Although horizontal would fit more with the general theme of patriot marines. My suggestion is that they have a campaign banner with the seal based iconography, (quick we need to compose fluff). Also I think a chapter banner that is the American flag but with a few more stars (all the stars in the cluster/imperium and on a black background) could be interesting as the rest of the heraldry still fits.

While doing something similar to the Presidential seal would be awesome, I don't think that is something I'd be easily able to recreate when I set about making the Eagles a tabletop force. I have also thought of using the Eagle shoulderpad that comes with the SM commander box as my chapter symbol.

 

Another thing, I have not the technical skill to do so, but I intend to make the shoulder pads red and white striped. I am undecided whether it sould be vertical or horizontal as of yet.

 

Ah yes that reminds me! I put forward earlier that I had an idea that Eagle Veterans or Sergeants wore helmets that were painted red-with-a-white-stripe/white-with-a-red-stripe to further reinforce the whole "stars & stripes" look, what do you think of the idea?

That's what I was thinking, I just had the thought that I could make the stripes symbolic of something. Like perhaps the battle brother gains a stripe for each decade or so of service. But if I did that then I feel it would be better represented starting down at the bottom of the se... greave and working my way up to symbolise a battle brother's experience, veteran members having their entire lower body striped possibly.

I think that would look pretty nice!

I'm just tossing ideas here that I may develop later, or someone else can use them:

 

-An Imperial Guard regiment tithed from a world ruled by megacorps, which makes heavy use of "shackled psyker" technology in its battles. (Based off the Blue Suns and Subject Zero from Mass Effect 2).

 

-A regiment that relies on lizardlike abhumans to fight and win its battles (British Raj, Necromunda Scalies, Ogryn/Bullgryns, and those Argonians Cormac put in my head).

 

-A regiment in lorica armor that relies on brutal discipline and melee combat in battle. (Caesar's Legion IIIIINNN SPAAACE!)

 

-A Hive World Regiment specialising in (duh!) urban combat based on James Cagney and the Godfather.

 

-An Inquisitor who is like every parody of clueless Imperial nobility ever, and keeps some form of feline based combat servitor with him at all times (in models from lapkitten to sabre tooth tiger). His demeanor is utterly at odds with his list of successes, and many assume that his idiot fop persona is a disguise for a cunning intellect.

 

They are wrong, the real reason for his track record is his family manservant, who was sent along with the Young Master when the family spent an ungodly amount of wealth to buy him his rosette.

Wow, that's a lot of awesome ideas for one post Wade. :sweat:

 

That first regiment idea could fit well with Videngeim, if you want to toss a little Shinra/SOLDIER into the mix.

 

SOLDIER... Imperial Guard...

As a side note, though famed for their combat efficiency I have a strong suspicion the regiment would be more infamous for their extremely non-regulation hairstyles and ridiculously-proportioned melee weapons. :laugh.:

Alright I'll see what I can do, just to clarify, here's the ones I have so far for banners. I'll edit the post if any changes need to be made:

 

Scarlet Sentinels – "Through blood we are cleansed"-grail/goblet

Conflagrators – “Purity by Fire!” – Candle

The Eagles of Glory – “One Imperium, under the Emperor!” - 

 Doomsayers -  "We Bring Your Doom" -  an open book with an open mouthed skull on top for the logo 

THE LORDS INVIOLATE - "By Blood Bound" - 

THE SONS OF CALDERON - "We stand in ironclad!" - 

Blackjaw Kindred - "FOR THE NINE!" - A set of black fangs, crooked up in a grin

 

 

As a note, it goes Chapter Name, Motto then a description of their badge. Cheers

A regiment based on Final Fantasy VII...from the planet Videngeim. Viden Geim.

 

This is coming from someone that tried to make a Bertie & Jeeves Inquisitor and Soviet Union Iron Warriors, but daaaaaang.

Hey, it was much more subtle when it was just a hive city kinda sorta based off Midgar. Edited by Cormac Airt

Butlers, there's always more to them than there seems.

Just remember, if he is too ineffectual Cotem (Istvaanian and all) might purge him for heresy.:wink:

That would leave him with a hypercompetent former ganger turned butler turned de facto leader of an Inquisitorial retinue out for his scalp, though. And I wouldn't bet against Mahiates.

 

Cormac: Well, a slight change to the planet's name would shut me up. Velmghart, maybe?

 

As long as they don't end up fighting an insane Genestealer Patriarch who only wants to bring his "Mother" home to the planet.

 

Blackjaw Kindred Chapter Symbol and motto:

A set of black fangs, crooked up in a grin

"FOR THE NINE!". Usually intermingled with personalized mottos for different squads and Circles.

 

Ex: "For home and hearth!" = Second Circle

I'm all for a regiment that's officers are augmented by the Saneslau Mechanicus (I'd say things like glands and bionics will do fine - we don't want to be too obvious). I also see a regiment (probably Cadian-esque, perhaps in the same vein as the FW hazard gear units) that uses autoguns and wears blue. 

 

Both the Sons and the Lords have mottos, but no symbols. I'm always terrible with that, and usually just use pre-existing symbols. Open to suggestions.

 

For the Lords, I imagine a shield (not unlike that of the Praetors of Orpheus), but what exactly to have on the shield is a little beyond me atm. My thinking comes from the name itself, going from 'Inviolate' to 'unbreakable', to 'shield'.

 

For the Sons, I suggest a symbol with bearing on exploration or the void - maybe (in relation to sailing, the sea and the like) a trident?

A trident doesn't really fit the Sons...crossed falxes in front of a compass or ship's wheel, maybe?

 

@Brotastic:

Now I'm imagining it as almost like a Blackstone Fortress powered by pure Nurgle. Definitely a problem for Battlefleet...whatever we're going to call it.

If they need bionics, there is only one magos to go to. Friederich Wilder. 

 

"My name is Vieldur!"

 

"And do you pronounce it Froedrik"

 

"No, it's Friederich"

 

"Hmmm."

First off, love the banner. Excellent job there! :tu:

 

Next, I have come to a number of conclusions as I somehow continue to write more and more on the Serreiki Lions:

 

First, I am an admitted hardline fan of the Sabbat Crusade book and Tanith Series.

 

Second, the writings in those books of the wild and varied forces arrayed against the Crusade, such as the Blood Pact, Sons of Sek, and more beyond, has heavily colored my writings.

 

Third, I may be going a bit overboard because of this. The Lions are swiftly turning from a small warbard of "Yarr, ahoy!" pirates, into a sprawling and violently dangerous collection of warlords and their professional and combat efficient armies, united in blood and fire under the Lion's banner. I'm hoping to post this monster of a 'mission briefing' tonight, so y'all can see how deep my madness goes, but thou hast been warned.... it might be a bit too much.... :confused:
