flintlocklaser Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Planet is going to be named by you. Well, based on the following, you're still going to have a heavy, obvious Spartan influence: CM (or 2) is now called Leon or (?) after a spartan king(s).Name forchapter is still same (Im sorry I like it...) So just pick a totally unconnected name for the homeworld, would be my opinion. Nothing to do with Sparta, or Greece, or anything about your chapter's real-world inspiration. Hell, go for something in a totally other language - Russian, or Chinese, or Arabic, or something. Anything possible to dilute the theme at this point would be good. The SW codex is an interesting choice, as they're pretty much the opposite of the Spartan concept (wild, crazy individualists versus the tightly regimented Spartan phalanx) - do more stuff like this, that moves away from the blatantly Spartan.

Marshal Rohr Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Look up the Russian Spelling for Leonidas if your a dead set on it. Also, keeping the Chapter named the Spartans is a bad idea, which has been chorused by most readers. If you want the Spartan in the name add in a color or element like the Iron Spartans of the Black Spartans.

Dedjartes Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I concur with the BaCian above. Including Spartaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan as any part of the naaaaaaame is just asking to haaaaaave the piss ripped out of you and your spartaaaaaaaaans, and is getting to be really old haaaaaaat. Even just calling them the Brothers of Hellenica, or Justicars of Yyurotas would be an improvement.
