Grimdarkness Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'm having trouble naming my B.A successor insert link i've gone through about a half dozen names and none fit the image or feel of the chapter so i was thinking of gone with the offspring of human demon or human angel's such as the Dhampir the nephilim or the cambion. EG A cambion is the half-human offspring of the union between a human male and a succubus or an incubus and a human female. The cambion is a still birth that shows no sign of life outside of being alive, meaning that the child has no pulse, no breath and its brain operates on theta waves. This continues until the child is about seven years old, where it becomes increasingly difficult to differentiate one from a human. A cambion is usually devilishly cunning, and angelically beautiful, able to persuade even the most strong-hearted individual to do his or her bidding. Most cambions have evil tendencies due to their demon parent. This belief is medieval in origin. Caliban, the son of the witch Sycorax in "The Tempest" by William Shakespeare, is a cambion. since space marine where once human but are no longer and they carry the blood of there primarch and a small part of the emperor it makes sense. Since the blood angel's induction method is a lot like rebirth would it work?

utilityzero Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The Cambion sounds more like an Emperor's Children thing to me, and I recomend using words and images people know and will understand. That being said the Dhampir makes alot of sense anyway, as you want a group of BA marines who have made the sacrifices neccisary to control the rage and limit its effect on their way of life. They're sort of half and half too I guess. But at the same time that's sort of a difficult name to make work and as for the others I wouldn't think a chapter of space marines would want something inherently evil to be associated with them. Also, I read part of your other thread, I would take the apothocaries upgrade, but I would also think about something with furious charge, particularly the one for veteran assault squads as that sort of shows that in the few veterans your chapter does field, the rage is more prevelant. If you really want to make something like Cambion or Dhampir work, why not make that the name of the first chapter master or their homeworld as well, so as to give them a good reason to choose something like that as their name. Like the Sons of Dhampir, or the Knights of Cambion? Or something less direct might help, like, the Day Walkers, or the Twighlight Defenders. Or since they are so devoted to protecting their blood line, how about the Blood Bond, the Blood Bound, or the Blood Defenders, or the New Bloods. Hopefully I've been of some help and I maybe set you in the right direction for a name anyway.

utilityzero Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 if you like it go with it, although i don't see how that really goes with what you were thinking about earlier. it's strange how you can do a complete 180 in your thinking sometimes.

Ferrata Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Brotherhood sanguine? or brothers sanguine Brotherhood Sanguine doesn't really roll of the tongue, maybe the Brotherhood of Sanguine, it just runs better. Sanguine Brotherhood works better, be sounds a little too much like a fraternity and less of a body of genetically enhanced killing machines :P.

Grimdarkness Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sanguine Brotherhood works better, be sounds a little too much like a fraternity and less of a body of genetically enhanced killing machines . Yet there's a chapter called the brotherhood of a thousand.

iron father Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Blood Brothers? (I know... it does sound like a gang...) Nope, that's the tentative name of my DIY! :unsure: Besides, it's not a great name for any chapter, really. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/90446-angels-and-demons/#findComment-1051595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 The angel's Incruentus Shall be posted soon. Thanks for all the help. can a chapter be knowing by 2 maybe 3 names I'm thinking the cursed for the brothers who fall to the black rage. The bloodless for the other blood angel Gene seed chapter's out there who look down upon my chapter due to there lack of the primarch blood or SHP. It's for my chapter base don the blood angel's but do to the death of there SHP the lost the blood link to there primarch which explains the lack of the red thirst and black rage. But having a name you can barely pronounce is almost as bad as not having one. eg. Angel's Incruentus (Latin for bloodless) i may look for the Romanian word for bloodless or blood. The dark angel's are knowing as the unforgiven and the imp fists were the emperor praetorian guard during the crusade.

Ferrata Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I would say they could only be known by one name officially. Other chapters or themselves might have a nickname for them (like the Unforgiven) but they would only have one real name. So in your example, the chapter will be called Angels Incruentus (in-crew-ent-us), but they might call themselves The Bloodless. The Cursed are something within the Chapter, so thats like calling some a "Tactical Marine". The Imperial Fists weren't known as that, that was just their job.

utilityzero Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 special units can have names that they are known by, for instance in my chapter, a BA successor, the first company equivilant is known as the Immortals, much like the Wolf Guard for the SW, or the Sword Brothers for the BT, or even the DC for the BA. and remember, superstition and conspiracy is rampant in 40k and few people really can say they know what is going on. so maybe your chapter is officially named one thing while the ignorant savages they recruit from call them something completely different, and they might call themselves something altogether different, like the way the DA's and their successor refer to themselves as the Unforgiven but no one really knows what they mean by that.
