Azarias Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I don't know about the whole 'Harbor of a Thousand Heathens' bit. He's already the King of a Thousand Heathens - does he need to reinforce that moniker to the point that it becomes cliché? It's a small step to 'Throne of a Thousand Heathens', 'Sword of a Thousand Heathens', 'Ship of a Thousand Heathens', and even 'Gun of a Thousand Heathens'. Wouldn't want it to become something like Batman, where everything's a bat-something. Just my thoughts on the matter. Oh, and I'm in support of Hellion's Harbor. Thanks again for accepting Barbaros' tainted CV. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2926319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 I ain't gonna kid you all, I'm not a fan of the Harbour of a Thousand Heathens bit, and Azarias explained why exactly. I mean, I might as well add another Marine to our group named Robin, lol. I'm all about this warband being a bunch of arrogant, selfish, greedy, vain jerks; I don't want this army to become a cliche. I'm kinda partial to The Collossus's 'Hellion Port' now. Not too corny, and still sounds dangerous... @Deus Ex Ferrum: I do understand your dislike of alliteration, but as long as it isn't overdone, I think it'd be ok. It doesn't neccessarily need to be 'Hellion', either. As for the 'Pola Anchorage' bit, it does sound really cool, and I always love historic references sprinkled liberally in 40k, you gotta understand my position....I'll be actually be playing this army at my LGS, and we have a habit of chatting about our army's history. I live in Anchorage, AK, in weather that a less learned person would call 'polar'. No offence, but the 'Pola Anchorage' name sounds a bit corny in my situation. Thanks for the idea though, man! @Strike Captain Lysimachus: Thanks for the compliments, man! Your army and IA was a big motivator for myself deciding on a more 'piratical' theme (aka, your fault, lol) As for the varied flags for each squad....you sir, are a genius!!! That's a great idea, thanks! Finally, an exchange program might be possible, we'll see what the future holds. Your Iron Gods are always welcome to visit our port.....for a price..... ;) :lol: @Yogi: Actually mate, I'm thinking we exist thanks to Huron's patronage. I was thinking that Akan was given wardship over the Docks due to a good record with the Tyrant, and was given rights to it's control for the price of getting rid of the previous occupants, and keeping a respectful tithe going out to the Tyrant (maybe like 20-30% cut of whatever we steal, kinda like rent). Akan understands his own abilities enough to know that he'll never be Lord of the Maelstrom. Instead, he's happy living as a free man, getting rich and poking the eye of the Maelstrom Warders. Hope this makes sense, I'm still trying to hammer out ideas for an IA for these guys. Alright, so here's the deal...I have a major life event coming up soon, which has a plus side and a negative side. On a positive side, I will have much more time to work on this army. On a negative side, I will be apart from my family for an extended period of time due to my job. My priorities will always be my family first, so I am trying to spend a lot of extra time with them right now (thus why I haven't been posting alot the last few days). Also, there will be quite a bit of travel involved, so I might be completley out of the loop for a little bit until I settle in. I'll check in and post as much as I can when I can though, and when I get to where I'm going, I'll be tearing into this army with gusto, lol. Please be patient with me, it's a hectic and sad time for my family and I right now.... Ixion should be done by Sunday night; I finally found a good recipe for tarnished silver that I approve of! ^_^ Hey, just thought of this...how about 'Perdition Harbour"? EDIT: Acckk! Almost forgot...I'm kinda partial to Strike Captain Lysimachus's idea about each squad having it's own personal flag. But what do you guys think? What I was thinking was to have each squad come up with an idea for their flag, with the squad Champion having the final say. All I ask is that the flag is black, and incorporates a red skeleton as the focal point. You guys like this idea, or no?

Zincite Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Shame about the name. Pesonally, I'd say if you made everything 1000 Heathens-named, then it'd be bad. But this is like the 'Batcave,' which is good because it's just named after it's owner, unlike the 'Batcar,' which is crap because it's just using 'Bat' for fun. If that makes any sense. But your army, man. :o All I ask is that the flag is black, and incorporates a red skeleton as the focal point. You guys like this idea, or no? I like it. *Nods* If it's accepted (I like doing things in advance...) I forward the idea of a Skeleton holding an axe in either hand again, dripping. Considering the number of looneys, and the 'reaver', it makes sense. Like this. Excuse the painting skills, and hope you don't mind me editing it... .. You get the rough idea.

