If you stick with the camo pattern armour, the army could look really good if you pull it off. As for a name, you could name it after a predator that uses camouflage, like a tiger or most lizards. Or something in mythology that avoids being seen. Or for some interesting background, handpicked from cadians deemed to be too good for standard guard duty, they become 'Stalkers of Cadia' or something along those lines.

Just realised, those are catachan heads, not cadians. Catachans are the jungle fighters or Rambos as i used to call em, and the cadians are the starship trooper look alikes. Just thought you should know before you search for cadian colour schemes lol

Yeah, not to worry - it's a Cadian style colour scheme that I'm after, so primarily Catachan Green with Kommando Khaki stripes I'm thinking. My first experiment went OK, but I wasn't happy with the stripe pattern so I'm resorting to the Dettol treatment before having another go on my test model.

Very cool, looking forward to seeing them painted up!
I have had a custom Chapter knocking around (mainly in my head...) for a few years now; The Sons of Saurus. Basically a bike heavy SM army, but using Cold Ones instead of Bikes. I put together a couple of test models and wrote a few pages of background for them, but I've neglected them since we moved house (in 2007, so that excuse is wearing thin!). Colour scheme is something I can't settle on - green is the obvious choice, but as an Ork painter I think that would finally tip me over the edge!
