CamNZ Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Greetings my black Templar brethren, I am drawing a blank on a suitably epic crusade name, anyone got any ideas they want to give away? It will be emblazoned with pride across the top of my honor guard banner "Erias's grim visage surveyed his chosen brethren, those who accompanied him into the thick of the fray and brought the emperor's light into the darkest reaches of his rightful domain. He noted the appropriate devotions they gave their wargear. Jump pack intakes were cleaned, chainsword teeth sharpened or replaced all with the quick economical movements of veterans. This was the third year of the Purgatorio crusade, the cleansing of the terranward arm of the maelstrom from the anticullus forgeworld" http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/cameron_wright2/image.jpg1_zpsd2ftiutf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dono1979 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Place, Purpose, Personalities They are three main methods of helping determine a Crusade name. Kildrech Crusade - cleansing the Kildrech System (Place) Golgatha Crusade - reclaim Golgatha (Place) The Vengeance Crusade - Pursuing a Chaos warband (Purpose) Memoria Crusade - reclaiming lost relics (Purpose) Write a little background for your Crusade first, including where they are going, what they are doing and who is involved. From that you can normally come up with some ideas or at least themes and even if you cant, then the brethren can normally help guide you from there.

The first thing that jumped into my mind with this was cleansing fire (Daemons) from both the fiery wrath of the Templars and the Salamanders theme. Not helping with a name at the moment but I reckon some sort of emblem with a flame and incorporating both the Sallies and the Templars similar to the Declates Crusade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castellan Wulfrik Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 You could pick a name related to New Zealand if you're from Christchurch. Kretian Crusade would for example be a name based on a historical battle involving New Zealanders. Crusade of Endeavour named after Captain Cook's ship. Just try and find a name that adds a personal touch to your crusade rather than a generic name that simply sounds cool. Hell, you could add an Imperial Guard Regiment with Maori tattoo's as allies in all black regimental uniform and Union Jack coloured banners.

Arthanor Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Trying to link your crusade with yourself is what I did myself too. I named the crusade from the region I came from, the main world from my hometown. Not just reusing the name, but taking the name and tweaking it. Then it's very easy to get iconography and further names, by just taking inspiration from the real ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamNZ Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have been fairly slack of late but I've got a Land raider most of the way there. I'm thinking 'Zealous' or 'Wrathful' for the land raider, which is a Purging of Lastrati relic (even has the plaque to prove it) http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/cameron_wright2/DSCN2569_zps1d4wlxyw.jpg http://i566.photobucket.com/albums/ss107/cameron_wright2/DSCN2571_zpss93lri2a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamNZ Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've decided to name the land raider "Zealous" I also have a vindicator which is now called "foe bane" after wiping out an ork war boss and all his mega armoured nobs in a single shot. Some tales of heroism have been dutifully written on Zealous. aka those white psuedo writing scribbles shown in previous pictures. I have thought about weathering my Templars but not done anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
