Salamander's?

 

The linked page says Raptors, so derived from the Raven Guard Legion.

 

It's always interesting to see someone not do the obvious. In this case, we have the double twist - a Chapter with heavy use of the flame motif (and additional use of a reptile image) that isn't derived from the Salamanders Legion; and a Chapter derived from the Raven Guard Legion that doesn't appear to use the standard assault/reconnaissance concept.

 

The only "discrepancy" I see is the dark skin. The gene-seed of the Raven Guard Legion Successors is known to have a mutation/failure that typically results in pale skin. The lack of pale skin in the Fire Watch might be explained as revitalized gene-seed (perhaps they received an induction of gene-seed that didn't have the mutation/failure from stores, or perhaps some experimentation or mixture with other gene-seed "fixed" the problem - whatever rationale is used, if any, should probably be minimal to avoid over-rationalization).

 

Someone has put the Space Marine Painter to good use. :thumbsup:

 

My only concern is that the color scheme looks very busy. I can imagine it becoming a chore to paint on actual miniatures. Since I'm not painting them, though, that's not my problem; and if the OP enjoys painting them up, more power to him.

 

Please submit this Chapter to the Tabula Astartes and the 1,000 Chapter Gallery Project.
