marine blues

Just got an assorted lot of plastic RT marines, and mixed in with them is a quartet of marines in pale blue.

They are painted entirely pale blue, with white drybrushing. Eyes are red and the studs on the left shoulder are white. Right shoulder has no insignia. The basic blue appears to be a match with Vallejo Azur Blue.

One has a powerfist, the others a single bolt pistol.

I rather like these guys, so as a bit of fun, and to stir up the creative juices:-

Can anyone suggest what Chapter these guys might be from? Can't think of any established chapters that use pale blue. Any suggestions for a good name.

May be these guys aren't marines but some other power armoured fighter. May be they are renegades or renegade marines?

Any ideas?

Although the name does remind me of the chapter portrayed in "Turn Signals of a Land Raider: http://tsoalr.com/?p=1

Well done-although my guys look nothing like this (the Emperor's Spears look a lot like ultramarines)

I'm beginning to think they look rather like a covert unit on some frozen methane or ice planet -although covert and wearing Mk6 marine armour is rather contradictory!

I've finished sorting out the mold lines and repainting them, so will put up some photos once I get around to setting up for photography again -but too busy painting figures to photograph them at the moment.
