroughly recommend them

The point of the civilization is people voluntarily surrendering their individuality and ability to control their own destiny. I suppose it could work with an enormous cogitator, but I have a preference for making the "government" as far from humanity (and superior) as possible.
I'm working on The Culture, that's the series I'll be reading later this month.

With the release of IA, I am considering some Ordo Xenos to ally my deathwatch with.
I'm gonna do counts as Kataphron battle servitors with Tyranid warriors mixed with Admech-Centurion-DW bits.
I already have an inquisitor, the few actual acolytes will be the Cadian Karsnick or whatever, and the priests will be heavily converted cultists.
The plan is that they are very radical Ordo Xenos, on the fringe of renegade, very bright purple colour scheme to compliment the purple accents my DW have.
Maybe a dreadknight represented by a electronically controlled Mawloc, who knows?
Oh, and some heavily converted LotD as I don't like duplicate models, and I want 10 in my army. They will probably be more ghostly, instead of black and fire I wanna do very very ethereal, think AoS ghosts, although I don't know how that would translate to a space marine, I guess I shall see.

A big Mek's shop and entourage/affiliates.
Obviously there is a Big Mek as warlord. He's proppa professional and 'gets da job dun' so he is a Goff wearing Mega Armour (da only appropriate equipment to grace da battlefield in).
Next we have the shop hands, the grots. These are herded by Snake Bite runterds, because as a serious professional the Big Mek believes in hiring the right talent for the job.
Expanding troops we have the 'acquisitions team'. These are Deathskulls, riding tow trukks into battle. Their job is to get in to a scrap and then get all the resulting scrap back to the mek's shop.
How do the Deathskulls know where to find the best scrap? A super sneaky recon team, that's how! Cammoed up Blood Axe Death Koptas and/or Bikers, loaded up with survival supplies, extra food, and all the provisions they need to keep their vehicles rolling towards the next big procurement.
Sometimes the recon will find a target of substantial value, but perhaps too tough for the regular boyz to deal with. In these circumstances the mek can call in his team of Freeboota tankbustas / commandos to get the job done (at a price, of course)!
Underlying every good business is the cashflow. As such we have 'da money'. These are ostentatious Badmoon Nobz, acting as investors and clients, wanting to load up on Mega armor, kustom weapons and so on.
Being a serious Goff, the Big Mek can't simply cobble stuff together and flog it regardless of whether it works. That is far too deviant.
As such, he has pieced together a 'Field Testing' team. These Evil Suns load up in a looted/battlewagon to get up close to the enemy and unleash the might of the inventions (whether as Flash Gitz, Looters or Burna Boyz), all under the close supervision of the Big Mek. He can't be allowing shenannigans. On their luckiest days the Evil Sunz get to try out the jump packs!

I like the fear Tau, that's an unusual mix.
Personally, if I could get the parts/money/time/skill with painting, I'd like to make a mismatch guard regiment focused on the ANZAC's, while also adding guardsmen from some other more well known planets. The idea is that the survivors of a bunch of regiments were mushed together because everyone else was dead, like grimdark NATO forces. It also gives me an excuse to create a bunch more worlds based off of ancient armies, such as Iselians (really grimdark Israelies) or Amarkians (think Civil War era Americans that look like captain america).

Love the idea of Tyranid Servitors. Fits a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor perfectly  the chap who does the 'Little Camera, Big Results' thread has a kickass Forgefiend converted from a Carnifex when he runs his Deathwatch using CSM rules.
Also, anything that replaces that godawful Dreadknight model is good in my books
Interesting idea on the Legion of the Damned. I'm picturing something akin to Astartes-Ringwraiths, but Lord knows how you'd do that to make them not look like pauldrons glued onto Spirithosts :S

Yeah that's a kickass idea  I've always felt that War Walkers were very Ranger-y. Dark Eldar Mandrake rules also fit rather nicely with a stealthy/camouflaged Ranger army

Yeah the fear and Tau combo is very unexpected  I like it
That guardsmen idea is a good one  you'd have tons of options for making some really unique models as each one is a survivor. I also love the idea of expanding and making some more fleshed-out IG regiments. Tons of scope for that
Heh, you could do quite a good Avengers-themed Kill Team thinking about it. An Astartes as the Cap, an Ogryn for the Hulk, Ad Mech chappy for Ironman, Dark Eldar Wych/Hekatrix as Black Widow, Lord knows for the bow chappy and Thor I'll need a hand with (something with a Thunder Hammer).
Reminds me of the couple of kickass models over on The Convertorum that are Grimdark Star Trek. For instance, Bones the Magos Biologis:

