The Scarlet Cardinals or the Red Cardinals don't sound too bad.

 

I immediately thought of the bird (as seen below) and a certain particular sports team when I read those. I don't know why - I'm not into most sports, let alone American ones. :P

I like the Red Cardinals, but if it shares the name of a sports team, perhaps not.

The team is called the (Saint Louis) Cardinals and that bird is their emblem/mascot. That's where I made the connection.

I've been playing around with the Space Marine painter and I've come up with this colour scheme. Could it work ?

Great! Though we might want to check to see if SlaveToDarkness is alright with his chapter being the betrayers, or, indeed, if everybody else is.

 

 

I'm alive!!! Yes I'm fine with that, more than fine actually. 

 

That was a lot of posts to go through, and I'm feeling a bit rough atm (slept for 16 hours and woke up with the room spinning) so I dont really fancy reading through all that, basically what have I missed, whats new etc??

Look, if GW can get away with Lion El'Jonson, I reckon we can get away with that tenuous connection! :tongue.:

 

It's alright brother, it wasn't an objection. ;)

Looks functional to me. Not too sure about the robes, though.

Let's see... we're still deciding on the name for the unnamed BA Chapter, we've mostly provided details for our own Chapters that can be found in the OP and we're fleshing out the original Wardens (it's mostly names for that, too).

How early are you willing to make your warband? I suggested that it could have been one of the original chapters that founded the Grail wardens. Way later a chapter betrays the Grail Warden (it could have fallen to chaos before that, and we just not know), and takes the Grail. That sets the events in motion where I bring in the other, newer chapters

Everything is better with robes.

Awesome, glad we're finally able to set that in stone. Glad you like it. I think it's an awesome background, personally.

Not the Red Cardinals then? Even if their battlecry was chirping/football (handegg) chants?

I think it's close, if it's not the one.

 

Looks like it's a toss up between 'Crimson' and 'Red', to me.

I don't know about Crimson. The aliteration and the syllable count aren't working for me.

 

Seemed to work for this guy. :P

Do you have a file on your computer filled with pictures for every occasion? Because I can think of no other way you could find all of these except magic. :p

 

EDIT: I got heads. I don't know what it means, but I got it.

I've got a good memory and I know my way around Google image search. ;)

Alright, I will flip.

 

Heads for Crimson Cardinals, Tails for Carmine Cardinals.

 

Does that sound good?

 

If you want me to, I can PM you all a snap chat name or whatever, and we can watch the coin flip live. 

 

(If not, I got tails. Olis might want to do the real flip though, I trust him!)
