Montuhotep Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 'In all things take the scorpion as your guide, brothers. Strike with surprise and without warning, seize your enemy and crush him without pity, then deliver the Emperor's judgement as a scorpion does it's sting - quickly, mercilessly, finally. Then and only then will you truly understand the ways of war.' Captain Martinious, Scorpio Fatalis, addressing his warriors prior to the assault on the Kalamis Citadel, M38.342. Well, you might like to use it. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149920-steel-scorpion-chapter-needs-a-new-name-help/page/4/#findComment-1745285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XKhalilX Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 sweeeet, I shall guard the brothers well in faith and in action :P I love the way the armor scheme comes out for you. You, Trajan and mithrilforge paint your metal armor so well, I am still struggling but I will hopefully get better. I can't wait to see some expanded fluff in the DIY liber astartes ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/149920-steel-scorpion-chapter-needs-a-new-name-help/page/4/#findComment-1745548 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be26 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I appear to be a bit too late, particularly because my suggestion was also going to be "the Sting", but you've got two sets of siege specialists - the 4th and the 7th companies are both dedicated to it. For what it's now worth, the idea I was going with was the Sting being a company dedicated to stealth, subtlety (that's not deleted by the Inquisition? I was so sure it was a dirty word in this universe) and the concept of a single strike - like a scorpion only needs to sting an enemy once and let the poison do it's job, the Sting's modus operandi involves liberal use of sniper rifles, silenced weapons and properly-placed teleport homers to bring down an assload of Terminators or Vanguard Vets. If they've done their job properly, the fight should be less a battle and more a massacre. But, yeah.

I'm quite well aware of why this thread was made, but honestly? au shalalala or whatever his name is hasn't posted on these boards since he threw up his 2 steel scorpion pics, he never said "omg guyz dunt steel my chapta! original characterz!!!!" seriously, screw him keep the steel scorpions going angels_blade.

Kurgan the Lurker Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 he never said "omg guyz dunt steel my chapta! original characterz!!!!" seriously, screw him keep the steel scorpions going angels_blade. Comments like this do not further this discussion, so drop it. You guys want to suggest a new name or suggest keeping the name that is fine. If instead you are going to slag off on another poster -- who is within his rights to complain about seeing his Chapter co-opted and changed (A_B did alter the fluff if I understand the issue correctly) -- then don't bother posting in the thread.

Scar Weaver Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Damn, now I have to change the name of my DA to something because I was inspired by the DA codex.

Dark Sensei Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hmmm maybe could you consider that "Iron Scorpion" or another could just be a familiar name given by those who know the chapter well (kinda like "the sons of Fenris" when talking about the pups) and grant the chapter a more misterious namenz like "Orion's bane" or the like... (A little dive in scorpion's myth could help at that point 8)) You could even give the name (title) of Anthares to the chapter temporal leader... Btw, its kinda funny to learn that the biggest scorpion alive is called "Pandinius Imperator"... To me, association of scorpion and iron leads to the small but fast VZ61. Finding names is quite a tough job, GL frater ! DS NB : Talkin about painting, I finally think that painting your weapons ina different colour could bring much to the stern look of the minis (thinking about a "cold" red like scab red with a hint of catachan and lighten with adding little commando khaki)... just an idea but if the red isn't too warm, it'll add without distracting from the rest of the mini.
