Some of the basing is done but I still have about 4 more to do. I tried to keep the bases as a simple tile theme to keep the whole look "clean" feeling. The reason for the spear is I can use it as a "count as" for a P.fist or just a power weapon, depending on the list I want to run. (plus the standard marine box does not come with a power weapon or power fist and I had none left in my bitz box except a partial power sword).The chapter badge normall goes on the left shoulder but when I looked at the terminaters and special characters they all have terminator honors or other add-ons to their left shoulder and their right one is bare so in order to keep everything somewhat uniform I chose to go with the right shoulder for the chapter symbol.

 

So what do you think!

Great scheme and nice colour.

I have some suggestions for a name:

Titan Spears (you could use spears on several models)

Emperor's Spears (already taken i think though)

Death Spears

Spears of Death

Striking Spears

 

(Something with a spear theme would fit well, i think)

what is your chapter style as that would help us with a name

also a chapter geneseed

 

if i were to make a couple of comments on the models

the spear seems a bit flimsy for a marine for my liking

and also the chapter symbol is a bit thick on the greenstuff but still well done on it

 

for names how about the (fo the top of my head)

Spears of Terra

Black Spears

Spears of Fire

 

but something else

why did you cut of the ends of the bolters?

it just hit me as being a bit wierd

 

but i don't know what effect you were going for so meh

 

Athiair ;)

1) Lords of the Abyss

 

2) Black Knights (I may use that name for my terminators but you can take it too)

 

3) Legion (also something I'll be using in my army)

 

4) Order of the Black Sun (that one is cool)

 

5) Order of the Black Rose (also cool)

 

6) Peanut Butter Knights (no seriously)

 

7) Black Council

 

8) Oh and I used to Love this name, "The Luna Knights" If you look at my models, just exchange all the red with blue and you have that

Interesting paint scheme and chapter symbol.

 

Legionaries of [Homeworld]

 

Gibbous Knights

 

Order of the Black Sun and Spears of Terra are both interesting and suitable. I don't really understand where people are getting peanut butter, but it's cute, me thinks :sick: .

 

I agree concerning cutting off the ends of the bolters, In my humble, not so very important opinion, it's a little odd, and not pressuring you, but what was your reason behind it?

That's good too! I just thought the OP might want to include some sort of story about how the marines come from the Planet Pompeii, which has been rendered utterly uninhabitable because of volcanoes or something. Perhaps their world was destroyed via exterminatus (melta torpedoes?) and they're now a fleet-based chapter. Would have been a fairly cool concept!

Thanks for all the feedback and the great names.

 

To answer the multiple questions regarding the bolters is that I never really liked the two extra protrusions (sp?) on top and below the muzzle but when I cut them off they the bolter looked really odd...so I just cut them all off and gave it a different look.
