Balthamal Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 OK a quick rundown on this (my 2nd) attempt at an IA. I've decided to bin my previous effort The Evocators due to a lack of things to write about them that fits in with my vision for them and also because I see them getting more mileage out of being a renegade chapter and the arch nemesis' of my loyalists. So with that in mind: Names: The name of the Chapter is still needed. Since ive got a fair few red scorpion bits from forgeworld lying around I plan on using them so (something) Scorpions is the way forward. (I'm thinking dark scorpions myself but I'm open to all good ideas) I also need a name for the fortress monastery. Instead of a massive mountain/citadel its going to be built into the ground. Same sort of shape as a citadel but reversed (I still see a sort of central spire, or in this case shaft, heading deepest underground) Finally need a catchy name for the group of honour guard in the same sort of vein as the Pyre Wardens of the the Fire Lords etc Thanks in advance :) P.S Since the veterans accumulate names I have space for 19 (my army has 10 terminators and 9 sternguard) named marines if anyone would care to donate a few. The 3rd name will usually be an honour name such as "the bloody" or "deathwalker" etc in High Gothic (latin/greek) so if anyone has anything catchy feel free to share it.

CantonWC Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm going to sound like an ass by saying this, but there is a saying on the Liber: "The Liber is quality control, not the assembly line" (roughly paraphrased). It's our job to critique your Chapter concept, not make it for you.

I reckon Telveryon should copyright that so he gets royalties every time it's used... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221847-diy-chapter/#findComment-2651209 Share on other sites More sharing options...

soddinnutter Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Scorpion Legion? Legio Scorpius? because everything sounds better in broken latin. But seriously give us a hand here. Your asking our opinion on 'something to do with scorpions and a bunker style fortress'. We require more info please.

Scorpion? Hidden lair? That's the best Simpsons reference I've seen in years. Good man. ;) EDIT: Iron Scorpions sounds good as a name. Way to stay on topic, Ace. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221847-diy-chapter/#findComment-2653345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthamal Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Tha picture came up when I did a random google earlier. Didn't stop laughing for a good 10 minutes then I went and dug that episode out. Classic :D Back on topic Legio Scorpius is in :) Not only does it sound cool but it fits into a little quirk of the Chapter that things have names in High Gothic (Broken Latin to us chaps) As for the fortress, I'm quite taken with the name The Underspire. Only way I can really describe it would be to picture (if possible) Minas Tirith from LOTR and reverse it, with the largest area being just below ground and the more important places get progressively deeper Hope that sheds a little bit of light on what I'm trying to accomplish Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221847-diy-chapter/#findComment-2653410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
