ok, an intro to my custom chapter first: Chapter Name- Storm Gryphons Custom Chapter Weapon- Kinetica Pistol/Kinetica Rifle (a boltpistol that fires plasma infused bullets, if a shot hits and wounds, it cant be save under ANY circumstances) pistol fires 1 shot, army has 3, rifle fires 2, army has 1 in a devastator squad
so thats the army info, but instead of bikes, i used wolf riders, a full conversion: http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7917/img2434nv8.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/2154/img2433jf1.jpg http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/2466/img2437sd3.jpg they will become a pair of 5-man squads, all painted in the gold/black power armour of my army. i will add another kinetica pistol to one of them (i have 11 wolves, so in battles where the kinetica's arn't allowed, i would swop them over)
PS. sorry about the blurred photos, the camera isnt amazing without flash (and flash washed them out, so i couldnt use it)

ok, i wasnt clear before:
i wanted a custom gryphon, i wanted it to be completely unique. so i greenstuffed and used other gear to construct it. it failed, so im now building it almost purely from modelling clay kinda stuff (its not clay though, but it looks like it) around a really cool (almost skeletal looking) wire frame.
the kinetica's dont fire from the eyes, it is a gun (i thought a new chapter should have a cool new weapon)
the wolves arnt bikes, they are a replacement as my army doesnt use bikes, they are pretty much marines that can move 12" (hence that they dont have twinlinked bolters)
i have been working on both a webiste and badge for them, when i publish the site i will post a link so that you can all see it, the site team has been working on comic strips and conversion guides for the site.
i built the wolves without any custom stuff added (no pipes and stuff) to see what they would look like, i have, after reading your criticism, decided to green and glue some metal plates, etc to the wolves, i hav so far added metal to 1 wolf and a bionic eye to another.

I kind of agree with Kento here. Wolves and gryphons (Lion-eagle things) are rather different. Having wolves featured would require a change of name, and making that gryphon you're working on into some super wolf thing.
Blood Angels are all about the blood and, the rage, and their Primarch, with the angel wings. Space Wolves come from a wolfy place and travel in the cosmos. Ultramarines are Marines, they're ultra, and they're ultramarine in colour. Storm Gryphons ride wolves, and are painted similarly to the primary legion of the enemy...
It's just not working for me. I don't really feel it. Also, having the wolves as Marines that move 12" without the bolters would be more of an assault Marine than a biker.
The kinetika is a bad idea. Who would really want to play against you? "Yeah mate, if I hit, you die, no saves allowed, and I hit on a 3+." "Sounds great! When can we start?"
Seeing as you've done the wolves already, it's probably be easier to just change the name and stop the gryphon, or keep the name and stop the wolves. It's all too muddled.
