-JK- Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 So, I'm starting a new Dark Angels' successor chapter, but I can't for the life of me come up with a name. I'm veering towards 'Angels of... (Blank)'. Please help me fill the (Blank)! I've been trawling through an old Latin dictionary to no avail, and I just wondered if anyone had any good suggestions! If anyone is interested, the paint scheme will be this: http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/W40K/Space%20Marine%20Chapter%20Schemes/spacemarine3.jpg http://i959.photobucket.com/albums/ae75/kennedyjr754/W40K/Space%20Marine%20Chapter%20Schemes/spacemarinegf.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236991-name-for-a-da-successor-chapter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Master Sheol of the 5th Company. From the 2nd Ed. ExpansionSupreme Grand Master Aradiel (sp) of the Dark Angels, oversaw the creation of the Disciples of Caliban. History section of the current codex. There was a named dreadnought in the Original Plains World story but I think it was referred to its Native Name instead of it's Angel Name. Not sure if the Terminators in the old Deathwing supplement of Space Hulk were named. Also in WD, there was the three characters made up when the codex came out that are for the successors. A helpful idea may be to dream up some backstory for this chapter. That might help focus the name a bit.example would be if they are a chapter keeping an eye on the Tau they could be the Angels of the Watch. Have a preferred weapon? Angels of the Blade/Hammer/Bolt. Look at the current Angels of ..., what do they use? Vigilance, Vengeance, Redemption, Absolution and Fire (a non-DA one). Most are related to a state of being and/or have a religious connection. Another Religious based one could be Angels of Confession, and then you can mess with the Battle Sisters out there. Then there is the slapstick names like the Angels of the Pointed Stick (Poke 'em in the Eye!). I do know a player that called his marines the A-hole Marines complete with flesh tone armor and an appropriate chapter icon. Too bad they weren't a Chaos army... The color scheme looks good but now they need a little direction. That direction might allow the inspiration to spark a name for you.

HsojVvad Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have no idea why this is in my head, espically when I saw your pics. It could be already taken officially or from someone else, but all I see is Angels of Redemption.

-JK- Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. @Belial: A most wise suggestion! I'll have to do some fluff reading and I think that will greatly help with a direction for the chapter in general, thanks ;) @HsojVvad: Believe it or not, I think I know why Angels of Redemption may have popped into your head! Although the Angels of Redemption colour scheme is a halved one, I actually chose my colour scheme based on their first company colours.

Brother Landrain Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Why the Red Helmets? Just looking at them made me think Techmarine/Mechanicus/Mars... Angels of Mars Uses a high number of Tech Marines. Very Mechanized Also uses a lot of Bionics. DIY Chapters allow you many options in todays gameplay. My DIY Chapter is the.. Desert Angels Everything except Assault comes with a Vehicle. Assault will get StormRavens / T-Hawks when I get a chance. Color Scheme is Desert Tan with Green trim. Based off of WW2 Desert Armies. ... By using generic Desert Angels, I am able to also use Codex:Vampires ... Can Also be the Desert Dogs if I feel the need to use the Codex:Puppies Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/236991-name-for-a-da-successor-chapter/#findComment-2857712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pueriexdeus Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I for one use a Latin name Pueri ex Deus (Children of God) Pueri is actually an impetuous young male child. There are some good English/Latin translators on the web. My favorite is here. Have fun with it, never know what you'll come up with.

Octavulg Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Most chapters with a name in Latin (and there aren't many) have the whole name in Latin. :tu: Angels of Eradication? Angels of Exculpation? Angels of Condemnation? Angels of Invocation? Angels of Purgation? Angels of Annihilation? Angels of Vindication?
