Icarus the Great Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I've started painting some new marines for a chapter but I need helf coming up with some stuff. They are the same marines in my Avatar and Signature. Here's what i've got so far: Their fortress monistary is located on a forge world in the galactic south. Mainly fight tyrnids Successor of the Iron hands Many bionics and advanced technology colours of red and blue, details in green and black binary star system 5 moons, very fertile Hostile world of Dorn where marines train and take recruits anything to add? Homeworld name? I also need a chapter name. I've come up with a couple key words: red Cenchurion steel iron knights templars crusaders sons brothers I'll add too this list more later on, I can't seem to find my page... Comeing up with Iconography should be easy once I have a name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Sons of the Steel templar Thats my suggestion for chapter name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 The Iron Crusaders - now thats a sweet name :blush: As for other info what founding are they? Are they a young or old chapter? Are they mysterious, secretive, open? - I think th attitude of the chapter tells people a great deal Just some things to help you expand. Also for a homeworld name if your going iron hands way how about looking at names of metals? Or perhaps latin versions for inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muras Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Brothers of the Red Steel struck my fancy based on your key words. Good luck with the chapter, keep us updated! -Pred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ragnarok Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Brothers of the Red Steel struck my fancy based on your key words.

Ferrata Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Sons of Steel has a nice ring to it, or maybe that just me. Wonder what tyranids do when they fight things which are more metal the flesh, like necrons, they can really eat that, can they? You might want to look at the combat doctrine to see what kind of name feels right. Having a nice close combat name for a shooty army would work.

Derek Shiv Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Possibly, THE GIANT RED FLY SWATTERS OF THE EMPEROR. Yeah, time to stop sniffing paint and glue while modeling. Anywhichway(duck, witchhunter!), a little more information might be nice. Also, try not thinking about it for a couple of days, and meditate(in my case, think about dinosaurs, wolves, anything cool for fifteen minutes straight) frequently. This usually results in an explosion of pure creativity for the next week. I also use this technique for the short stories and many books I am writing, and my fluff. It is a little odd, and my family kinda gets a little ticked at my detached nature, but it works very well for me. -Derek ps. I thought up a new race for this game doing that, but what I really wanted to do was figure out how to use what I had lying arounf the house to make weapons and vehicles. Shows how crazy the results can be sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Keep it simple. Red Steel. Context that with the main Chapters. The Red Steel Chapter --- The Blood Angels Chapter --- The Ultramarines Chapter. Red Steel Chapter --- Blood Angels Chapter --- Ultramarines Chapter Red Steel --- Blood Angels --- Ultramarines This exercise was to show that what is in the name is VERY important to DIYC. Whatever name you rest upon should look good too. Yeah ... :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus the Great Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 yeah, i agree with something short. what do you guys think of: red skulls iron skulls iron knights grim crusaders blood warriors more fluf: not really young, but not ancient, have 5 dreads i still need alot of help with the fluff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 We really could do with some attitude of the chapter. Of that list I think Iron Skulls sounds best, even too good it could be a chapter already. Ferrata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebann Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Ferrata you could well be right. I've heard that name before I'm sure. So...what was wrong with Red Steel? I kind of liked that. geb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Red Steel I think the reason that its doesnt sound right, for me anyway, that like many other chapter names it is descriptive. Such as Blood Angels, or Space Wolves. These require an adverb (I think thats the right term, forgot my english :blink: A descriptive word?) and a Noun. So Blood being the adverb and Angels being the noun. Red is an adverb, it would describe the noun. But steel is the problem. The noun steel is just a piece of metal, which doesnt seem right for a Space Marine army. Steel fits more into the adverb section. So its Like calling a chapter Space Blood, might sound ok, but doesnt fit for a chapter. Ferrata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDante Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 red Cenchurion steel iron knights templars crusaders sons brothers What about... The Red Sons of steel and iron composites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Well we could all rattle of names to our content but not only should it reflect perhaps the fluff or style and character of the chapter but it should come from you. You will never be happy unless you decide upon it yourself. I sound like a hippy but you have to walk through the door - we can only show you the way (aka give you ideas ) otherwise it will mean nothing to you :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebann Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ahhhhhhhhhhh....now you have come to the path Grasshopper...errrr,I mean Loki! Hehehe Ferrata ,your expose on the use of :nouns,verbs and adjectives have truely inspired me to walk through the door... So...how about "Bloody Red Running Steel Guys"...huh...huh? Come on work with me here guys... :blink: I mean ya got adjectives,verbs... seriously I think these fellows have given you sage advice. It does in the end have to be your choice ,or you'll never really think of it as your own. geb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ferrata ,your expose on the use of :nouns,verbs and adjectives have truely inspired me to walk through the door... Its been a while since I did english, even longer since I learnt the word types. :blink: Science is so much more fun, so I might have go the words the wrong way round.

Icarus the Great Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 The Red Sons of steel and iron composites?terrible. too long. I think these fellows have given you sage advice. I agree.

Ferrata Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 The Red Sons of steel and iron composites?I do believe that was a joke ^_^ I'm still stuck on fluf. That stuff is way harder than I thought.

Icarus the Great Posted July 7, 2005 Author Share Posted July 7, 2005 Ok, its taken me awhile, but ive finally come up with some good fluff. -They are a Raven Guard Successor. Upon leaving the chapter, they took up a new fighting style, seeing steath as cowardice. They now prefer a frontal assult. -Moved south to fight the tyrnid menice. -They took up a forge world as their homeworld. The polluted air means that there are few suitable recruits. Because of the avalibility of technology, this also means that many recruits are brought back to service with bionics, and heavy tanks are also avalible. (I will include at least 1 vindicator in the armylist.) Advantages: take the fight to them, sicons of mars Dissadvantages: have faith in your colours, eye to eye so, what do you think? Im still stuck on a name. Is The Knights Templar already used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Knights Templar is far too close to the Templars especially as that is the order they are based on :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 So...what was wrong with Red Steel?I kind of liked that. geb <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are an Iron Hands successor? So steel would be a good pun on the name. To me Red Steel sounds a bit like a deodourant ad!!!

Grand Master Belial Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 I've started painting some new marines for a chapter but I need helf coming up with some stuff. They are the same marines in my Avatar and Signature. Here's what i've got so far: Their fortress monistary is located on a forge world in the galactic south. anything to add? Homeworld name? I also need a chapter name. I've come up with a couple key words: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Adamantine Knights Ferrous Knights (Iron Knights) Redsmiths (play on blacksmiths) Red Forgers Forgers of Steel/Iron Red Blades Emperor's Forgers Smithies of the Emperor Ironbound Homeworld Names Quarrius Prima Sangedon Magnus Minas Volcarium Gharloch Tesudelif (I just mashed a few keys and made a name out of it.) Farhaufen (Same as above) Bethlehem (Named after and American company in Pennsylvania - Bethlehem Steel) Additional Fluff: Due to the recent battles with Tyranids, it was found by the chapter that the Tyranids typically avoided the mechanical and only attacked the organic. The most augmented brothers tended to be ignored more than the less augmented. Since then, more brothers have gone on to far more augmented than even their parent chapter. Being stationed on a Forge World, they have more access to Master-Crafted wepons and easily replace vehicles/armour lost in battle. Have a higher number of vehicles if not totally mechanized. Higher number of Dreadnoughts, truly great heroes are interred alive into a Dreadnought to preserve their prowess and knowledge. A higher honor than Terminator status. Scouts are cycled to the Forge World to improve and reinforced their knowledge of the Adeptus Mechanicus. As such, their skills as infiltrators are not very strong.
