Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hello Ive been working on making a new DIY space marine chapter, and i needed some help on the name of my Chapter. Im pretty sure that ill be going with this colour scheme, not 100% sure. From left to right, Sergeant and Tactical Marine. Another quick question, on my Chapter Master, can i give him Hellfire rounds if he has a Stormbolter, or is that bolter-only? Im also new to the forums and loving it so far. Please tell me if im posting this in the wrong place, thank you. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I might consider using that colour scheme aswell. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2687258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Black Fists? Bone Lords? Sanctified? Spectral Saviors? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2687281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CantonWC Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 It would help if you gave us an idea of what they're like or their general MO. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2687300 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightrawenII Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Another quick question, on my Chapter Master, can i give him Hellfire rounds if he has a Stormbolter, or is that bolter-only? Q: Can you give your Chapter Master Hellfire rounds if he has a Stormbolter? A: Yes. Q: Can Chapter Master use Hellfire rounds with the stormbolter? A: No. Black Fists? Bone Lords? Sanctified? Spectral Saviors? The Sanctified are Daemonancers of Khorne. Desolators?? (Btw, this is actually class of ship.) Use the "Chapter Name Generator", it's much faster.

Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I tried the generator, it can come up with some wacky names. I got the "Rainbow Turtles" once. Well, my general idea for them is that they are a fairly new Chapter, and that they have been fighting the Tyrinads a lot recently, and have been fighting various Splinter fleets. As for geneseed, i wasnt quite sure, is there a Chapter that has adopted certain fighting styles that help them combat the Tyrinads? Other then that, I was thinking about hit & run tactics and fast strikes at weak points. I guess the White Scars would suit? Or maybe the Raven Guard? Again, not completely sure. Again, thanks.

Aegnor Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Precision, attacking, lighting strikes describes the preferred tactics of just about all Marines, although some are more tightly focused than others. I'd suggest Ultramarines or Imperial Fists as your guys would need to be reasonably flexible fighting the Nids. That is, even if their strong preference is to get on the offensive and go for the jugular (hmmmm, do Nids have literal jugulars? Probably not...), they will have had to become adept at defending strongpoints vs hordes and maximizing the effectiveness of every big gun they can find. I'd suggest not making your whole chapter about their fights with the Nids. Have it as a big part of their current situation and recent history by all means, but in universe the first hive fleet only arrived a few hundred years ago. Most marine chapters are a fair bit older than that. Thinking of your chapter as a character in a story, you've got a good situation for that character to be in, but have a bit of a think about what that character's backstory is in terms of history and personality. Are they pragmatic or dogmatic? Cultured or feral? Etc. That character will make how they deal with their current challenge a much more interesting story.

Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Does anyone know the 3 latest foundings and their dates? I think the latest one was the 26th, is that correct?

Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks for that, I've seen that before, just never scrolled down. :D Would the 25th founding be a good time fore them to start off?

Keyboard Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 I changed the colour scheme, again not sure wait im going with. Still need name suggestions. ;) From left to right, Sergeant and Marine. I kinda went with the idea of the Crimson Fists, when they reach veteran status their other fist gets painted gray. I might change this to a whole arm, or something along those lines.

Keyboard Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I may, or may not, put flames along the shoulder-pads and the shinguards, alot like the Legion of the Damned. If i do this, i might ALSO make their homeworld a lava based Deathworld. Again, not 100% sure. Thanks for all the help B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2688082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyboard Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I though of some names, so here they are: Fireborn Magma Lords Magma Templars/Fire Templars Fire Fists/Magma Fists Any ideas?

Ecritter Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 need to know more about the chapter first. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2688141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegnor Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Fireborn is one of the frequently used titles of the Salamanders, so might be better avoided. If you want to go on the fire themed names, I reckon "Lava" or "Magna" would be good to include - there are a lot of "Fire" chapters already. Something about the hellish nature of their world, that doesn't sound too chaotic, could be good. "Lava Devils" "Inferno Warriors" Obsidian is volcanic, isn't it? Might work, given the colour scheme.

Keyboard Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for that, i might go with "Knights of the Inferno" or something along those lines. Ive also been trying to paint the flames on the sholder pads and legs, as well as some Lava on the bases. Thank you for the idea of Inferno and Obsidian, much appreciated. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224635-naming-my-chapter/#findComment-2688309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for that, I've seen that before, just never scrolled down. :ermm: Would the 25th founding be a good time fore them to start off? It sure would. You can always rumble with Orks until the 'nids show up. If your guys are big on hating the xeno, that's a good excuse to throw themselves into fighting the tyranids at the first opportunity. :P As far as potential names go, how about the Burning Swords?

Keyboard Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thanks for the replies, the Burning Swords sounds pretty sweet, but im still not sure. :P I tryed painting some of those flames the Legion of the Damned have, and it worked out pretty well (For me atleast).
