TANGERMARINES
I have a new chapter now. They're still orange. I'm still working on a name and symbol for them - the working title for the chapter is the TANGERMARINES. So far I have a few in 28mm that are half painted - hopefully I'll get to finishing them up and posting them here at some point. Ideally I'd like to field a Kill Team with options, and maybe a "battalion" detachment for 40K...
I do have a pile of them painted for Epic!
EPIC TANGERMARINES!

The entire force (so far!), currently organized for the recent edition of Warhammer 40,000 Apocalypse!
These were previously organized for Future War Commander - where an element is an element and the number of figures on each stand wasn't really important, so I wasn't really fussed about having the correct number of itty-bitty warriors on each stand. Consequently, a number of these elements have less than the basic number of models that should be on a stand - in these cases I assume that it represents the basic/minimum number that would be in a squad - for example, you can field Terminators in squads of five or ten, my stands have only three on each of them (because I only had a handful of them and I wanted more than just two squads (plus a few spares left over) and needed something I could use as a CO/HQ element - so I did four stands of three plus a smaller stand of just one - which would represent the HQ element.
Marine Vanguard Detachment
This was meant to be my overall command detachment (well... at least until I get a Supreme Command Detachment sorted out... ), but I've come to the realization that it is NOT a legit detachment. I have four Land Raiders in it as Transport for each of the Terminator squads... but those are actually classified as Heavy Support - not Dedicated Transports - and, as such, only two are allowed in a Vanguard Detachment.... The alternative - fielding it as a Spearhead Detachment also doesn't work as only two Elites are allowed in such a detachment...
I've also realized that, if we're assuming that each of these elements is a "Counts As" full-sized squad of FIVE Terminators... there is no room in the Land Raiders for the Captain... I'd need a fifth, just to ferry him around!
Feh! they're all MY toys, I can make up whatever rules I want, right?
HQ
Captain in Terminator Armour 7 PL
Elites
4x Terminator Squad (5) @11 = 44 PL
Heavy Support
4x Land Raider @13 = 52 PL
Total: 103 Power Level
Marine Battalion Detachment #1
HQ
Captain 5 PL
Troops
5x Space Marine Tactical Squad (5) @4 = 20 PL
Transports
5x Rhino @ 5 = 25 PL
Total: 50 Power Level
Marine Battalion Detachment #2
HQ
Captain 5 PL
Troops
5x Space Marine Tactical Squad (5) @4 = 20 PL
Transports
5x Rhino @ 5 = 25 PL
Total: 50 Power Level
Marine Outrider Detachment #1
HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7
Fast Attack
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25
Total: 32 Power Level
Marine Outrider Detachment #2
HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7
Fast Attack
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25
Total: 32 Power Level
Marine Outrider Detachment #3
HQ
Captain with Jump Pack 7
Fast Attack
4x Assault Squad with Jump Packs (5) @5 = 25
Total: 32 Power Level
Marine Spearhead Detachment #1
Heavy Support
4x Vindicator @9 with Siege Shield @10 = 38????
2x Whirlwind @ 6 =12
Total = 50 Power Level
Marine Spearhead Detachment #2
Heavy Support
4x Vindicator @9 with Siege Shield @10 = 38????
2x Whirlwind @ 6 =12
Total = 50 Power Level
This adds up to about 399 Power Level - exactly the same as my opposing Eldar Force (at the moment).
I have at least three or four more Battalion detachments worth of Tactical Marines to paint up. One of which I have enough Rhinos to mechanize - although I may not and instead use those rhinos to ferry around HQ elements for some of the other detachments... I also have five older pattern Land Raiders that I originally planned to use as transports for one of the Marine Battalions... but as I've recently realized - they're Heavy Support, not DEDICATED TRANSPORT - and as such, I shouldn't really HAVE that many in a Battalion or Vanguard Detachment.
I also have enough bikes to put together another Outrider detachment with those.
I also have a few Land Speeders... not sure if I have enough for a detachment of their own...?
I do have a PILE of drop pods. I could probably drop two of those Marine detachments directly into battle in drop pods! I could probably also do what same with all the Termites I have!
I also have a small force of Grey Knights. I never really ever thought I'd put together a force of Grey Knights. But I ended up getting a bag of dozen metal marines at a swap meet for $5!? (CAD!) When I got them home I realized they were Grey Knights and there was totally enough for a Kill Team in there... and that's all I meant to do with them... but then I realized there was enough extra gusy with an incinerators that if only I had a justice for them, I've have a Purgation Squad and a Strike Squad (the original Kill Team) and if I just picked up a Brotherhood Champion as a HQ element I could field them as a Patrol detachment along with my Imperial Guard or with an Inquisitor force... Then the next thing I know I was bidding on additional Strike squads (because, if I just had two more, I'd have a "Battalion" Detachment and so many more Command Points...).
Here's what I've got so far...
