ArielRSA Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone. I’m working on a homebrew ultramarines successor chapter. I’m just trying to finalize the name. Which do you think is better The Emperor’s Zealots or Zealots of the Emperor. They call themselves the Kanai from Kanai Lemelech HaMalachim which is very bad Hebrew for zealots to the emperor since I’ve subbed in king of kings for emperor since the Hebrew word for emperor sounds like Kaiser, which just sounds weird to me Edited September 27, 2022 by ArielRSA NKirkham24, Gamiel, ShotgunFacelift and 6 others 7 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCE1981 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Not sure if I like ‘Zealots’, going through a few synonyms try Firebrands. The Emperor’s Firebrands or Firebrands of the Emperor. A touch more fitting in the setting I think. Then you can tie in a motto or battlecry using King of Kings into them. Great Paint scheme.

Captain Idaho Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 What sort of character would you like their theme to lean upon? Quasi-religious feelings or the more clinically Ultramarine Imperial Truth types? Following the theme you've already established, maybe sub the word Zealot (which is direct and specific) for something more indirect and poetic, to take the hard edge off any analogy to fervent crusaders? So the Ardent Companions, could be a way of implying a fanatical follower of the Emperor but has enough wiggle room to be the thinking Marine's zealot? Anyway, that's a nice colour scheme! For the 500 Worlds! What's your plans on their galaxy location and other fluff tie ins to the Great Primarch? ArielRSA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamiel Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 If you take alternative suggestions could Star of Ultramar, Sons of David, Shield/s of David, or Shield/s of Ultramar work well based on your symbol.

There's not a lot of synonyms for Zealot that really work but sidestep seems to be what you and CCE1981 suggest. I could make this work by doing what the Space Wolves do where there's what they and the people on their planet call themselves and what there name is in Imperial Gothic. Something like Ardent Stars as Gamliel suggests and the Kanai to themselves and the locals. Need to workshop it. 5 hours ago, Captain Idaho said: What's your plans on their galaxy location and other fluff tie ins to the Great Primarch? Haven't gotten this far yet besides Imperium Nihilus and two camps where there's a majority that are super stoked about it and a small minority who don't believe it since no one's actually seen him in person CCE1981 and Captain Idaho 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Arkley Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 They do look fantastic. As for the name I like it, I did the same for a DA event. So go for it. ArielRSA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yeah ain't nothing wrong with your names! The Emperor's Zealots would be a nice twist on Ultramarines genetic lines. CCE1981 and ArielRSA 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Love it! They look great, and I love the vibe. Keep it up! :D ArielRSA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Lunkhead Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The Emperor's Zealots fits very well as a chapter name in the 40Kverse. and it flows better of the tongue than The Zealots of the Emperor. Very fine work on your models there Brother Very clean and simple as a zealot should be. The SoD with the Agemo at the center works quite nicely for the Chapter heraldry too. Great job ArielRSA 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 So what's next for your painting desk? Now you've shown us your models we want more! Especially as you've chosen a difficult scheme to pull off but managed it superbly. BLACK BLΠFLY and ArielRSA 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted a break from the white and while I was originally going to do the next squad of heavy intercessors the thought of painting another 5 gravis models put me into a fugue state (they'll still be next though) I do keep track of most of my painting here as well: https://imgur.com/user/ArielRSA Brother Lunkhead and Captain Idaho 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArielRSA Posted March 26, 2023 Author Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Primaris company champion/blade guard veteran. Realized I didn’t want to edge highlight 5 heavy intercessors so did this instead. Tried to push myself. Going for a different colour scheme for first company.

ArielRSA Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Bit of an update. If decided to go with The Emperor’s Zealots who are an ultramarines successor. Homeworld is called Yavneh and is Imperium Nihilus side. Haven’t decided yet if it’s to be abandoned and the chapter and planets population relocated. The chapter is codex compliant. Founding records are lost but it’s known to be between the 4th and 8th founding Yavneh is located in a sector with several other worlds, defended by themselves, a salamanders successor (name TBD and ultimata founding from the Custodes fleet torchbearer fleet that brought primaris) and a knight household. Guard and PDF are present as well. No local forge world in sector but there is one some distance away so equipment resupply is intermittent but possible. Contact with most imperial organs and Imperium Sanctus is extremely limited. The recordings of Guilliman and any official documents signed by him provided by the Custodes are treated as chapter relics. The chapter symbol is a navy blue Star of David with a navy blue Agemo in the center of the star. Chapter colors are white with gold accents on the shoulder pads were present. Company color is represented on the Aquila/winged skull or similar devices. So third company would have red Aquilas and skulls, second would have gold ones etc. Weapon casings are blue The exception to this is the first company (the Sikarim) who wear black armor with white trim/Aquila etc except for the left shoulder pad which remains white with gold trim. On that note I’m looking for advice on my iron halos. Do you think they’d look better as gold or white? Gold would be like on the mini currently and white would be done NMM like the champion posted above. Thanks!
