The Argonauts Space Marine Chapter.

The Argonauts Chapter were founded as a Primaris Chapter as part of the Ultima founding, from Ultramarines gene-stock with no mutations. 
They are a fleet based Chapter with 6 vessels - most damaged as the chapter is always questing. Searching for artefacts to support the survival of the Imperium of Mankind. Due to this the chapter is used to standing alone against many enemies and is under strength, continually moving about. 
The Argonauts have a hatred of Orks, who are regarded as barbaric destroyers of artefacts from the Golden Age of mankind in the sectors  the chapter have been operating in. The chapter has also run into issues with the Adeptus Mechanicus as their teams search for ancient technology, which had lead to exchanges of fire. 

The Veteran sergeant and intercessor from the 4th Squad. 


Intercessors with Auxiliary Grenade launcher and Auspex (again from the 4th squad)  
The sergeant and an intercessor of the 7th squad. 
7th squad intercessors - one with a stalker bolt rifle. 
The reivers of the 9th squad. 

So there is the very over powered (in teams of miniatures, rather than potency) Primaris Kill Team force. I have enjoyed painting this lot (in various sessions) - a now wish I had picked up some “Greek/Spartan” kit to really give them a proper Argonauts look ... in fact I am currently struggling against gaming “mission” creep, as another 3 intercessors could be used to make a couple of heavy weapons and a lieutenant ... and while I am at it I would want a couple of reivers so that all squads had 5 minis each - I could see a move to a small 40k force. 
Must fight the mission creep ....
