Magic Dragon Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I think the name says it all. here is the colour scheme I have come up with; Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230952-need-ideas-for-a-chapter-name/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Not a big fan of the black right leg, honestly - I think it'd look a lot better in bone. Had you any thoughts on what you wanted the chapter to be like? I'm honestly having trouble just coming up with a name off the top of my head. EDIT: Maybe something like Eradicators? Eradication Angels? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230952-need-ideas-for-a-chapter-name/#findComment-2776790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Juan Juarez Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Provided by CJJ and his handy button pressing finger, in conjunction with the Chapter Name Generator: Skulking Enforcers Gore Justicars Screeching Templars Dancing Dragons Rainbow Fists Shrieking Sharks Raging Krakens Those in yellow being my particular favourites!

Lysimachus Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'd agree on the proper half and half scheme, if you want some black on that side of the marine, what about making the shoulder trim black. Something like: http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd11/simoncherylm/spacemarine-1.jpg Then you're making it more symmetrical overall which makes the single red arm stand out. Perhaps the name could follow from that; Bloody Fists, Angels of Gore, etc, etc?

Ecritter Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 How about ... the marines of the We Got Shipped the Wrong Right Arm Chapter? Seriously, name them anything you want just don't fall into the trap that too many do. Chapters are named long before they have any exploits, great or small. Even GW falls into this trap all too often. Take the Blood Angels for example, or Dark Angels, or Ultramarines, the list goes on and on. I'm just saying, name them then build them. Actually when I see that color scheme I think night/day. So Sons of the Dawn, Nexus Knights, or something like that.

Octavulg Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Hey, it's way more fun to name them something that later turns out to have significance. It's a genre convention. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230952-need-ideas-for-a-chapter-name/#findComment-2777516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Does Purifiers work for you? And the quest continues... :rolleyes: And to stay on topic; they really do look like they should be White Scars successors, to me, what with that colour scheme. So... Sons of Khan? Sons of Chogoris? I dunno. I'm kinda struggling here... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230952-need-ideas-for-a-chapter-name/#findComment-2777571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrum Vinco Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Going on the whole night/day concept, the word equinox comes to mind. The red arm... as in blood or advengers? ... Equinox Advengers? ...

Shinzaren Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 What is that right arm about? Did they fight a bunch of World Eaters and revoke their right to bear arms? Literally? Although, even if true, you need to do something about their right to arm bears... Anyway, for productive suggestions: Scarbrands? Sanguinary Fists? Scalded Sons? I really got nothing here...

Nemesor Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 And yet, as has been said before, having a name fitting of their later character is a tradition of 40k.

Ferrata Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It is one of those things that we have to let go. It is the same for all chapters so we have to allow it. It is like accepting that we are talking about genetic super humans ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/230952-need-ideas-for-a-chapter-name/#findComment-2778694 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Well the first founding chapters that were mentioned were renamed by the Primarchs, so the situation was very very differant. And then, maybe they get named differantly than what we think? (I don't know though, I could be very wrong, but I don't remember seeing anything to the contrary). So maybe when a chapter is founded, it is given an official name like chapter 18-13 (18th chapter of 13th founding). And then from there it gets it chapter master, who chooses its name (maybe right away, or maybe after something notable). He then says, "Oh man, we slaughtered those people at dawn, and our tactics worked flawlessly. We are the Dawn Raiders!" Then from that point foward, they love that name, "Dawn Raiders, rally to me!" So then the Chapter Master submits that name (because he did not previously submit a name, so it is still 18-13). The HLoT then designate them as the Dawn Raiders. That is my take on it. Of course, it all depends, and I could be completely wrong.

Omega Striker Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 With the color of bone and midnight, why not something like Bone Crushers or Back Breakers? There are many themes we can see in that color set up. Just work with it.

platypuscorps Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 On the: "NO! THEY WERE NAMED BEFORE THE AWESOME STUFF HAPPENED!" Subject, I agree with Octavulg, Many chapters are named later, either after they reach full strength, or when the chapter master says so. Up until that point, they are refered to by their Chapter Number. IE, Guardsman: "Sir! Space Marines have made planetfall and are killing the other guys!" Colonel: "Those a-hole Catachan?" Guardsman: "No! The Tau!" Colonel: "Fine then, what chapter?" Guardsman: "..." Colonel: "OUT WITH IT BOY!" Guardsman: "I think it was chapter 725, 26." Colonel: ".... This millenium is just to crazy. I mean, not only do we worship a corpse, but the glory boys are to f-ing lazy to NAME THEMSELVES!"
