Ironclad Dreadnought

Most popular usually means boring.

Go with a rarely seen chapter, or make up your own.

I would do something like the Excoriators. Imperial Fist Successors, protagonists in the book "Legion of the Damned". Their armor is described as being a dirty Ivory color/Dun color because of all the battle damage. They repair the battle damage but don't repaint it . They notate where the damage was sustained as a mark of honor. I think a Dread done up like that would be massively cool.

Salamanders or Imperial Fists would be great, though I think it boils down to what colours you prefer. Go with your eyes

Original Minotaurs' scheme.

Bound to impress judges.

If it's for a competition then do what you're good at

Iron hands could be fluffy, It takes a good painter to make black armour look interesting. Pull it off and it could be awesome.

Nice airbrush work and weathering. Not ott either which is a plus, the heat stain on the bolsters is cool too.
