I think desciples is the correct spelling, although I could be wrong. Disciples would be a better name as well, you could work in lots or religious imagery and names (even more than the marines have already)

Think you were looking for Disciples :) and that's what I'd go for. Like TGSC said, that gives them more of the overly zealous and religious behaviour of purging the heretics than normal :)

Maybe Grey Knights as somewhere to take occasional parts from, but I think they'd probably be too unique to pull off using them as a base while trying to be a normal Adeptus Astartes chapter. Keith Robertson's "Sons of Orar" (back of UK White Dwarf 306 - June issue) are a good example of what I think might work - the Veteran Sergeant has more of a medieval helmet visor head (possibly from the Emperor's Champion). Little details like that might work, but the Grey Knights just have to be that bit more distinct from normal chapters.

Alright.I have concluded to Emperor's disciples.About the Grey Knights idea...
perhaps I can use them instead of a veteran sergeant model or somethong like that-not as base because then I won't be playing SM but Daemonhunters!
However Grey Knights for Veterans is a very good idea....and promissing.Thanks omegoku-that helped.

The odd one added in as a Veteran might work, just as long as the rest of your squad don't seem to have too much new armour compared to him.

Good choice on the name though :D

I think switching the words may be an option as far as the name aspect is concerned.

say

Disciples Of the Emperor

or

Vitae Emperatus

My two cents.

Also using the Grey Knights power armour, I assume not terminator, for veteran sarg is very cool. Will give them a very elite appearance. Good luck on this.

I'm gonna needed considering that I haven't done any conversions before except some really small-for example when the track lines of my rhino didn't get into the correct place but I've managed to fix it...or at least partially...uh...

Anyway what's Vitae Emperatus means?[I ask forgiveness for my english once more.]

Blood of the Emperor or Emperors Blood depending on interpretation.

Are you sure? Dictionary.com had the following results for vitae:

1. A curriculum vitae.
2. A short account of a person's life.

Nothing to do with blood...

Vitae is Latin for life. Sanguine means blood in Latin
