Well here is an idea(s) for a new chapter i am making i hope to create.
Suggestions for names, fluff,etc is welcome. also, how would you make capes/loin cloths for them?

Green stuff for all your sculpting needs though cloaks and loin cloths can be difficult if you've never used it before, a cape comes in the Commander Box and tabbards and robes can be gotten in the BT and DA boxes.

Name and fluff should really be your creation, look around for DIY Chapters, particularly the B&C has a whole board dedicated to DIY Chapters, GW and many forums have a list of names and chapter schemes, a stickied thread right here has tons of Chapters to choose from and there are plenty of Chapter Name generators around.

Zim's Invaders. The Chapter Master is chosen by finding the Space Marine that's the tallest.

If you want help on that, just give me a brief outline of what kind of thing you want and I'm happy to come up with something, or if you have something that doesn't quite work I'll tweak it so it does but keeps your initial idea - that's somewhat of a speciality of mine.

Yes, yes... very humble indeed [/sarcasm]

Anywhoo, it's hard to have any suggestions for a chapter with nothing but a color scheme to work off of. Are you looking at any specific tactics? do you have any ideas for their general temperment (pious, zealus, gung-ho, etc.)?

Those are generally good places to start, and base the visual details and iconogroaphy off of those things as these are what most effect a chapter's heraldry and nomenclature.

Example:
Mysterious warriors, very pious, exell at covert warfare (in a more general sense) and intelligence.
You get Dark Angels, a fitting name with religio-gothic heraldry and badd-@$$ robe-tabard things.

Example2:
Ferocious warriors with a sense of duty and brotherhood. Specialise in close combat.
You get Space Wolves, with norse iconography in keeping with strong battle-brother bonds, also in keeping with a wolf pack mentality.

I never said it was. It's just something I'm good at, that's all.

i think zims invaders is a good idea, named after their chapter master zim, the tallests spacemarine yet. they focus on fast-moving squads, employing lots of tranports and drop pods. hows that?

[Circus Freak]

It was a silly idea, but if you like it...

[Boneguard]

Extra silliness You could have your guy write this everywhere:

Zim was here, but now he's gone;
he left his name to turn you on.

It was in an Old AD&D 2nd ede campaign I was in our thief (Named Zim) kept writting this everywhere.

But silliness aside, a fast moving, hit and run Marine chapter could be interesting. Maybe focus also a lot on Jump infantry.

[taugundrone]

yeah.. so ill use as many asult sqauds as possible and every thing that not already really fast will have a transport. does anyone now the max Troops/HQ/Elites/Heavy ratio? also, none of them will have back packs if possible, even if they don't have a cape.

anyhoo, there will be little sillyness, just that its named after Invader Zim and take elelments from it.

all in all, the chapter,s tactics is: Large, fast moving squads with lots of transports, supported by a few, powerful but slow stuff.
