Brother Tyler Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I'm not a fan of the name. "Gunslingers" just doesn't sound like a name that a Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes would incorporate as part of the Chapter name. You can see a listing of Imperial Fists Legion Successors here (both official and unofficial). You shouldn't feel constrained to using similar names, but they provide decent examples that you might draw upon (if you decide not to go with the "Dorn's Gunslingers" name, that is ).

malorn24 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 They are a gun line infantry style Hammer and Anvil tactics. I like guns more than I like melee for an army 38,000 years in the future LOL. But as I am thinking this I may just keep my army a IF army and for fluff have it be a Task Force. And fluff the heck out of it that way. Yeah this game brings out the nerd in me.

Demus Ragnok Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 How about fusiliers. Fusiliers were often line infantry. Modern line infantry are "riflemen". Rifles are guns. You get my drift.

Brother Tyler Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I think he already knows... And in order to not derail malorn24's topic further... Understand that if you really like the "Dorn's Gunslingers" name, it's entirely up to you. Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. However, you don't need the Chapter name to exactly reflect the Chapter's preferred gunline tactic. Alternately, you could look at the functionality of the gunline, which is to provide a wall of fire against the enemies of Mankind. In that, you might draw upon any name that evokes either a defensive (the "wall") or offensive (the "fire"). In this, just about any Chapter name works. Practically speaking, you don't even need the Chapter name to evoke preferred tactics. You could draw upon just about any words that you like and still have a Chapter that prefers a gunline. Realistically, just about any name will do. As for the game bringing out the nerd in you, welcome to the club.

RazorDaemon Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I know its already part of a nickname for the actual Imperial Fists, but what about Sentinels of Dorn?

Brother Tyler Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Or even just "Sentinels." With a star and laurel as the Chapter badge - Gig 'Em!

malorn24 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 Love the picture! And true I think Gunslingers don't really capture the 40k universe. What about Paladins. or is that too GK?

Prefect Apollyon Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Not at all. Remember the Imperial Fist Have produced the Iron Knights and the Black Templars.

Sergeant Lowe Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 this name brings to my mind the image of a marine wearing a ten gallon hat. but in all seriousness as has been stated by others you can call your chapter anything and still have it fight the way you want it to.
