Dosjetka Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 What chapter is the little GIF guy in your sig supposed to be, BTW? He's an Imperial Fist in Mk3 armour. If you want to see where that little chap came from and ask MadDoc to make you one for your own sig, go here :lol: Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 OK. What are you thinking for name? Sticking with Praetors makes a certain sense (Romans + Gladiators).

Dosjetka Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 OK. What are you thinking for name? Sticking with Praetors makes a certain sense (Romans + Gladiators). Crimson Praetors? Or something along those lines. Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121649 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavulg Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 They're not really that crimson, though... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Praetors of Kalatha/Kalathan Praetors Iron/Steel Praetors And now for something completely different: Adjudicators!

Ace Debonair Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Praetors of Kalatha/Kalathan PraetorsIron/Steel Praetors Steel Praetors is a name made of 100% kickass. Have the chapter badge in a cold, steel grey (always nice to have some nod to the name in the colours) and you're set. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shield with a cog-and-skull on it? I was thinking of making them Iron Hand successors, so that could work quite well :( Ludovic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121949 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrvat Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 How about a pair of crossed wrenthces behind a cog like skull? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3121979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 How about a pair of crossed wrenthces behind a cog like skull? Cheers for the suggestion, but it would be a nightmare to paint and the shield really reinforces the Praetor side of the Chapter, in my mind.

Octavulg Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 ...Unless it's a Roman Shield, I don't see how it does that, and I'm not that sure even then. And why the cog-like skull?

Praetors, I thought, also meant "protector", so a shield would be quite apt. The cog-and-skull to mark them as Iron Hand descendants and allies of the AdMech (though that doesn't mean uber-ness in the Chapter due to more TDA or rubbish like that).

Octavulg Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Praetor appears to derive from "to go before". It has nothing to do with the word protect that I can see... That said, ecritter has made you a very nice symbol, for all that I don't think the elements make much sense for the chapter. Of course, shields show up all over the place even when it doesn't make complete sense. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3123386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 yes I made that just for you Are you after something? I'm poor you know, and I don't have Davey's painting skill :P More seriously, that's awesome (I much prefer the second one actually, though the first one does look good). Thank you very much, Ecritter :tu: Ludovic EDIT: Oh, OK. Well, as you said, I'll keep the epic symbol :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253213-ludovics-index-astartes/page/3/#findComment-3123605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
