Gharad Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi, I am relatively new here, but I have been lurking the boards for a while now. I have been trying to create/refine an idea I have had for a chapter, and right now I am trying to get a lot of my thoughts together cohesively and it is leading me to some dilemmas. At this stage of the plan I need help with the name of the chapter. The 'theme' of the chapter, and I use the term loosely. Is supposed to be Diamonds and the 'Unbreakable' quality associated with them. The Chapter Badge is going to be a black diamond (as in playing cards diamond) on a white background. Looking up diamonds online I saw that the word diamond, is from the Greek word for 'unbreakable', Adamas. Which I was thinking of incoporating into a name for the chapter something similar to "Sons of Adamas". The problem being of course, that I think that name may be a little to famous due to Battle Star Gallactica. So I was just wondering if people think that I should find another naming convention?

Ferrata Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I think its fine; but then I don't watch BSG. Sons of, Warriors of are all good (go "of" names!). You could always have Adamas Knights, meaning Unbreakable/Diamond Knights :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2451698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always have Adamas Knights, meaning Unbreakable/Diamond Knights :P Yeah, 'Sons of' was just one of the first ideas that came to mind. There are other variations which work well too.

Lysimachus Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I suppose you could alternatively use the english 'Adamant' (which I'm now guessing comes directly from the greek 'adamas'?), would give you more options besides 'Sons of ...' Adamant Sons Knights Adamant Warriors Adamant Adamant Guard etc, etc, etc edit: sorry Ferrata! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2451744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odsox Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 I rather like 'Knights Adamas'. Of course, be sure to look up the word in other languages - some foreign results can sound really good. Oh, turns out 'adamant' is Welsh for diamond, so that works out nicely for Lysimachus' suggestions! :) Od.

Octavulg Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Definitely go with adamant. Tis an awesome word. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2451830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzaren Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Another useful word in Chapter naming is Scion. Basically, if you want to be the "Sons of XXXX", but you dislike how "Sons of" sounds, or its taken, or a myriad of other reasons, Scion works well in its place. Also, the word adamant is awesome.

Gharad Posted July 2, 2010 Author Share Posted July 2, 2010 Thanks for the input guys. Very helpful. "<insert> Adamant" is the way I will be swinging at the moment. I just want to flesh the chapter and home world a tad more before I decide on whether is will be "Knights, Crusader, Matyrs, etc" :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2452342 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobius Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Just out of curiosity have you decided which chapter/geneseed they'll be descended from? Might help with ideas. Adamant Defenders Adamant Shields Adamant Spears Adamant Gauntlets Also you could use the word adamantine "unbreakable like" Adamntine Paladins Adamntine Reavers Why not just call them The Adamant? -J- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2453240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamant Defenders Adamant Shields Adamant Spears Adamant Gauntlets Also you could use the word adamantine "unbreakable like" Adamantine Paladins Adamantine Reavers Why not just call them The Adamant? -J- This all started as I was originally trying to make a Salamander successor based around a Basilisk with a home world that's atmosphere was toxic to the point that it would petrify things (I had never really looked into the extent of that). And as a result the population of the planet had moved underground. Since then the general plan has evolved to a point where I don't know which geneseed to go with anymore. Although at the moment I foresee the chapter being more of a defensive force which (to my knowledge) lends me more to the Ultras or Fists. might help: Emperor's Adamant Guardians Imperium's Adamant Guardians Adamant Martyrs Adamant Ravens Diamond Breakers Adamantium Claws Adamant Spearheads I feel like a dope. I had though of "Adamant Guard" but that made me think of Imperial Guard rather then marines. The Adamant Guardians or the Guardians Adamant however sounds pretty fricking cool in my books. Thanks guys. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2453720 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 In all seriousness though, I think "Sons of Adamas" is fine (until you mentioned BSG, I never even batted an eye-lid... some geek I am :P ), although adamantine (or variation there of) does have a good ring to it :( (Just my luck to call my Chapter Steel Wings when everyone knows Adamantium is +10 over it :D Oh well ^_^ ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205520-help-naming-a-chapter-please/#findComment-2453794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinzaren Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Scions of the Super Ultimate Hard Elementium Knights of Rocktanium Concretium Plasteelium Warriors. But really though, Guardians Adamant is incredibly cool sounding. Definitely +10 to hard awesomeness.
