aznsk8s87 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 How about "The Imperial Cavalry"? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Well, if you come up with a bit more fluff, just something a bit more about their character, and paitn scheme. Head across to Liber, and we're usually willing to suggest names and give feedback on chosen names :P Ferrata Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthelm Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 ive decided that im going with an army consisting mainly of assault sqauds due to cost issues the trait advantages are -Blessed be the warriors(May take assualt sqauds as elites and/or fast attack), -No mercy,No respite(Any Tac squad or Assault squad may take furious charge at +3 points per model) The trait disadvantage is -Flesh over Steel As for the paint scheme i was thinking of a sort of mentors look with dark angels green contrasting with a lighter colour And the thing with fluff is that i need a name to decide it so if u guys need anything more ill be glad to help Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 If there's any type of culture your intrested in, that would help as well. Your traits point towards CC so maybe using some violent creature would work, like Sons of the Jackel or something like that. I would find a rough theme to base your fluff and name upon Ferrata Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrata Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Liber Astartes, its the B+C forum for DIY chapters. If your interested in Ancient Egypt, theres a Aegyptus Astartes project, which is a load of chapters based on Ancient Egypt and the Peiond. Their thread can be found below. Nephren is currently working on the latest fluff which is about to be releasedOld Thread The creater, Nephren-ka , will help you fit your chapter in with his fluff and IronLoki will probably help as well. Loki's chapter can be found here. His chapter is Egyption/Greek, or something like that ::cuss: And that is way too much advertising for Loki, so I'm going to go bang my head on a wall for doing bad stuff :P Ferrata Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892187 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelis Mortis Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 My Angels of Retribution are similar to what you are doing. They are all Bikes and Assault Marines. Fluff wise they are a Dark Angel successor whos cadre and influence came heavily from Ravenwing. I used the following traits/disadvantages: Traits Blessed be the Warriors (Assault Troops) Be Swift as the Wind (Bikes) Disadvantages Aspire to Glory (They are faily new, couple centuries) We Stand Alone (fits the fluff and really hurts as I have 6k worth of DH) This list plays awesome! I really love playing it as being able to maneuver on this scale is extremely useful tacticly. As to your question, I would recommend anything using Angel or something that is known for lighting attacks or speed. Examples Archangels Angels of Remorse Avenging Angels Imperial Vipers Death Adders Star Cobras War Weasels (silly but funny, ala Emperor's Pointy Sticks) Snakelords Angels of Destruction Blitz Warriors (this one is ehh...) Heralds of Death Heralds of Destruction Heralds of Doom Warriors of the Apocolypse Bushmasters (its a snake, and a nasty one too) Anacondas Doom Raiders Black Racers (another snake) Black Mambas Sun Snakes Warp Snakes Warp Lords Warp Knights Warp Giants Warp Angels Hope that helps out. EDIT:Just thought of another one thats pretty good. Marauders.

Ahmato Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 For some reason I just keep thinking of 'Monsoon Marines', no idea why, the names that Angelis Mortis gave are quite good, perhaps give them a go :P Ahmato Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznsk8s87 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hm... you could go for "storm"-ish names like "Emperor's Typhoon" or "The Raging Tempests", that sort of thing.

