Yeah I'm Having Trouble...

So continuing on my current idea to do an Artscale Army counting the upscaled marines as terminators, I have actually made a surprising find about  using an actual Deathwing Army:
(mad props if you understand this)
The problem now is i have to decide on both a color scheme AND an primary codex. I've narrowed both down to two: (note all these lists are 1750)
Alpha Legion:
Dark Angels Army List:
Belial 130pts

Elites
Scout Squad w/4x Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher 120pts
Scout Squad w/4x Sniper Rifles, Missile Launcher 120pts

Troops
Deathwing Squad w/Cyclone Missile Launcher, 4x Thunderhammer/Storm Shield,
1x Chainfist 240pts
Deathwing Squad w/Cyclone Missile Launcher, 4x Thunderhammer/Storm Shield,
1x Chainfist, Apothecary 270pts
Deathwing Squad w/CML, 1x TH/SS 235pts
Deathwing Squad w/CML, 1x TH/SS 235pts
Deathwing Squad w/CML, 1x TH/SS 235pts

Fast Attack
Land Speeder w/Typhoon Launcher 75pts
Land Speeder w/Typhoon Launcher 75pts 

Space Wolves Army List:
Logan Grimnar 275pts

Rune Priest w/Terminator Armor, Chooser of the Slain 130pts

Elites
Wolf Scouts x5 w/Meltagun, Meltabombs 110pts
Wolf Scouts x5 w/Meltagun, Meltabombs 110pts

Troops
Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, CML, Powerfist, Wolf Claw x2 215pts
Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, CML, Powerfist, Wolf Claw x2 215pts
Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, CML, Powerfist, Wolf Claw x2 215pts
Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, CML, Powerfist, Wolf Claw x2 215pts
Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, CML, Powerfist, Wolf Claw x2 215pts 
(two models in each squad have a single WC)

Dark Angels Army is more shooty, durable, and I think more competitive, whereas the Space Wolves give a bit more fluffy with fewer Powerfists and Storm Shields.

Word Bearers:
Dark Angels:
HQ
Belial w/Lightning Claws 130pts

Elites
Deathwing Terminators w/H. Flamer, 4x Thunderhammer/Storm Shield, Apothacary 250pts

Dreadnought w/TL Autocannon 125pts x2

Techmarine w/ 4x Servitor w/Multi-Melta 175pts 

Troops
Deathwing Terminators w/ CML, Thunderhammer/Storm Shield 235pts x2
Deathwing Terminators w/ CML, 3x Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield 235pts x2
Space Wolves:
Logan 275pts

Rune Priest w/Terminator Armor, Chooser Living Lightning, Tempest 135pts
Rune Priest w/Terminator Armor, Chooser, Meltabombs, LL, Hurricane 140pts

Lone wolf w/Terminator Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, 2x Wolves 105pts x2

Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, 3x Combi-Plasma, 1x Powerfist,
1x Wolf Claw, CML 225pts x2

Wolf Guard x5 w/Terminator Armor, 2x Powerfist, 3x Wolf Claw CML 230pts x2

Fast Attack
Wolf Pack x10 80pts

Kinda even between these two not sure well have to playtest them.

Conceivable any of these four lists could be applied to either legion. Some fit a bit better than others but i'm not sure. I really like the Alpha Legion colors but the Word Bearers fluff seem to sync up better. I'll get the first conversion done up tonight hopefully and we'll go from there.