The Colossus Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 @1000heathens I must admit, "Perdition Harbour" made me think of some weird mash up of Road to Perdition and Pearl Harbour. I'm kinda feeling "Harbour" doesn't really evoke a 40k setting... But... Having said that, it IS growing on me. Perdition is a kinda cool thing, given its meaning(s). Just as a random thought "Perdition Hellport"? Hmmmm just a couple of ideas... @Zincite I like the flag. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2926606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Ferrum Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 How about including the word "storm" in there somewhere? After all, this is near the Maelstrom, and maelstrom is a word for a particularly bad storm. Something like Storm Port? Or Hellstorm Port? Hellstorm Harbor! I kinda like that last one . . .

Traitor's Trusty Tower of Tyranny, Taxation, Torture, and Tortellini? Fairly Fixed up Fortress of Fighting, Fear, and Feral Fisticuffs? Yes to all of them. Especially the last one.

Hyaenidae Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hmmm...Yeah, Hellstorm Harbor. That does have a nice ring to it. On the other hand, Traitor's Reprieve does sound cool too. Alright, I'm gonna narrow down the vote to these two options. Your votes gents? @Zincite: I don't mind (matter of fact, I kinda dig the axes, lol); it's up to your Squad Champion though on the final decision of the squad flag design. @Biaz and Noctus: Your call on your squad's heraldry, gents, with your squadmates input of course. :teehee: A black flag and a red skeleton is all I ask to be on it, reposition him and add to him as you guys wish!

Alright, I'm gonna narrow down the vote to these two options. Your votes gents? Of these two I like Hellstorm Harbour. Traitors Reprieve kinda has connotations of asking / requesting / desiring forgiveness from someone in my humble opinion, as it does pertain to clemency. I don't see this motley crew wanting any of that. I was also going to suggest that Saa's icon / banner was made of the flayed skin of his victims but I suspect that would be unworkable if you want the banner to be black B) Saa .....or something like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2927231 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 On the contrary, I could make the flag look like it was made out of blackened leather, stitched together. B) I'm sure a few stitched together faces sewn into the leather patches would get the point across, lol Good point on the name, Saa. I didn't even think about it that way! Edit: For clarity.

A question, do you intend to have him helmeted and use possessed bits to represent his 'flayed-ness' or will he be power armoured and helmetless, showing a skinned, lipless, muscle fibred face? :) Saa .......or something like that Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2927275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 One of the reasons I'm a bit terrified of making the Flayer is because I'm planning on sculpting his face from scratch, using an open mouthed skull from the Skeleton Warriors from the fantasy line as a frame. Muscle fibres and all, even planning on making sure he has no eyelids... I might be slightly insane by the time I finish him, lol :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2927279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Had a look through some pirate flags on wiki, I think I'd go something like: +crown for Akan himself, showing his rule one image used on a couple of flags is a spear through a bleeding heart, perhaps have that carried by the skeleton? might fit nicely for Korovius' bloodthirsty and arrogant nature? I'm not sure why, but Callor feels a bit more fatalistic, maybe for him the axe suggested by Zincite, perhaps with an hourglass (very common pirate symbol) in the other hand? Oh, and yep, of the two I'd definately go with Hellstorm Harbour.

I can't wait to see how it pans out!! (I'm gonna point out my arrogance at this stage and say that Saa is actually my real name (pronounced Sar)......short for Sarazin so I take great pride in the fact that a skinless, crazy, treacherous Crimson Fist will be fielded by a guy all the way in Alaska in my name :) ) Saa ....or something like that Edit: Forgot to add my homage to Furyou Miko (....or something like that).....she said I'd forget someday and I did 'doh' Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241518-akans-reavers/page/9/#findComment-2927285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
