Severus6 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 "Angels Crimson or The Tears of Sanguinius/ Sanguine Tears" Sanguine Tears,...of those three, has got my vote. Based on what ever background you have, that could change. Blood Guard Crimson Guard Crimson Retainers Just a few thoughts, hope they help.

refuse Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Blood Guard That sounds cool. And could be worked into the fluff. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87135-new-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1008953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Though if you chose 'Sanguine Tears' you could work in some of the fluff regarding the Emperor's Tears... depending on how you want to theme your army.

Aurelius Rex Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 We really need to know a lot more about the background of your chapter before we can give a properly informed opinion on a name. What else do you have? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87135-new-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1009240 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemal Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 How about something along the lines of a bike-heavy chapter? Maybe something like the Blooded Lancers or something similar? Ift they were stationed to specifically take on an Empire led by Ork Speed Freaks, then that would be an appropriate response..

Hemal Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 How's this: Astartes File Index ++CLASSIFIED++ Authorisation code required: ++XXXXXXXXX++ ...5 seconds before termination ...4 seconds before termination ...3 seconds before termination ++Authorisation accepted++ ++Welcome Inquisitor Rearden++ ++Chapter++ Blood Lancers ++Heraldic Markings++ Winged spear on a field of red Armour predominantly red ++Imperial colour tone 456-31 appears closest match++ Specific squad markings including flaming skulls have been observed on battlefield units ++Genetic Heritage++ Unknown - postulated Blood Angels successor ++Founding++ >>File not found...searching ++Homeworld++ >>File not found...searching ++Tenets++ >>File not found...searching ++Combat Protocols++ The Blood Lancers Chapter of the Adeptus Astartes has been observed as of late <xref Battle for Kalonia-IV - BatRep M40.945.SP.G> as having adopted a highly mobile form of warfare, more so than is traditionally required by the Codex Astartes. The Battle Brothers of the chapter excel in hit-and-fade raids and high speed pursuits of enemy units, especially using the Astartes pattern combat bike, assault bike and the ubiquitous Land Speeder. The type of warfare exhibited by this chapter seems to be somewhat inspired by their principle enemy, the Orks from the Empire of <++CLASSIFIED++> who are led by the Warlords <++CLASSIFIED++> These Orks have plagued the <++CLASSIFIED++> system for many thousands of years, with conventional Guard and the locally stationed Titan legions only able to deal effecively with the heavy elements such as Battle Fortresses and Gargants, and hence limiting the damage the Orks could do to Imperial infrastructure, rather than lead the fight against them. The preponderance of Orks in this part of the Empire are from the Evil Sunz clan, and hence there is a highly developed Kult of Speed in this sector, something which I am afraid that the Guard and Adeptus Titanicus units are ill equipped to deal with. Numerous purges involving Crusading forces from the Black Templars, the White Panthers and the Storm Giants Chapters have limited the growth, but never completely wiped out the hold on Imperial space. The White Scars practice of mobile warfare appears to have been the most effective form of dealing with the menace, the ability of the Sons of the Khan to put onto the field large numbers of highly capabale assault forces in the form of dragoon-type units and assault jump-pack infantry was well able to match the manouvres of the opposing Orks. The Blood Lancers, formed originally along the lines of Codex chapter, have evidently taken on board many of the teachings of teh Khan, often to the point of being severely hampered when asked to perform more mundane missions expected of teh Astertes. The Chapter maintains several companies of mobile reserve troops, mainly tactical squads mounted in Razorbacks, along with the Codex Devestator company, but the battle companies appear to be deployed in the main on bikes, speeders or assault units.

Severus6 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Nice Hemal, very nice. The beauty of that is, you could go completely Codex and not accumulate any disadvantages. Then again, lots of ways to tool that idea up and turn it into a pack of lions screaming across some alien wasteland,...

Hemal Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Exactly - the problem with the "traits" system is that people now theme their army aaround teh traits rather than theming the background of the army first then "picking" the traits. For most armies, pure Codex or slight divergence would be more than playable..

the-betrayer Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 If its going to be a BA sucssesor, you'll need to fit the black rage in there some where.

Severus6 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 That is not necessarily true,...you could have them as a supposed offshoot or the the Black Rage doesnt affect them. Then again they wouldnt get the advantages either,...sort of like a "Lamenters Lite".

Commissar Molotov Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Funny how many Blood Angels chapters are suddenly appearing without the Black Rage. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87135-new-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1011836 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 The Black Rage doesn't have to be "modelled" in the same way as other things - the Black Rage could be controlled through stimms or some other device which is detrimental to the marines, but they may not be as afflicted...

st.germaine Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Given my two main chapters, I'm obviously not 100% "by the book" when it comes to the fluff but, for whatever reason, this is one of those things that sits poorly with me (along with mixing geneseed). In my opinion if you are using BA geneseed, you have to deal with the Black Rage. Imperial technology is no longer capable of doing the delicate manipulations necessary to correct a problem of this type. The Cursed Founding demonstrated what happens when one plays with geneseed without knowing what you're doing. The Black Rage is the reason that BA geneseed isn't used often but if your history says that they took a chance, for whatever reason, with this geneseed, the High Lords knew that the Black Rage would be present and you should account for it. The reaction by the chapter could be acceptance, veneration, fear, or loathing but it needs to be accounted for.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Or like the Blood Drinkers, they just don't field them. I assume it would be a bit hard to drive a bike while having a psychotic breakdown. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87135-new-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1011886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Jibreel Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 These are all great suggestions. I think i'm going to go with either Blood Lancers or Sanguine Tears. I am going to have the black rage because I think you've got to take it when doing blood angels succesors.

leejerrum Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I've been working on a chapter name for my own successor chapter. Might as well post up my thoughts. So far its between these Crimson Stalkers Angels Exalted Sons of Fury Sanguine Fury Blood Kin Sons of Vengeance Blood Fangs Sanguine Slayers Infernal Blades Here's a list of some words I shortlisted to help me choose. Doom Sons Righteous Sanguine Vermillion Carmine Storm Crimson Blood Flesh Exalted Infernal Wings Legion Champions Rampagers Avengers Stalkers Fists Sufference Tormentors Blades Inferno Righteous Fury Brethren Vengeance Fang Brotherhood Brothers Knights Tear Pain Kin Kindred Slayers Hope these will help or influence you :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/87135-new-chapter-needs-name/#findComment-1037911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimdarkness Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I have a B.A successor that live in abject fear of the black rage and so spend the better part of there's lives strengthen there heart's and minds to better defend against the monster that leaves in them all. I represent it in game term with the trait purity above all the apothecaries acts as a guide back to reason for these marines affected by the rage.
