thunderhawk Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi, im having trouble again :( right before i should register for the medusa v campaign, i discovered my chapter did not have a name :P any sugestions would be nice -the capter origins from the iron handds -they have the trait 'scions of mars'. -the color scheme is mainly black only with grey trims on the shoulderpads, bleached bone on chesteagle and golden bolters. (might sound like a lot of different colours, but it looks cool) - i have no fluff and no chapter badge. unfortunantly i cant get pics.

Ferrata Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 [mod]NemFX, when someone asks for help, please try to be actually helpful instead of trying to be funny. I've moved this to Liber because you should get some good idea's from that bunch.[/mod] Well, a good start would be a metal, Iron and Steel are the most common. Then depending on their style of warfare - Assault - Claws, Angels, Hawks, Wolves, Tigers (or some other animal of that ype) Shoot - Fists, Hammers, Guard, Shield (or something slow/defensive) You could also try things like Children, Brothers/hood, Guardians etc Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1036866 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderhawk Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Mars templars would be cool :P when i chose the scions of mars trait i decided the chapter should be very obsessed by improvent of weapons. "good tools is half the jobb" or something like that. btw: ideas for a icon would be nice too :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1036896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord calgar Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 @ Thunderhawk I think those names might be drifting from the path of "emperor above all" that marines try to follow.

Ferrata Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Omnissiah legion - not a fan of this, all to easy to slip into the "We are Legion", I've never been a fan of using Legion in chapter names. guard of the Omnissiah - Maybe flip it round to give Omnissiah Guard which sounds a lot better. If you like the "of the" try Guardians. If you want to go the Omnissiah route, how about Sons of... or Blades of... or Brotherhood of... The question, for the fluff, is why does their name directly link them to the Machine Cult, where they like that from the start or did they change their name during their life.

The question, for the fluff, is why does their name directly link them to the Machine Cult, where they like that from the start or did they change their name during their life. i dont know........... perhaps they have been designed for a special task within the machine cult. the fluff is not written so you guys are welcome to sugest names and even why they have got the name beacause im not very good at fluff stuff. btw: my drawback is now "death before dishonour" but that is easy to change :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1037924 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick Fluff Suggestion: You have your chapter which is into mechanics and technology, almost fanboi'ing the AM. AM Forgeworld/ship/elephant sends out a distress call, and like all good fanbois the chapter answers. Chapter save AM, relationship grows into mutual respect. Chapter does a lot of defending for the AM, and the AM slightly abuse this (knowing they have a friend) Chapter gets really hurt in a battle defending the AM when they didn't need to AM liked having a Chapter defend them, so they resupply Chapter with equipment. Chapter feels honoured, and changes their name to ... Guard. Now they are the AM's Lapdogs (similiar to the Inq-CF relationship) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1038001 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrata Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 ferrata, are you a psyker? have you planted a familiar in my house? Yes on both accounts. We mods have to have spies everywhere so we know everything, it comes with the title. But now you know, the familiar will have to kill you, sorry :D Sounds like you have some fluff sorted, but try reading some of the other IA's found in WD, Index Astartes or DIY Chapters online (in Liber), help you get the feel for fluff.

Brother Sergeant Alasseo Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Normally, when something is called the *** Guard, the first word is an adjective (there may be exceptions to this, ask someone who didn't sleep through English Language). Perhaps Omnissian Guard? As an icon, how about a variant on the Machina Opus (the half bionic skull in the cogwheel)? Maybe the Aquila in a cogwheel, half gold, half steel? (if you don't feel good enough to paint that, I'm sorry. I just think it would look fairly damn cool) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1038085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 For a symbol how about the Ad Mech Skull on a shield or held aloft in a gauntleted fist. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90134-need-name/#findComment-1038170 Share on other sites More sharing options...

st.germaine Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 If you're going with a design that is a little too complex to be readily recreated multiple times, you might want to consider having decals made. There are any number of threads here about haiving decals made. The search tool should dredge them up in no time. Suggestions as to online companies as well as DIY methods.
