Maladon Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 just as the the topic title says- Black armoured Ultramarines.... though only in geneseed only... mainly because I like the U heraldry from the decals and I have a serious lot of them... Name ideas I had were this- Sons of Ultramar, or Ultralegion(cheesy name I know) or even some other name but using the ultramarines decals.... Major Divergent chapter from the Codex- Advantages- See, but not seen(possibly mis written), Suffer not the works of heretics. Disadvantages- eye to eye, faithful until death! black armour with gold aquilla, with codex company markings and for veterans. but I'm at a impass for a name... I have fluff in mind but finding the time to tranlate to paper or computer is not there right now.

Vodunius Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 yes Ultralegion is just totally bad.. but i rather like Sons of Ultramar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1002128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Master Belial Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 This sounds like the Black Consuls in color scheme. If you were just going to use the Decals, I can suggest inverting the U back into an Omega sign. Then you would have a Black Omega Chapter. (And if you have a Babylon 5 fan for an opponent, you can use them as Grey Knights :D ) The inversion also opens up a lot more naming ideas. Otherwise, you will have to look through the dictionary for words starting with U. Undermarines? Ubermarines? Ursa Legion ? Astartes United? Marines of Unity Utility Marines If you like hoods - Utinni (Jawa) Marines (UTINNI!) If you want to be silly - Marines in Underpants :devil: ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1002133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 When I feel I have difficulty with a name (It happens often), it helps me to write out some of their fluff and see if a name doesn't jump out at me. Generally I get some kind of inspiration, but if not it's a good idea to post the fluff here and share that information with a lot of other people. It's a good bet that out of everyone here tossing out ideas, one of them will be something you like, or will be a jump-off point to get to something you like. So, if you're having trouble with a name, give us some of their fluff! Also, perhaps try to duplicate their scheme on the GW painter and post that here, as that also gives a bit of visual aid. Off the top of my head, though: Ebon Hawks Shadows of Ultramar New Moons That's all I got for now. As you can see, I'm no good at names either.

Maladon Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 I did consider a Babylon 5 theme space marine chapter- the Black Omega squadron from psicorps.. or more to the point the Black omega space marine chapter.

Vodunius Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 i'd avoid Black Omega.. since there is already the Omega Marines chapter, which is half-black with a white omega as its symbol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1002258 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Alternatively ... consider putting the omega on it's side! (zomg) Now it's a stylized "C" which opens up some more possibilities for names. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1002262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Alternatively ... consider putting the omega on it's side! (zomg) Now it's a stylized "C" which opens up some more possibilities for names. :) For example, 'The Centurions', working from the Latin 'C' meaning '100'... the Brotherhood of a Thousand have a stylised 'M'.

Mrph45 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 U is such a limited letter, heres a few. The Uniters of Gulliman The Unforgiven (hmmm why does that sound familiar? :) ) The Usurpers Knights of Maladon has a nice ring I do like the Grandmasters Ursa Legion idea The Unknown Legion Black Unicorns (kinda lame, but who knows) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1002269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrata Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Like Darrell said, if your struggling with a name, start writting their fluff, and their name should jump out at you. If your still stuck, then come and ask us. Try think about what makes these marines tick? Are they religious fanatics, honourable warriors, sneaky veterans?

feuer_faust Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 It was the Liber Astartes done by Kurgan; dunno if it's back up yet after TheWarp.net hit it. As for your black and gold marines.... Black Legion? <_< Shadows of Ultramar. Vindicators of Ultramar. Guillaman's Fury. Seige Lords of Macragge. Black Steel Chapter.

Skjold Bloodmaw Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I had once planned to do a DIY chapter of black and gold. I was still new to the hobby, so didn't know much about fluff, but I was planning to use; The Black Sigil or The Shadow Progeny Feel free to steal either one. Edit: Further, you could put a Blood Angel spin and go Coterie of Shadow. (Coterie being a group of Vampires in Vampire: The Masquerade) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/86565-diy-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1003336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
