OK so my first project is a DIY chapter of Space Marines I came up with called the Storm Templars. Basically they're Imperial Fist successor (although their geneseed comes from Crimson Fists and Black Templar chapters). This boils down to a codex chapter that uses the Black Templar upgrade sprues. The chapter symbol is a white templar cross, and the primary colors are blue and white/grey. Using the marine painter over at
B&C, I came up with the following:

Tactical Marine, 4th Company, Second Squad

Tactical SGT, 4th Company, Second Squad
Well that's my starting point, I have some fluff ideas rolling around in my that I should put down (one of the reasons I started this blog), and once I find that camera I'll post some actual models.
