Fine, Im still not a huge fan of altering establish fiction, but, I'd recommend changing your story just a bit. Space marines do not have the ability to build their own vehicles, the can repair and modify, but ultimately it is the mechanicus who has the STC templates needed for construction. But, as you said, maybe they ambushed a mechanicus supply ship destined for a new chapter and got some intact ships and dread. Also, if you've read the books, do not forget that they also favor close combat, so at least some of your troops should eventually be close combat guys. To be frank I'm a puritan when out comes to fiction and I (based on all four novels) wouldn't ever field a Soul Drinkers army with armor.

Oh dont worry Wayne, we all remember your growing pains of 1k Sons and trying to make them both fluffy/practical.

I am sorta with Wayne on this one. If you are gonna follow canon and claim to be a proper chapter, do it properly IMO. I don't get why you have to be Soul Drinkers if you actually aren't Soul Drinkers in any respect. It's not a knock on you or anything, it's your army, but just saying.

And in addition, don't be contained by fluff if you don't wanna. It's not like you are saying SERGEANT SO AND SO ATTACKS! You're basically going "This squad shoots at the orks over there".

Hey now, in some of the older wolf fluff they do build on Fenris. No where near a forge world but arms, parts, open STC things like rhino's etc. Not to sure about the new fluff but it has been noted that wolves (via the teachings of Russ) are as self supported as they can be. But I do agree that to stray to far from the fluff is less fun in my eyes. But hell Jacob is new to the game let him do what he wants! Don't spoil the fun.

If i change my army I'll be going grey knights and not because there OP though I would prolly end up playing the OP lists cuz hey why not I just like them. I'm not going to strip these guys i have painted and start over because that's 45 dollars of spray paint I'll have wasted. I'm going to call them soul drinkers because the name is cool the fact that they are heretics is cool and the colors are cool. I've only been playing for two months now and I'm sorry i didn't go out and buy ever book about everything and know all the little details about the warhammer worlds and what have you.
IMO anyone who repairs and refits anything for long enough will have enough knowledge to build one.

But seeing as everyone want me to change because its a bad thing to stray from fluff. I'm going to paint them Green with a red-pink color and call them water melon heads.