gebann Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I think in regards to getting the name first ,then do the fluff around the name,is kind of putting the cart before the horse ,no? Thats just my take on it. Raven Guard successor would work nicely for your needs by the sounds of it. Loki,sounds like you have made another fan! :P geb Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-892468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthelm Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 Hey guys the ideas so far have been really good im liking wat Angelis Mortis came up with some really good ones(less snakes, dont like them very much) however my paint scheme is in dire need or help any ideas would be great as for doing the fluff after everything else, the details of my army help me think, sorta like an electric charge P.S ironloki im also into norse mythology and mythology in general so if u have any mythology ideas that would be swell Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-893125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 For paint schemes, either chose a colour which you like, thus like to paint, and find which other colours go well with it. Or find a theme and run a colour of that. It would pretty lame to have a "night" themed chapter with white armour, or a "snow" chapter with read armour ::cuss: Norse mythology, shame you can do squads of 13, then you could have done 13th warrior :devil: Well, Thor would fit the fast attack approach. Thus also could mean you use lots of thunder hammers in your army. Sons of Thor im sure has been done to death, so how about another "of Thor" name or even go for his hammers name Ferrata Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-893436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironloki Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 P.S ironloki im also into norse mythology and mythology in general so if u have any mythology ideas that would be swell Bah! sorry I know very little indepth wise of norse mythology. They were mainly beardy folk who liked drinking and having huge hammers (Think Zeus :P ) I suggest taking a look at the space wolves for some norse influence etc I did find a nice norse site one time and i'll see if I can find it for you :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-893463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I used this site for names when I first got into space wolves. http://www.pantheon.org/areas/mythology/eu...e/articles.html Has names with background. I'm sure there are better sites. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-893702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthelm Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 hey guys thanx for all the input ive been doing alot of thinking for the last couple of days and have come up with a bit of info for my armies history basically im thinking that my new chapter(insert name) was a splinter faction of the Raven Guard that split due to the Raven Guard being investigated by the -][-for some reason or another. The chapter master of the Raven Guard asked for one of his captains and his comany along with techmarines,librarians, techmarines etc. to form a chapter of there own which will be supplied tanks, power armour and every thing they need by the Raven Guard without the administratum knowing. This was all arranged by the Raven Guard because they were scared that the Inquisition might destroy the entire chapter so plz tell me wat u guys think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-897646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutt-Man! Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I have a few names ideas, on aggressive and dangerous critters. Black Mamba: Never runs, goes after you, ranks in the 50's for dangerous venom but ranks in the top three because it attacks, and always attacks at around 8-12 miles an hour. Cheetah: Not as aggressive but a loner, like your guys. Fast, ground pounding and uses speed to catch prey from outside the pack, stirring them up and taking advatage of any weaknesses. Tigershark: When there is an attack, it's usualy a TS, they make more percentage of attacks then the three shark attackers ranking behind them. (Almost) Wolverine: They are aggressive, attacking as a form of defence, scaring and pushing them back and if they know they can win, they'll kill. Puma/Cougar/Mountainlion: All the same american cat, they're stalkers not as large as their prey, but in one leap or bound across to the target, they will normally catch their foe offguard and catch them in their neck hold quickly. Jaguar: Strongest bite of all the cats, the only cat that kills its prey by biting into the skull, sometimes splitting them in two or crushing them entirely. They are leapers, rather than runners, creeping into position and with one 8-16 foot leap they land ont heir prey. Relentless attackers until the end. Hope this helps some, I was going to do that fast attack thing, but already decided on shooting army DiY. (their name wouldve been the Decendant Jaguars) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-898024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenthelm Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 thanx for being honest ferrata now thast i tihnk about it it would be a little bit stupid for a chapter to reduce their numbers. But then the question arises is their any non original way for a chapter to be formed as all the ideas i think of are taken somewhere or another. Mutt-Man that lions/cats idea is genius im gonna try and think of a good name maybe something with either wolverine or jaguar in it Oh and as for the paint scheme i was looking at WD 303 or 303 the other day and saw the army by Joe Hill called the Emperors Wrath. the paint scheme is mad and i think i might do a variant of that using dark angels green instead of the red he uses Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-898378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then the question arises is their any non original way for a chapter to be formed as all the ideas i think of are taken somewhere or another. Well, the reason that theres no orignal way for chapters to be formed is that there's only one way, via High Lords of Terra saying "form us a new chapter". The reason they we're created doesnt need to be unique, their actions do.

Quannum Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 I see a swift, attacking, CC force emerging from your posts, mate. And, as you suggested its a splinter faction from the Raven Guard, why not incorporate the name of a bird? Something like: Wings of the Emperor/Imperium Light Hawks Fire Hawks Iron Talons Iron Wings Talons of the Emperor/Imperium Flame Talons Flame Falcons Iron Eagles Flame Wings Rage Hawks or, if you can pull it off....The Thunderbirds......hehe etc. etc. As long as you don't use the name Desert Eagles, because that is my chpater name. Hope this helps! :mellow: Q Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/77537-new-sm-army-need-name/#findComment-900308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
