Angels_Blade Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ok this is my official name my chapter time!! Formally Steel Scorpions and bearing an uncanny resemblence to them I've decided to go the whole hog and redo the whole fluff and Naming of the chapter. Right, a few basics. Must include Scorpion in the title. The paint scheme will not change. Feel free to leave lovely comments about how they look so I don't feel so sad about this renaming fiasco!! So the Army so far Chapter Master Laan Kaltan http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9290193.jpg Captain Herminius of the 4th company http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7280039.jpg Chaplain Livictus of the 4th company http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7140013.jpg 4th Company Command Squad http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7300045.jpg Tactical Squads http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9080166.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9080167.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P6290095.jpg http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P6290096.jpg Sternguard http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9010150.jpg Terminator Squad http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P6290091.jpg Ancient Horatius http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P7130012.jpg Ancient Lazarius http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P9180185.jpg Line Breaker Squadron http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o138/mustanguk/P8030131.jpg Sorry for the Heavy Pics It's open to you!

BrotherZaah Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Steel Claws? Iron Claws? Steel Venoms? Iron Venoms? Quicksilver Scorpids. You could always come up with a new creature that looks like a scorpion but isnt called that. And that they hunt them on their homeworld - like The Salamanders. Poor eg: Steel Lashtails. Maybe look up some latin surrounding scorpions. or look up the different species latin names? and see what shows up? My Personal fav: Silver Scorpions. Mainly because of the Alliteration Can be modified to: Argent Scorpions (Argent is Silver in latin, or is it argentum? hmmm) or use Scorpids.

Heru Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 steel scorpions is a cool name why the change? See the quoted below. This army was originally designed by Ah Shulah and he got very pissy with me for painting my own Steel Scorpion army. He's probably right so i'll have to call them something else like Stainless Steel Scorpions lol I've been advised to change the name of the chapter so i can do with as i wish My suggestions: 1. Scorpion Lords 2. Knights Scorpion 3. Scorpion Knights 4. Argent Scorpions 5. Scorpions Immortal 6. Scorpion Brotherhood 7. Scorpion Legion 8. Scorpion Warriors 9. Praetor Scorpius Names unsuitable due to already being in use: 1. Red Scorpions (Official GW Chapter) 2. Black Scorpions (see Liber Astartes) 3. Silver Scorpions (don't take the name I'm using on one of my own Chapters, please!!)

rezeki Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 you could just change the 'steel' aspect to a different silvery metal Silver Scorpians Iron Scorpians (as renn suggested) Iridium Scorpians (something a bit unusual) Platinum Scorpians i agree with the suggestion to go for another scorpian-based thing (pincer, sting) or something to do with metallic Solifugae (camel spiders, which are closer to scorpians than spiders) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149920-steel-scorpion-chapter-needs-a-new-name-help/#findComment-1741582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetor Scorpius If that is the reason for changing the name, don't. I'm assuming you got it from a IA article he posted, or a C&C thread he started? If so, then they're fair game. Did he requests that no one copy him? They're your models, you paid a dumpload of money for them by the looks of things and painted them beautifully. If he wanted them for himself, should he have really posted them on one of the leading 40k boards around? Not only that, but I, for one, would be well chuffed if someone thought my idea and colour scheme good enough to invest their time and money into. Think- enough people do them, they may well end up with cursory mentions in official canon it has happened before - see Imperial Harbingers, Pete Haines' chapter. At the very least I certainly wouldnt be bothered. I'm assuming you dont game in the same area, so the idea is quite unique. I'm considering my own Steel Scorpion army after my Imperial Fists. Though if you do rename them i'll probably follow your lead on the name. PM me any fluff/background ideas if you dont mind me joining the chapter.

Leonaides Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Star Scorpions? (though, admittly you might need to go paint a star on all your scorpions. Maybe just at the end of the tail?) But very nice work on those models, very nice indeed. If it'd been my chapter you chose to paint, I'd have taken one look and said - you go with it...

It's not like he slapped a formal copyright, IP or trademark on them. Tough crap. If that's the kind of thing he gets worked up and possessive over, then God help him, bluntly. However, that being said, Scorpion Guard has a nice ring to it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149920-steel-scorpion-chapter-needs-a-new-name-help/#findComment-1741690 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigJon Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I agree with the above. Do you gents play in the same shop? Do you even live in the same country? Then who cares? Paint them and name them as you wish. Having said that I do understand the desire of having a unique name. You could use the parts of a Scorpion like Steel or Iron Stingers Or since you have a very noble knight look/feel I like the name: Scorpion Knights BigJon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149920-steel-scorpion-chapter-needs-a-new-name-help/#findComment-1741704 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heru Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 If that is the reason for changing the name, don't. It's not the only reason, and this arguement has been gone over already. So leave it alone. Having said that I do understand the desire of having a unique name. This is the reason I suggested in PM the name change. So it would be entirely his Chapter, sure with an inspired Colourscheme, but with it's own fluff and it's own praise. His jewel in the shared Universe of the B+C. Unique to him.
