To DA or Not to DA? That is my Question.

[jlong05]

OK. I am building a new DA army. I love the rules and the BA army I was planning I placed on hold for their rules anyway. So here is my question. I have coming to me via a Bartertown Trade a LR (Painted in Deathwing Colors) and Dread(Painted in DA Colors) and a full squad of 3ed Termies (Obviously painted in Deathwing Colors) which I will be rebasing on correct bases.

My question is whether I should build a pure DA army and continue the paint schemes, or go something different. I have a single marine painted ina nice color shifting paint that shifts from Gold to Magenta depending on the lighting and was wondering if I should continue that color scheme for my DA army and just make a successor Chapter. The new Codex says all the main specialty figures are still valid in a successor chapter. Just rename them. So what do you all think?