Here is my origin story (i made it before the Horus Heresy books)
The Founding of the DOOM BRINGERS
It was after the Istvan Campaign, that seventy space marines chose for the Emperor, They Mutinied for the sake of the Empire turning against their chapters and their warmaster HORUS.
Were these marines traitors or the most loyal of them all?
Seventy marines: fifteen World Eaters, twelve Death Guard, twenty from the Thousand Sons, ten Luna Wolves, ten Emperor's Children and the 3 officers who accompanied them. But there were more, from every chapter that defected to HORUS, there were some who had their doubts (From the Iron Warriors, Night Lords, The Word Bearers, Alpha Legion, Etc). Some were killed escaping their chapter and only a few could escape their traitorous brothers. The Inquisition turned those who reached Terra inside out. Even while going through this horrid torture their faith in the Emperor was unshaken. Now the Emperor knew that this impossible news was true, that the inconceivable was at hand, marines fighting marines.
As the war was raging on, more chapters crossed over to HORUS, and consequential some of these marines chose for the Emperor. These Marines were kept under close guard and were subjected to numerous loyalty tests. Only a few marines were traitor spies and these were dealt with.
Hello Kitty Marines!
Hello Kitticus is a smaller power of chaos, when slaneesh emerged Hello Kitticus was a benevolent god, whom was sucked into the chaos Maelstrom and was changed forever. It ideals of cuteness was still there but now perverted. It looked on the Human empire with disdain, all these darkness and fear inspiring architecture, Hello Kitticus would bring cuteness and loveliness back to the imperium even if it would be destroy it in the process.
The bright cats space marine chapter would be the first to be converted. On the just liberated planet of Sanrio, Chapter commander Halokaton found a small cute statue, after the battle. He felt an unnatural attraction to this statue and secretly he took it with him as a spoil of war and hid it in his chamber. The following campaigns Hello Kitticus slowly corrupted the chapter commander, and Halo was converted to the ways of cuteness. He hid the idol at the chapter chapel and after him the chaplains were the first to convert. It was during the charmy campaign that the
whole chapter changed and showed its "true" color, dropping their former chapter colors the marines emerged in a multitude of bright colors. Hello Kitticus was pleased and gave the marines the gift of its face. The chapter now renamed to the hello kitty chapter, massacred their allies in a cute fashion, who fled in confusion and disarray because of the mental anguish caused by the intolerable cuteness level.
When the inquisition later came to investigate the planet, they were horrified to find joyfull happy people worshipping, idols of hello kitty, wearing cute clothes and accessories and had painted their cities in joyful colors, singing songs of praise for Hello Kitticus. The inquisition dealt accordingly with this heresy of worshipping a false god and ordered Exterminatus.
But the Hello Kitty Chapter already had left for another planet to show the cute ways of Hello Kitticus
When the final confrontation was about to start, the battle at HORUS rebel command centre. The Loyal "defected" marines were also teleported in. The bitter hatred and ferocity with which they fought their former mutated battle brothers surprised the other loyal marines. Where other marines screamed in agony because of the horrors they had seen, these "defected" marines fought in almost in a berserker rage. They fought hard but never reached Horus. But they managed to keep the chaos renegades at bay. So the Emperor could fight HORUS without being interrupted by traitor marines. The fight between the Emperor and HORUS was grim but in the end the Emperor was victorious. Of the loyal "defected " marines only a few were slain. The Emperor, now in his golden throne because of his injuries was still conscious, redirected the organisation of the space marine chapters. The emperor had sensed the DOOM BRINGERS Immunity against Chaos, so their task was clear, they would become a chapter specialised in hunting these traitor marines down, directly under the Emperors Command.
In the early years the inquisition closely watched the marines. It became clear that this chapter is the most loyal chapter to the Emperor. The only setback is their distrust to the other chapters. And because they are directly under the emperors command their dealings with the high lords of Terra and the inquisition are strained. And so the DOOM BRINGERS chapter was born.
Because the chapter was not involved in the reorganisation of the other chapters their organisation has not the limitation that other chapters have. For example the DOOM BRINGERS currently consists of about 570 thousand marines, have their own space fleet, Titan Legion, weapon factory and are thus totally self sufficient.
The Doom Bringers extreme hatred against chaos renegades. Has left them with animosity against almost all other chapters with a few exceptions. So you have to take animosity tests (rules stated elsewhere) whenever you fight with other chapters. One exception is the Dark Angels chapter. The Doom Bringers cannot fight alongside them (The Doom Bringers have once captured some of the Fallen, so they know the truth of the treachery of the Dark Angels during the Horus Heresy) they see them as traitors and will attack them on sight. Because Doom Bringers Hate Chaos Renegades use the rules for hatred, the Doom Bringers can make a ld. test to restrain themselves or choose to forego the test and attack them.
Enlightened
Why the Second legion disappeared.(possible name the Enlightened?)
The Second Primarch was whisked away like his 19 other Brothers. But instead
of being send to a war torn planet, he was send to the planet Gautama, were
people followed the Buddhist believes. He was found by local Buddhist Monks,
Instantly noticing that this kid was special they names him Siddhartha,
after Buddha himself, He was taken to temple and trained in the Buddhist
teachings and the martial arts. He bested all comers with his martial
skill but he was known for his kindness and piety.
When The Emperor finally landed he did not find are hardened fighter but a
peacefull spiritual leader. I know why you have come father, i will try to
bring peace to this stricken universe. And During the great Crusade he was
several times criticised by the Emperor by not taken a planet by force. Most
of his planets were gained by peacetreaties and mutual pacts even with
Aliens! (most of these planets were taken back forcefully after the Horus
Heresy and the Xenos filth was eradicated). Siddhartha, became more and more
disenchanted with his Fathers ways, He thought he found in Horus someone
with the same convictions, But after Davin Horus Changed, And Siddhartha
knew That Horus lost his way. Siddhartha tried to reason With Horus, but
after almost a fight broke out between Abbadon and Siddhartha, Siddhartha
removed himself from the crusade, He sent a message to the emperor, but the
Chaos powers made sure that message reached the emperor all Garbled up. The
Only thing the Emperor and His staff could make from it is that His Pacifist
Son and his chapter had gone rogue. Angry because of his son's treachery he
commanded that all records of Siddhartha chapter should be deleted from the
records. (the emperor did not know yet of Horus treachery and Siddhartha was
low on the emperors favourite son's list). He called for a strike on
Siddhartha's home world, but by the time the Army reached Gautama the
population was gone. Siddhartha and his fleet were allready on his way to
uncharted space.
Ideas for the army;
Dark Angel and certain Black Templar bodies would be perfect as Battle
Monks, Scouts would be more difficult as they need all to have shave head
and monk robes (eastern style). Close combat weapons could inspired by
ancient Indian weapons and/or Chinese budhist armies. Color would light
orange.
Rules?
Well there should be a dice roll for battle to determine if there is a fight
at all! so if the roll would succeed (for example on a 6) there would be
peacefull resolution resulting in a draw (Damn no battle :p) Furthermore
Siddhartha army w

