dragonknight4275 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Hey wargamers. Being the crazy DIY fluff-fanatic I am, I always have approximately 6-10 DIY Chapters in the works. Right now, the highest priority (sacred Priority... 1 :D ) is this: The __fill in epic sounding Chapter name here (Yay Silver Wyrms)__ - They are descendants of the Iron Hands, formed from Ferrus Manus' gene-seed. - They have a great sense of martial pride, holding their honour (debts) above all else. - Like all sons of Ferrus, they believe "the flesh is weak" and so on so forth. Translation: Lots of bionics/mechanical parts. - Close ties with the Sons of Medusa I'm using Blood Angels rules for them solely because I intend never to succumb to the taint of vanilla Codex marines (tainted IMHO, of course). Here, I even included their colour scheme! EDIT: This is V2 of their colour scheme. Darkened up the white parts a bit with silver (as close as you can get to silver in the B&C painter anyway). http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6723440517_3fbe306e61.jpg SOO, I need suggestions for the Chapter's name. I've been drawing a complete blank for their name during the past month or so that I've been feverishly working on them. It's quite frustrating. Please help, thanks. ~DK Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245588-chapter-name-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 How about: Gorgons (a nod to Medusa) Purifiers (on behalf of Chapter Master Ignis Domus ;) ) Silver Wyrms (Part of Iron Hands lore was the fight between the Great Silver Wyrm and Ferrus Manus) Aaand I'm out. Running low on creativity tonight. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245588-chapter-name-help/#findComment-2970953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Debonair Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Red Claws, maybe? Or, since their badge would presumably not be red, swap Red for another suitable colour. :D Beasts of [HOMEWORLD NAME]/[sYSTEM NAME]? Or, Purifi- Oops, beaten to it. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245588-chapter-name-help/#findComment-2970963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Engage the loud horns and horses! Raise the excessively colo(u)red banners! Prepare the feasting tables! CMID is here to save you from your eternal torment through but a single suggestion that will rock your world: PURIFIERS!!!!! Now, for a limited time only, you too can join the incredible trend that is sweeping the galaxy as we speak. Purifiers is one of the most trendy names to use in the current world of fashion, and is showing no signs of dying down. Even prominent Games Workshop designers use this name when writing fluff for their codices! And the best part is, no one actually has a fully completed chapter named Purifiers, meaning you can be unique while maintaining the latest fashion! Act now, and we'll even throw in Nemesis. That's right, you can get both Purifiers and their archenemy, Nemesis, for the price of a single name! So buy today buy now, and keep on DIYing!

dragonknight4275 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hey guys! Thanks for all the help. CMID: I dimly remember you saying that last time I asked for DIY chapter names..... Brother Cambrius: Oh now where did I put that darned stasis field! Ace: Hrmm.... IMHO Red claws is kinda iffy with their colour scheme. No offense! Beasts of Medusa would be nice, but Medusa is the Iron hands' homeworld. Then again, the whole Sons of Medusa thing.... Olisredan: I think Silver Wyrms just won my heart (SORRY CMID!!!). I also updated my colour scheme coincidentally just now, and made the white parts more silverish! Thanks man! Again, thanks for all your help guys. I've edited the post with my new colour scheme. And I saw a chapter named "Purifiers" in the Liber somewhere. I'm sure of it. Not even kidding. Not a bit. Nope. Uh-uh. Ok I'm done.

Chapter Master Ignis Domus Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I hate you. You've ruined my life forever. Go die in a hole. > If you've seen a chapter named Purifiers before, it's probably one of the six or seven, maybe eight, failed DIYs from previous efforts. And yes, I've probably recommended it before. Don't feel bad if I don't remember you. I recommend the name 20 or 30 times a day.

Olis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 I feel disproportionately pleased. Glad you liked my suggestion, dragonknight. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245588-chapter-name-help/#findComment-2971645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Good choice with Silver Wyrms :confused: *cracks whip* Now get writing about them! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/245588-chapter-name-help/#findComment-2971837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destecado Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Just a couple of suggestions.... Adjudicators (Iron Judges) ....I've always been a fan of Judge Dread, who I view to be more of the prototype for a Space Marine than sime wussy Arbiter. And as with Judge Dread, the sentance they pass down is usually DEATH....sentance carried out on the spot. Iron Vipers Steel Vipers...Since the Iron Snakes already exists as a chapter Steel Vipers might work better. You could potentially have their First Company be called the Copperheads...a nickname in reference to the reddish coppery color of their helmets (marking them as part of the veteran company). It also kinda ties back to the gorgon/ Medusa motif, since she had poisonous snakes for hair (a bit of a stretch I know, but there you go). Continuing with the Snake motiph I was trying to think of something related to pythons or other constricting snakes...maybe Iron or Steel Pythons....calling the the Constrictors sounds kinda hokie. Anyway, the name would work best for a highly mecanized Chapter who possibly encircle their enemy and slowly "squeeze" them to submission.

Mutters Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This was a dark, forsaken world. Mercen hated everything about it. The long day/night cycle. The dense fog and battering winds. The geysers that fed the atmosphere with thick, grey liquid that could only be described as ichor. But most of all, the stench of xenos. Mercen's squad had trudged through this fog for half a day so far, tracking the beacon that they picked up from space. They had fought a few of the local predators, the half invisible tusked creatures that used the fog as cover for the hunt. Their flesh was weak, and easily destroyed. It had been a long march, since the fog had made mincemeat of their sensors and blown their drop pod off course. But right now, Mercen wasn't being bothered by the world, for he was in a furious battle of blades with the Dark Ones. The Dark Eldar whirled about, with blades on its arms, slashing and stabbing furiously in a dance of death. Mercen parried and blocked each stroke masterfully, but the Devious One feinted to overextend him, and used the opening to stab down into the wrist of his sword hand. Sparks flew, blinding both of them, as Mercen's bionic arm malfunctioned from the blow. He raised his other arm in grim determination as he grabbed the throat of the Dark One. He pulled the struggling xenos to his helmet and whispered to it as its life drained from its body. "By Ferrus Manus, and The Iron Cleansing, this world will be pure." Mercen grimaced as he threw the lifeless body to the ground, clicking on his combi-flamer and taking it to the torch. After it became a dessicated husk of burnt flesh and bone, he stomped on the form, scattering it to the winds as naught but ash.
