The things I love most about space marines are juxtaposing their status as the preeminent warriors of mankind with being (i) insufferable self-important pricks, (ii) non-infantry commandos, and (iii) the hilarity of taking the codex TO&E literally. I couldn't find a sufficiently literalist chapter for my tastes, so I play:
Homebrew - Violet Avatars - Ultramarines
Raptors - Raven Guard
For pure Awesomeness, take a techmarine and The badad war character and laugh as your foes have to deal with 2+ cover saves (except for hell turkeys, I sucks against them)
Homebrew; Brotherhood of Fire, Successors of the Imperial Fists.
Really need to update their background, as I wrote it back in 2004. Not only has my ability to write quality prose improved dramatically, but my understanding of 40k and its related background has come on leaps and bounds. Most of what I wrote back then doesn't really make any sense now, but the essentials shall stay the same; early founding (before the cursed 13th founding), siege specialists, like an all or nothing approach to war and are very careful about dividing their force/strength, so will often only commit to theatres of war where at least a company strength force is required.
Always thinking 2 projects ahead of anything I've yet to finish

Imperial Fists (Main Force)
Blood Angels
Dark Angels (a few models + the Dark Vengeance)
They're all Post Heresy armies, I have plans to do most (if not all) of the Pre-Heresy Legions.
Space Wolves
I just built a small Blood Angel drop pod/dreadnaught army
I'm also building a pre Heresy army - it's probably going to be more Space Wolves though.
Visit my war gaming blog at: lookoutsir.blogspot.com
Blood Angels - @ 200 models Rogue Trader, Battle Company + extras. My 1st army
Dark Angels - @30 models Small vehicle based force, got them during 3rd.
Death Guard - @ 300 models Pre/Post Heresy, Loyalist/Traitors. Started during 4th.
If I had to start another force purely based on fluff, it would be the loyalist pre-heresy Thousand Sons. You just know their minis are going to be insane, and they were loyal - such a tragic tale.
