What spacemarine chapter would be included in Exterminatus? The current choice is kinda leaning towards Ultramarines, but that maybe will change.
Let us discuss the pros and cons of choosing a specific chapter.

I suggest Crimson Fists, a successor chapter of Imperial Fists. They share the same ideology and geneseed, but wear cooler colours. The Crimson Fists do not have any rules next to the Spacemarine Codex, making them fairly good recognizable by everyone. The only downside is that they are rather unknown, and do not have any known special characters. This has a good side too, since fluff can be created for Crimson Fists. There are not too many battles noted for them, so maps can be created just like that, out of the blue.

I guess we should stick to chapters that are known to fight Tyrannids.
I don't know enough about SM chapters to list them myself, please someone do it?

this is a 40k mod, we dont need to follow fluff perfectly, stop thinking about which people are meant to do what, think about what is interesting and looks good, i like the diea of crimson fists, they are a good color scheme, they are not that unknown

Here's a link to the gallery of space marine chapters http://uk.games-workshop.com/spacemarines/chapter%2Dgallery/1/

Crimson Fists are better known for their Ork killing than Tyranid fighting.  That's not much of a big deal IMHO.  

I've planned EX in such a way that chapter skin pack will be easy to make.

crimson fists sound good but if your looking for a chapter that fights nids alot i say ultra marines because they have that special unit the tyranid hunters.

It's just worth bearing in mind our tyranids will probably be of the black with red scales variety.

Then go for Salamanders. They are green.

It was partly meant a a joke.
The greatest problem is that the iconography of the Salamanders displays lizards, beasts and fish. Just like the Tyrranids looks like lizards, beasts and fishies, so it would look like they are connected to the Tyranids?  :?
