Phiasco Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So I love Blood Angels, always will. But Alpha Legion has my favorite color scheme by far. So I'll be painting me some blue angels. The question is, do I call my successor chapter Angels Azure or Angels Cerulean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Of those two, Angels Azure. I like alliterations. You might not want to focus so much on the colour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Both are strong names but, like Quixus, I like alliterations. Angels Azure sounds pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I quite like Angel's Cerulean :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 On that note, what about "Vesperis Vertutis", which is Latin for "Angels of the Evening" / "Angelic Host of the Evening" with the kicker that Vertutis can also mean army. It ties in angels, connotations with the colour blue (through evening), the renaissance theme, the army theme, and has alliteration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Seraphim Cerul? I think Angels Azure works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Angels Azure, I think, sounds better... you could even keep the "A" from the original Alpha Legion, just add wings! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiasco Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Angels Azure, I think, sounds better... you could even keep the "A" from the original Alpha Legion, just add wings! :D I feel like I should have thought about that before. That's a great idea, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I feel like Azure Angels sounds more 'right' than Angels Azure from a grammatic stand point. The alliterative quality of the name makes it superior to Angels Cerulean imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I feel like Azure Angels sounds more 'right' than Angels Azure from a grammatic stand point. In contemporary English you put the adjective in front of the noun, but that was not always the case. In some expressions like knight errant, Marines Malevolent etc. we still put the adjective behind the noun. I think for a proper name, either position is fine.

Closet Skeleton Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Angels Cerulean fits in better with other chapters. None of the standard BA successors are alliterative. Azure Angels sounds more normal than Angels Azure but not like a Space Marine chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phiasco Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 I feel like Azure Angels sounds more 'right' than Angels Azure from a grammatic stand point. The alliterative quality of the name makes it superior to Angels Cerulean imo. But not with how we do things: Angels sanguine, angels encarmine, angels vermillion... You know, now that you mention Angels Sanguine, Angels Encarmine, Angels Vermillion, etc, I feel like Angels Cerulean may fit better with the established nomenclature.

Nomus Sardauk Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If Cerulean is a bit to boring or obvious for you, Google translator gives a latin translation of blue as Caeruleus, meaning blue, dark blue, dark, azure, sky blue, blue-black. Similarly, is azure doesn't quite sound right for you, blue in Spanish is Azul, so it would be Angels Azul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