Hm post got cut off
Rules?
Well there should be a dice roll for battle to determine if there is a fight
at all! so if the roll would succeed (for example on a 6) there would be
peacefull resolution resulting in a draw (Damn no battle :p) Furthermore
Siddhartha army will always go second as they only fight back when fired
upon.
Hello Kitty Marines!
Hello Kitticus is a smaller power of chaos, when slaneesh emerged Hello Kitticus was a benevolent god, whom was sucked into the chaos Maelstrom and was changed forever. It ideals of cuteness was still there but now perverted. It looked on the Human empire with disdain, all these darkness and fear inspiring architecture, Hello Kitticus would bring cuteness and loveliness back to the imperium even if it would be destroy it in the process.
The bright cats space marine chapter would be the first to be converted. On the just liberated planet of Sanrio, Chapter commander Halokaton found a small cute statue, after the battle. He felt an unnatural attraction to this statue and secretly he took it with him as a spoil of war and hid it in his chamber. The following campaigns Hello Kitticus slowly corrupted the chapter commander, and Halo was converted to the ways of cuteness. He hid the idol at the chapter chapel and after him the chaplains were the first to convert. It was during the charmy campaign that the
whole chapter changed and showed its "true" color, dropping their former chapter colors the marines emerged in a multitude of bright colors. Hello Kitticus was pleased and gave the marines the gift of its face. The chapter now renamed to the hello kitty chapter, massacred their allies in a cute fashion, who fled in confusion and disarray because of the mental anguish caused by the intolerable cuteness level.
When the inquisition later came to investigate the planet, they were horrified to find joyfull happy people worshipping, idols of hello kitty, wearing cute clothes and accessories and had painted their cities in joyful colors, singing songs of praise for Hello Kitticus. The inquisition dealt accordingly with this heresy of worshipping a false god and ordered Exterminatus.
But the Hello Kitty Chapter already had left for another planet to show the cute ways of Hello Kitticus

This is amazing. I love it. I like the helicopter in the other thread too, looks fantastic. I'm curious about the blimp, though - how do you play that?

Give me a bit and I'll have a mockup of rules for a Great Knarloc with a gun that isn't an embarassment to Krootkind.

Hawkeye could be an IG special weapon sniper, or a vindicare assasin (although that might be a bit expensive)
Don't forget spiderman! I've always been fond of Scion rules for Spidey!
Vanguard Vet is perfect
Yeah a Vindicare is probably a little OP. I thought Culexus for Black Widow, but definitely OP. IG sniper is perfect as he's noticeably squishier than the rest
