32nd Millenium Campaign Armies

We decided to do a throw-back campaign of Warhammer 40k using the Fourth Edition rules. Since our space marines are all Horus Heresy now, we decided something set just after the Heresy and long before the 41st millennium would be appropriate for the look of the armor. Technically, it will be a little early for the Tyranids, so we will have to bend the lore a bit to say the first hive fleet actually arrived in the galaxy earlier than later chroniclers realized. It seems the official records were stored away in large warehouse in a Raiders of the Lost Ark style...

Here is a first stab at some army lists that we can make with our currently painted collections and a manageable amount of additional painting before the campaign.
