 You're asking for trouble with the livery though.  I always relied on an ink wash to clean up the winged skulls but you're kind of fucked with white.
Dark Angels ftw.

 Mind I've not painted the little space mans since they were made of metal, I daresay there's better paint and techniques now and the Griffons aren't the flex they once were.

 Oof.  Shit, you can't even drop the plastic ones in a bucket of acetone and decide you like a different chapter better can you.
I had about 3000pts worth each of DA, IG, and genestealers (tyranids were barely a thing, I had a few plastic warriors and a (the) carnifex), at the time that worked out pretty well for big games.  Guardsmen?  No, those are Brood Brothers today.
All off the back of this guy here looking cool.

 Obviously, I would never have thought to try it though.
