Dark Angels 5th Company Update

So I have decided that my goal with my 'Warhammer Obsession' from my last note will be to collect the entire 5th Company of Dark Angels. It's ambitious and I think it'll take me a fair while to accomplish, but it'd be really cool. If I can do it within a reasonable time frame (a year or so) then I might think about trying to collect the entire Dark Angels Chapter as an extremely long term goal.

5th Company is comprised of a Company Master, 6 Tactical Squads, 2 Assault Squads, 2 Devastator Squads, Dreadnoughts and Rhino's.

So far my 5th Company has -

Company Master Balthazar (HQ), Master of 5th Company, holder of the Keys of Correction and Seeker of the Truth.

Librarian Turmiel (HQ, from the Librarius, assigned to 5th)
Interrogator-Chaplain Seraphicus (HQ, from the Chaplaincy, assigned to 5th)

1st Tactical Squad: Raphael

2nd Tactical Squad: Vasari

Also I have the beginnings of 1st Company (1 squad of Deathwing) and 2nd Company (1 Ravenwing combat squad). I will be trying to score most of my models cheap off eBay and I'll be trying to run a few conversions to make my guys look a bit more unique than just the standard Space Marines. I have some bits coming to differentiate Sergeant Vasari even more from Raphael and my eyes are peeled for cheap Dreadnoughts and Rhino's as I'd really love to paint one.

Finally, I have decided to paint all the correct Company and Tactical markings on each squad... wish me luck. :s

Here are some WIP photos of 5th company so far:
