[Sandalphon]

They look great! particularly like the chapter master and vindicator :D

 

funnily enough my AotL termies are all black with yellow shoulder's, they needed a re-vamp and I recently decided they should have a Lion's pawprint with claws as their logo... almost identical! :( might have to rethink this now haha.... (i grabbed it off the SW transfers anway ;) )

 

seriously cool and unique army!

To NemFX:

Yes that will be very great to have some stories which could help me to write down the background of my chapter. Ursa Major is cool which is a constellation outside the zodiac, and I'm also thinking of Ursa's guardian. It's because thatif Ursa Major has not been taken by other chapters, I wish it to be the homeworld of the chapter.

And to all brothers, I'm doing the background of my chapter. It's always great to have your opinion and idea.

The backbone of the chapter's background is as following:(C&C welcome!;) )

1. It's from a society in which warriors are highly respected. They are of the high rank in their homeworld, and with supreme power, the chapter is of great importance and influce to the government.

2. The chapter sees the Emperor as the greatest warrior mankind has ever had. He fighted like the giant bear which is, believed by the chapter, the embodiment of a true warrior -- be still and always watch the enemy's move carefully, and then ONE decisive attack. Bears also carry the virtue of endurance. To damage the enemy, one must first learn how to discipline himself.

3. The chapter favours heavy fire power the most: with extreme defence, the heavy fire power can be seen as the bear's rage and roar.

4. It's a most important thing that the chapter is highly disciplined. Taught by the Emperor's great deeds, battle brothers of the chapter believe discipline is the only way mankind can survive the dark 41st millennium, and that is a way in which we can find peace inside our beating hearts.

5. The color theme of the chapter is yellow+black. Red is the color of veterans as can be seen in the sternguard picture, the shoulder pad rim is red. Gold is only accessable by the high rank commanders. Bear is certainly the main symbol of the chapter with FLOWERs as a second one. The reason is in entry 6:

6. While bear represents a true warrior's fighting spirit, flower shows the way of life/the spiritual thing within. By watching the flower which is beauty itself, one can learn a lot. The perfect but short bloom of Sakura reminds people that life is short and what makes a man a man is the ONE short perfect bloom in his life which is the result of his long-term preparation and training. And, it is said that to have seen a perfect bloom of Sakura is one's great honor. Plum, on the other way, blooms in winter and that is the way of eternal endurance: take what is must to be taken without a word and let the mind be trained in such way. In Chinese painting, plum blossom has small pink flowers around thin but very bold and strong branches. Also, peony is fortune and rolyalty (believed by us Chinese) because it always has very large flower and great blossom. That is a teaching of how a man should behave: do what ever you can to show the world yourself! etc. The chapter has flowers as the decoration here and there. Actually there is some on the chapter master's robe but the picture can not show his back:)

 

I've to go to a battle. More to be added tonight:)

I think all your ideas are brilliant save the name, Ursa's Guardians does no have the same ring as Ursa Major or Ursa Claws. But I've never had the ability to pick names.

 

With the flowers, brilliant. Nothing short of brilliant. A shot of the Chapter Master's robe would be nice. Also, the strong branches would help to tie the flowers with the bear theme.

Thank you for your comment:)

BTW, it was a tactical draw of today's 1000 battle. Failed to get into turn 6... It was really really really wrong to have my sternguard charged into the assault marine squad. Better be shooting Vengence rounds.

I dunno.. I like Ursa Major. It lets you do that joke whenever possible.

 

 

I should probably point out that pretty much all of my stories have a minimum of one funny thing happening. My story for my Ultramarines could be read as one big joke because they don't act like stereotypical marines. The one for the Sons of Dagda has a bloodthirster getting hit by two thunderhammers in it's gender-parts.

 

 

Also, most of the stories are at least a little cheesy. But that's just because everyone loves cheese.

Humm, frankly, I'm not sure I caught the meaning of the 'Major' joke because, you see, I'm not a English native speeker :lol: Will you plz have a brief explain?

Well, Ursa Major does sound good.
