Colonel Falkenberg Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I have finally collected my SM company... but now I find myself struggling for a name and colour scheme. What I have, which is built and primed is this: 8 x 10 man tac squads w/ drop pod. 2 x 6 man devastator squads w/ razorback 2 x 10 man assualt squads 1 x 5 man term squad w/ LR 1 x 5 man assault ter w/ LR 2 x dreadnought w/ DP whirlwind 2 x 5 man scout marine sniper 2 x 5 man scout Telion Librarian w/ term armour Chaplin w/ jump pack captain w/ command squad Now I put this together as part of my Apocolpse themed army which has an Inquistor Lord and retinue, a battalion of IG (12000pts), and my Grey Knighs (3000pts). I was going to do a Red Hunter Company, but I don't care for the red paint job. I like the Ultramarines BUT everybody and their dog has an Ultramarine army. I'm sticking with a Codex chapter or like too with ties to the ultra's (that would explain tellion) but I'm out of gas in the creativity department. Any thoughts or ideas? Inspiration needed! oh yeah... a simple paint scheme is best cause me and painting... well it's like pulling teeth. Thanks!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 How about the name Purifiers? You could do all white armor, except for the trim, kneepads, and gauntlets. Of course, I'm making this up as I go along, so feel free to change around the colors. This isn't a 'canon' chapter.

Colonel Falkenberg Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hmm... that could work. Purifiers? I thought I've seen that name for a chapter already... I will check the lexicon and see. White would work, maybe with Blue trim? or Red? I wanted a chapter that was friendly with the Inquisition or had ties with my inquisitor lord ( i do like fluff and back ground for my armies). thanks for the suggestion!

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Don't worry. Over the many, many months I have attempted to find someone to name their chapter Purifiers, I have made absolutely certain that there are no other chapters named that.

Techmarine Jorg Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 A few thoughts,: Since Telion is the only special charactet in your army I wouldn't pigeon hole yourself into an Ultramarines or successor chapter. He could be any scout master ninja. As far as colors go, unless you are a very good/ fast painter I would stick to something dark and simple. If you can get your hands on a copy of Index Astartes check out the chapter colors in the back. If you're going to do make your chapter I recommend getting a copy of How to Paint Space Marines. I can't even begin to discourage you from doing white armor, doing just my apothecary alone made me want to slit my wrists.

Colonel Falkenberg Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 Just an update, settled on colors. Saw an Flesh Tearers army in the latest White dwarf and liked the armor. Decided to reverse it though, with chaos Black as the main color with some kind of red for the helmet, shoulders and powerpack. Easy paint job for me since I hate painting. Did a test model using blood red, since it was one of my Sterngaurds I added the white trim for 1st company... looked all right.

Colonel Falkenberg Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 Decided on the above sugestion for the chapter name, Purifiers. I'll post some pictures of finished paint jobs shortlu, but in the mean time I'm stuck looking for a chapter symbol. I had a couple of un politicly correct ideas from an old WW2 model sticker set, but that might upset people if I ever play in a turnament. What ever I go with I'm thinking it should be easy to make with a stencil so I can quickly paint it on. Any suggestions?

You may have anything in my power to do, wealth women, power, knowledge, anything! My crusade is at last complete! Hah! Hah! Hahahahahaha! Please don't be joking. No joke. Purifiers it is. Actually I'm surprised it has never been used canon or otherwise. Seems like a fairly logical name for a spacemarine chapter. I've painted my devestator squads razorbacks and attached the squad numbers and company number with decals. Turned out alright considering I've always messed up decals and stayed away from them. I plan to have 500pts painted for the game coming up this friday... after that I have the rest of the company to paint. After that I have the remainder of my IG battalion to paint... AND then once i've picked up a couple of the new GK models to round out my metal collection, I'll have to paint those. I need to win the lotto so I can just hire someone to paint my mini's. :wub: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224252-looking-for-chapter-ideas/#findComment-2735687 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 You know, I think I should paint a model for you just for naming them that.
