Bishoujo Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I want to start building some fluff for my new sisters army, but I need a name first. Unfortunately, I'm coming up blank. I need help! I need inspiration! The only thing I could decide on was my paint scheme. I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions! Here's my first squad: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291696-help-me-name-my-minor-order/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Do they have a symbol yet? That might help influence the naming process. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291696-help-me-name-my-minor-order/#findComment-3702506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 ...In addition, you might consider looking at the Tabula Sororitas and the Liber Sororitas Ordos Minoris to see examples of names that other players have used for their DIY orders as well as the canon orders.

Naminé Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Wow we have some great painters working on sisters models! Loving the white cloth. As for a name, what is the whole order's outlook? What is their creed. Why were they created or have they fought any particularly serious campaigns? All of these can help come up with a name idea. For example, an order that was created to spread the word of the emperor to the galaxy's most troubled and dangerous worlds could be called 'the Order of the True Voice' or something like that, whilst an order which has fought against Xenos infestation might be known as 'Order of the Clensing Light'. If I were to just go with your paint scheme and run with it, my personal idea would be 'Order of the Staunch Soul'. They are an order who specialise in defensive battles and particularly in resisting the foul sorceries of the Eldar.

*Furyou Miko Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 A place to start might be to decide where the Order's colours arise from. White, for example, can mean; Purity Virginity Life Good Death Innocence While Red can mean; Blood Fire Danger Passion Birth Righteous Rulership Bronze can be; War Artifice Ingenuity.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Personally if I was you I would look up all the existing orders, decide which yours came down the line from and make a name combo based off their name and a theme in your army. E.G. Order of The Argent Flame. Got to ask though, I have seen those bases before but no clue where they are from. Where did you pick them up?

Bishoujo Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Thanks everyone for the good feedback. I'll do some homework based on the suggestions given. @Duke Danse Macabre - The bases are from Dragonforge. Specifically their Sanctuary set.

Duke Danse Macabre Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Cheers mate, I always love thematic bases. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291696-help-me-name-my-minor-order/#findComment-3705612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpediem Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Give me some background and a general feel and I'll see what I can't come up with. Meantimes: - Order of the Cleansing Fire. - Order of the Burning Blade (because, seriously, that flaming great broadsword the Emperor carries around never gets any reference in canon; if it's still in Imperial hands it ought to be a relic of importance roughly equivalent to the True Cross in Christianity). - Order of the Holy Blood. - Order of St. Agnes Martyr. Given the buttons (dots?) painted on their robes though there is a part of me that wants to call them the Order of the Immaculate Lab-coat.

*Furyou Miko Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 lol. Those are moulded on, Carpe. They're part of the models. :D Although no Sister on the battlefield wears their robes buttoned (for obvious reasons), they are designed to be worn as a fully encircling skirt, except for the ones the Seraphim wear. Personally, in my headcanon, the Ardent Blade that Celestine carries is the Emperor's flaming broadsword.
