Thousand Sons Heresy style
Jump Pack by MAXMINI, Kopesh Sword by Kromlech, Marine by Forge World.
Another idea that I was toying with, pre Heresy Era Thousand Sons! The mini is based on a Mk IV Armour Black Templar, Scarabs are made of Greenstuff.
Space Wolves Heresy style
Something to oppose my Heresy Era Thousand Sons! The mini is based on a Mk VI Armour, aftermarket helmet and Mk II shoulder Pads by Forge World. Arms, Bolter and backpack are from the Rogue Trader Plastics...
Forge World Mk II armour and parts from the current SW sprue.

Right mini is a really old RT era Marine mini. Shoulder Pads from current SW box.
Leman Russ - Primarch of the Space Wolves
A mini similar in size and style as my Sanguinius mini below. The mini is sculpted (probably) by Scibor. I bought the minis quite cheap from a guy in Russia. IMO one of the best aftermarket Leman Russ sculpts! I used a Storm Bolter from the plastic SW Terminator box.

Blood Ravens
I played some DoW II recently. Enough to spark my interest in the Blood Ravens and paint some of the SM minis that gathered dust...
I even bought the overprized (but of very good quality) FW transfers for the chapter badge.
Since the Blood Raven have an unusual high amount of Psykers, the next minis to be painted was a Librarian. Again a very old (IMO now OOP) minis with a plastic Jumppack added.
Ultramarines
I am toying with the idea of a Heresy era Ultramarine army. The Marine below is my first test of a suitable colour scheme and look.
Blood Angel Primarch Sanguinius
Minis sculpted (probably) by Scibor. I bought the minis quite cheap on ebay. IMO one of the best aftermarket Sanguinius sculpts! Since I still do not like NMM I used good old fashioned gold and brown ink.

Ongoing Projects...
Here you will find occasionally some painted Space Marines. After selling my Space Wolves in 2002, it was always itching me to start Marines again. I am still not sure which chapter to choose, since GW pumped out 1000+ special rules and chapters... ;-) We’ll see.
I start with a Deathwatch Marine. Small conversion, the upper body is a Bike Marine, the rest just out of the box plastic (plus the DW shoulder pad). And of course his last xeno scum victim has to be on the base.
Black Templars
Nice background, nice rules and IMO nice colour scheme. I started with the Emperors Champion, after that just one Trooper to see how fast I can be.
