a friend of mine has an sm army painted like this and insists he came up with it himself but i swear i have seen it somewhere before, so i ask you good people of the 40k fluff forum to help me out on this one.
is there an sm chapter with that or similar colour scheme? or am i going slightly mad?

i don't remember an existing scheme identical to this.
but if in doubt,look at dazzo's collection of paint-schemes on B&C

maybe i am mad then

maybe too much black marines:
BlackTemplars,RavenGuard,ironHands,pre-heresyDA,LotD,deathwatch,black dragons,black consuls,and a lot of DIY-marines.

Its extremely reminiscent of a picture of a Scythes of the Emperor marine, except that it had yellow instead of white.

that might be it, ill look up the colour scheme

It is a little simmaler to the white panthers. Enough to make me look them up but their color scheme is mostly reversed.

scythes of the emperor use yellow in place of white. this is similar to a few but is indeed unique, all you need is a chapter symbol which is too and your set

damn
if that is unique i just lost a fiver

(edit)
i looked up the scythes of the emperors scheme and its deffinatly not them, nor the white panthers.
looks like i did loose a fiver then

Put big black Maltese crosses on 'em.....

jmurph BT have white shoulders black trim and the rest is black.
this guys had black shoulders white trim all over and several patches of white and red

Oh, sorry, I meant white Maltese crosses.

It would look totally different than Black Templars.... ;-)

white templars

It's very similar to the White Panthers, but it's not exact.

BYE

Its far from white panthers.

- Masters of protelus.
Colors= 1 MoP. 2 = OP's quested scheme

-exchange blue (1) with white (2),
-exchange white (1) with black (2),
- voila'

Looks a bit like the Mortifactors too.

so really it looks like loads of different ones but isnt actualy any?

It has some similarities with existing chapters but it is new.

Could be inspired by some of the posted chapters.

fair enough
ive already gave the owner of these marines the fiver i owed him for loosing the bet
