Greetings Fraters of the B&C. Here are some pics of the army I'm currently painting up and I apologize for the picture overload, but this is my first time. Be gentle. My Chapter is a Successor from the Dark Angels/Angels of Vengeance. Most of my army is undergoing repainting to get it in line with the color scheme I have revised for my units (New scheme posted): Battle Companies: Normal marine: Vet. Sergeant (can be a Deathwalker Candidate or a former Deathwalker): or Company Vets: Command squads (majority will be former Deathwalkers, one or two may be Candidates that are about to be inducted into the 1st Company) & Company Master: 2nd Company - Boneseekers Normal biker (generally considered "more" veteran): Boneseekers Veterans (similar to the Company Veterans idea - I'm hoping there is a new 2nd Company Vets squad in a new Codex): Vet. Sergeant (will all be Deathwalker Candidates or returning Deathwalkers): or Command squads (per Battle companies) & Master of the 2nd (this will probably be a little more unique than this in some way, but look very similar): 1st Company - Deathwalkers Normal Termie: Sergeant, Command Squad (will look the same, but with a red helm stripe) Master of the 1st (trying to come up with something slightly more unique for him) Current Army Shot (minus WIP Landspeeder): The horde cometh: Predator: Dreadnought: With Missile Launcher replacing DCCW: We don't talk about the poor lone Assault Marine. His greaves and chainsword are still the wrong color and none of his compatriots have had any love (they are all still waiting to be repainted).

So as I said in my Drakeslayers thread, while I had stalled out on paint work, I developed a name generator for my Wolves in the vein of GW's, but I find those a little lacking (36 names vs. the 216 I included in mine, without counting the variations in choice) - and I wanted to share it here, in case anyone else might find it useful. The way the first part (given name) works is thus - the number code is the result of three d6s in a row (I personally tend to roll three different colored dice at once and review the three results to see which name seems to fit better). This is separated from the name by the first dash. In the name, you will find a group of letters surrounded by parentheses and separated by forward slashes - these represent choices for the given name, and the resulting name will still have the same meaning, just with different spellings. If the group is in bold, then it is a mandatory choice - leaving it out would alter the name or make the name meaningless; if the group is in italics, then the choice is optional, even as a single letter - leaving it off will not change the meaning. Finally, after the second dash, is the meaning (or approximate) as best that I could find from many sources I worked from (both physical texts and Internet), but I will admit that there are some (to many) that could be off. I typically kept to Old Norse names, but there are a few of Scottish, Irish, Old German, or even made up origins included. 1,1,1 - Ake - ancestor 1,1,2 - Aart - powerful as an eagle, eagle-like 1,1,3 - A(d/dd/th)elmar - noble strength/character 1,1,4 - A(d/dd/th)elram - dark and noble 1,1,5 - Aegir - water giant 1,1,6 - Aesir - god 1,2,1 - (A/Ö)gmund(r/ur) awe or terror/edge or sword-warded/protected 1,2,2 - Agnarr - awe or terror/edge or sword-warrior 1,2,3 - Alari(c/ch/k) - emperor/king of all/all-powerful ruler 1,2,4 - Albrecht - noble and bright 1,2,5 - Al(d)ri(c/ch/k) - wise sage/noble ruler 1,2,6 - Alois/Hlödvig - loud/famous fight/battle/warrior 1,3,1 - Alfhar - elf warrior 1,3,2 - Alvar/Alvge(i/y)r( r) - elf spear 1,3,3 - Anders - manly, brave, strong 1,3,4 - A(n)sg(a/ei)r( r) - god-spear 1,3,5 - Arjac - meaning unknown 1,3,6 - Arlen - vow/oath/pledge 1,4,1 - Arn(e) - eagle 1,4,2 - Asvald( r) - divine ruler/might/power 1,4,3 - Atli - Terrible, violent, wild 1,4,4 - Audun - friend of wealth 1,4,5 - Aun - possibly shortened name meaning ‘friendly destiny’ 1,4,6 - Avang(r/er) - meaning unknown 1,5,1 - Bald(e/u)r - prince/god-son/light-bearer 1,5,2 - Barend - as brave as a bear 1,5,3 - Beoric - bright power 1,5,4 - Bertram - bright as a raven 1,5,5 - B(e/i/y)r(g/gh)(e/i/y)r - one who helps or protects/keeper 1,5,6 - Bj(o/ö)rn - bear 1,6,1 - Bj(o/ö)rnst(e/ei/y)n - stone bear or bear-stone 1,6,2 - Bodvar - battle-army 1,6,3 - Borgen - from a fort town, castle 1,6,4 - Bran - raven 1,6,5 - Bran(d/t/dt)( r) - sword/fIre/torch/burning log or pole 1,6,6 - Brynjar - armored/helmed warrior 2,1,1 - Brynulf - armored/mailed wolf 2,1,2 - Calder - harsh and cold waters 2,1,3 - Canis - dog 2,1,4 - Cord - bold/wise counselor 2,1,5 - Dag - day 2,1,6 - Dagrún - day-secret/lore 2,2,1 - Dol(f/ph) - noble wolf 2,2,2 - Drekken - dragon/drake 2,2,3 - Dren(n) - meaning unknown 2,2,4 - (Dur/T(h)or)fast - firm/strong thunder 2,2,5 - Dvordin - meaning unknown;
