My original plan was do 2nd company shoulders, but I have seen 4th company and their green. I have to say that looks very good and should look great on field. I'm going to use the GW metal shoulders with raised markings.

I want to magnetize many figures, especially my termies and specialty weapons within tacticals. I want options for weapon switch-outs.

I have a digusting amount of figures. Battle company box + x3 squads of termies, scout bikers, x3 vindicators, extra 10man assault squad, x2 command squads, x2 squads of scouts, Marneus and his crew, enough heavy weapons to make 8 devastator squads (yes, 8).

Also, I''m going to bit order turrets and sponsons so I can swap out and make any variation of rhino tank (whirlwind, each razorback, each predator)

Why don't you do 4th and 9th company? If you have 8 Devastator Squads then youcn use the extra command squads, one for the 9th company. And the assault squad could be the ninth devastator squad. and then the second extra command squad could be the start for another devastator squad. All you'll need will be rhinos(if you want) and a combat squad for the final dev. squad. Then from their you can start working on all the other companies, 'til you have a full chapter!

With the sheer number of models you own, I suggest you simply build them with extra variations, and swap whole models rather than components.

Please consider my 2 company suggestion. You can still swap whole models in smaller Apocalypse games, but just imagine 2 full companies, one of them the 9th, standing next to each other.
If I had the funds it would be top on my list.

I have a 3rd company Ultramarine army. Full company except my devastators are 5 man and I just have one 5 man assault squad. This army includes 9 rhinos, 2 razorback, 1 predator, 2 vindicator, and 2 whirlwinds, kill team rhino (all original rhinos, not the hot new version)

What color of green is 4th company? The How to paint Space Marine book has a couple of pictures.

This company has 8 rhinos (new) and 3 vindicators

Been busy trimming mould lines. Glued bodies of 60 tactical, 20 dev, plus extra weapons and heavy weapons.

Pictures should be up this weekend.

Tremendous project. I'm a bit overwhelmed at sheer number of figs. 142+ power armor, 15 termies, 10 scouts, 12 rhino-based tanks, 3 land speeders.

It used to be a bright, highly-saturated green. But with the new Fluff, any green will do.
