One of the projects is an all female space marine army - "The Daughters of Helena". They are from a batch of gene seed saved by rogue Terran/Earth based Adeptus Mechanicus, who travel to a remote part of the imperium and from female orphans, and later with the support of the the newly formed Adeptus Sosoritus forces, they build a sizable force of Female space Marines on their Adeptus Mechanicus run planet.
Thir Primarch was killed after a love tryst between the other lost Primarch and Guilliman. If I need to I can have them hatred - male space marines (including chaos space marines), but this can be ignored if it is deemed too powerful. I have quite a few miniatures for this project, purchased through Shapeways. There is a store on there which does female space warriors in powered armour. It is all made using 3D plastic making technology. I was thinking of using the Gorgon (Medusa) symbol for them.
With this back ground story, I can have the local Planetary Guard, the local Sisters of Battle, and even an Adeptus Mechanicus force allied to them.
Adeptus Mechanicus is another project I want to start collecting later on. The other project I am planning on building is based on the counts as theme using the Grey Knights codex.
My idea is this: a Dark or Grey Sensei (fallen to Chaos Sensei) has made a deal with both Fabius Bile (or one of his clones), and a depleted company of Word Bearers Marines. The Word Bearers geneseed is mixed with the Sensei's gene coding, and the result is space marine with the powers of a Grey Knight. After numerous raids on shipping close to the Eye of Terror, they attack and plunder a Grey Knights ship, killing, but not corrupting any of the Grey Knights. The allied Dark Mechanicus reverse engineer the Grey Knight technology, and create force weapons, Dread Knights, etc. The Sensei provides a few litres of his blood every couple of weeks, and from that they make Psycannon ammo.
The unit will be painted in a dual colour scheme. Slate Grey of the original Word Bearers with a burning book down one side, and Dark red with a burning daemons head as used by the current Word Bearers on the other half. I can use grey Knights and cut off and fill in the vile imperialistic iconography and replace it with daemonic hieroglyphics.
I will probably call them "The Bearers of the True Faith".
I always corrupt my armies towards Chaos or against the Imperium.
