At the moment i'm in the process of creating my own space marine chapter, i've thought of everything but the colour scheme, they're an Imperial Fists successor chapter but i would prefer not to use a yellow scheme, i might consider it if its good, i also like the Astral Claws colour scheme.
Any help would be appreciated and if you've got pictures of your own feel free to post them.

I could post more of the fluff i've written if it helps.

Do they have a name and/or symbol? Go ahead, post the fluff, it can't hurt.

Oh, and good choice of a parent chapter!

**EmpNortonII**

Zandri dust and moot green

Thanks i haven't thought of a symbol yet but their name starts with the Word 'Repentant' mainly because they they feel regret over how they lost 2 whole companies in a night lords ambush and they feel that they let down the Imperium when they were defeated, i was gonna go with 'Repentant Fists' or something but that's kind of a cliched Imperial Fists thing, when i find the fluff i'll post it.

I gave a paint scheme a try. What do you think?

**daedalus**

I think your link got mangled. All I see is a blank white page.

Ooh, unless you were going for white on white on white on white with a snow basing!

The link worked for me and i think that's a really good obscure colour scheme that i might use.

**Throt**

So they changed their name after the attack then?

I was unable to see the color scheme that was posted by DxM so I apologize if by chance this is the same idea...
All in all it depends on complexities that you want in your paint scheme. Being a successor chapter I would follow most of the organization and markings.
How about the suggestion for color....purple.
Purple is the color of penance.
Maybe go with a very deep purple and keep the yellow shoulder pad of the imperial fists.

Yeah they changed their name afterwards, from what i remember DxM's was bronze with i believe purple upper legs and gauntlets, your colour scheme sounds good and good thinking for the purple.
