Olis Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 It has been a very, very long time since I first dreamt my first DIY chapter, the Emperor's Blood. I sit here and look at my chapter, revisited after so, soooo long and realise the name is a bit... guff. Sure, I could have them refer to themselves as such from time to time (perhaps some sentimental attachment is figuring into this, too) but as a name for a chapter? It's not good enough. They are pragmatic sons of Dorn, not wishy washy Ecclesiarchal lackeys. With that in mind I figured I would rename them. But rename them to what? The knightly theme is strongly attractive, if somewhat over done. I'm partial to the eagle's head - similar to the Consul's iconography. So perhaps the name could be Imperial-centric? But then... that's overdone too. Eagles Adamant? Nah. Knights of Dorn? Not exactly original (already taken, in fact). Apotheosists? Er... I said no to the Ecclesiarchy rubbish, brain. Marines Defiant? Marines Valiant? I don't know about those. Honestly I don't. So, here's my dilemma. I have an old chapter name I need to replace and I'm being indecisive about it. Any suggestions?

GrandMagnus Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well, I named my knightly sons of dorn DIY chapter the "Sword Brethren". I never managed to do anything with it so if you like it feel free to take it. EDIT: Well, actually sword brethren is the short way of calling them. The full name for the chapter I had thought of was "Order of the Brothers of the Sword". Its just very long, but inspired on the "Christ Knights" that fought alongside the teutonic order.

Demus Ragnok Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I read Emperor's Blood and thought blood=legacy, and then arrived at Inheritors. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I read Emperor's Blood and thought blood=legacy, and then arrived at Inheritors. That's a good one Especially if they are typical sons of Dorn Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 + 1 to inheritors! Since they are dorn, you can maybe have it reference to the siege. Brothers of the Gate perhaps? Order of the Emperor? Or maybe they can be something as simple as Brothers Nobel Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Eremon Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I read Emperor's Blood and thought blood=legacy, and then arrived at Inheritors. That's a good one Especially if they are typical sons of Dorn I am also kind of fond of the name Inheritors. It's got a nice feel to it. Plus, you'll be able to give your Chapter Master the title of Hierarch. Edit: If you don't want to go through with that name (in which case shame on you and your ancestry!and thank you because it'll let me use it for my Imperial Dragons), I'd be glad to try and throw other examples if you could provide a link to their article, or if they don't have one give us some more information on their character?

Ace Debonair Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Let's see.... How about: Swords of Dorn/Honour/Virtue Steel Crusaders/Knights/Champions The Throneguard Crusaders/Knights/Champions Indomitable or Ironbreakers (take that, Iron Warriors! ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veteran Sergeant Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The Knights of Fisting. ;)Actually, I really like Inheritors. One word names are quite underused, and it also has the advantage of not sounding too derivative.

Messor Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'd also vote for Inheritors. Castellans Eternal/Eternal Castellans is also a cool option. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Inheritors. Inheritors. Hmm. Despite the strange connotations my brain is making between the name and Heritor Asphodel, it seems like a strong choice. That said, Ironbreakers is also strong, if a little caricaturish. As for an article on the chapter... they had a fairly rubbish one about ten years ago. They'll have to grace the halls of the Liber again at some point, I suppose. ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288937-renaming-my-chapter/#findComment-3640830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywire Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Some suggestions of my own... Guardian Eagles Wardens of Dorn (Or, for lol-pun, Dawn Wardens) Preceptors (For that Knightly twist to tie in with Warhammer FB if you so choose. <.<; ) What colours do they bear on their armour? Could help with further name suggestions along the line.

Haywire Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ah. All of a sudden, I got the mental image of them going all, "Kali'mah!" on traitors, heretics, and aliens. xD So, the Heart Takers!

Olis Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Alright brothers, 'tis time: The decision has been made, it cannot be undone. The Emperor's Blood are no more! Long live the Inheritors!
