Terra Name? - 40K Terra

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

we could have the best paint scheme ever... but without an awesome name its kinda all for not eh? I'm suggesting we submit Suggestions for names and have a dead line. after the dead line we vote the top 5 and then have a second round of voting choosing the chapter name. If the Admin team or anyone else has a better plan please tell!

Wakim · 11-09-2007

Is your post mising a paragraph?!

Ides · 11-09-2007

certainly seems so...

name-wise though, in case this is closed pending other things:

Bronze hammers
Master's Bones
Ashes Ascendant
Emperor's Mittens

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

Wakim, I have no Idea what your referring to you. could you clarify

the name has been edited and thats why the 1st paragraph makes no sense.

who is the primogenitor chapter? has that been decided?

personally, i always find it easier to work out a name from the background, is any of that decided yet?

As far as i know our chapter has little to no fluff

I may be wrong though, might wanna scroll through the older topics for the chapter.

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

Edited. well we could just make it simple and be another Smurf Related Chapter

it would make a great deal of sense to be an Ultramarine successor as 3/5ths of the Adeptus Astartes are such and would side step any potential fluff difficulties were we choose another primogenitor

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

It also keeps us more open for the naming. what i mean by that is if we're from a spave wolve primogenitor we might feel more obligated to lean towards wolve type names, etc etc.

We could could be a loyalist branch of one of the traitor legions as well

OR and i'm going out on a limb here, we could be one of the lost legion

SteveBerenyi · 11-09-2007

Ummmmm.... My suggestion is that our predecessor (Loyalist) chapter was Luna Wolves.

they went bad, we went good.

Baron Spikey · 11-09-2007

hmm, im not a fan of having using forces that are the supposedly loyalist remanents of the traitor legions. I suppose we should put it to a poll once more people have chimed in with ideas.

Ides · 11-09-2007

Hmmm, you mean a bit like blood ravens being as loyalist splinter of word bearers/1k sons? Could work. We could also go for DA successors, if we feel like using any of the cooler DA bits. They are pure after all.

In that case, we could have part of the 40k terra scheme in luna wolf/sons of horus (whichever would make more sense fluffwise/look cooler) and say we wear black on the other arm to signal that we are forever in mourning for the brothers we lost?

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

I like the Idea of t5he Luna Wolves. The Chapter could then have fought on Terra!

Dan296 · 11-09-2007

Well the imperial fists are the supposed guardians of terra so wouldnt it make sense for Rogal Dorn to be our promiginator?

plus, traitor chapters CANT have succsessors because they ran away, it was the imperials who split the legions. no such thing happened with the traitors (besides splitting into warbands, but thats differant)

Ides · 11-09-2007

I still think the Emperor's Mittens would be a kick-ass name.

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-09-2007

Am I to assume the name doesnt have to relate at all to Terra/Emperor?

and again: we should be Legion II or XI (or their chapter version).

Battle-Ranch · 11-09-2007

the problem i see with being a founding legion is we're gonna explain where we've been all this time. If we're Smurf knock offs we'll be Canon no matter what any says

GhostofTerra · 11-09-2007

where we've been all this time: we've been guarding the emperor (aka the custodes)

thats not that hard to explain
we are ultra secretive and have little to no fluff to compete with so this wouldnt be a problem

i although do have a problem with being spawned from guilliman because i hate his blandness

Lord Commander Erus · 11-09-2007

I'd actually vote for Dorn. After reading the Soul Drinkers, he ain't so bad. Would explain why we guard Terra. And if we are fleet based like most seem to want, different style weapons and such are easy to do.

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-09-2007

Hmm, yes Dorn > Guilliman.
But Blue > Yellow... (No YOU suck it blue!)
well maybe not always.

The thing is we can't be the ACTUAL custodes, we'd have to be a terran legion/chapter which is ACTING as praetorians with our chapter base on terra.

Also that's easy to explain: We carried the great crusade to the furthest edges of the north/eastern rim, beyond the light of the astronomican, and was never heard from again. Later on we recieved fragmented distress calls and came full speed back to terra - which too obviously years to maybe even a decade - and upon coming realised we're over 10k years late. So we set up ourselves as the II or XI legion into a chapter, and swore to stay on and protect terra forever because we weren't there originally.

See? Easy.

RvB FTW!

It sounds pretty good. Maybe you could add something about why we aren't always on Terra. Carrying on the Great Crusade, much like the Black Templars? (well, sorta. They just have a 10k year long uber crusade of awesomeness)

Ides · 11-09-2007

Makes more sense to have us as a regular chapter that's just out there fighting the good fight. Maybe our chapter master saw a member of one of the Lost Legions, and is convinced they are still out there, defending terra the only way they know how: by slaying the emperor's foes. Perhaps the master made it the chapter's purpose to find them...who knows?

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-09-2007

@mikeel: that WOULD give us the opportunity to have a true "Emperor's Champion" if we follow BT structure a bit.
@Ides: saw a member alive or dead? lmao j/k
SEEK OUT THE LOST ONES!

And in all seriousness,
us bunch 'o guys and gals are not exactly regular ;P

Lord Commander Erus · 11-09-2007

We could take a leaf from Barons book.

We are, originally, an Imperial fists Sucessor. (access to Emperors Champion, and we CAN paint whatever color we want.). This also gives us claim to the spot of Praetorians, and the Fists were during the Crusade. We went on a ruthless Crusade, hacking our way out so far we launched into the next Galaxy. There we found remnants of the Lost Legio II, by them saving us from a MASSIVE Ork Waagh the size of which the Imperium can not fathom. Loosign them by making the jump to the warp with our Wayward brothers, we became friends. Most of their Legion and our Chapter were nearly decimated by fending off the Waagh. The decision was made to merge the two fighting forces.

On the way back to Terra, we hear of the Age of Aposty, Vandire, etc... We make a vow then never to leave Terra so open again, and settle as praetorians. Though once every decade we send a splinter fleet (about the equivalent of a 1.5K - 2K army with thunderhawk and spaceship/armor support. Their mission is to seek out the other lost Legion and bring them back to the fold of the Imperium. Our battle cry could even be somehow related to wayward sons, lost sons, or some such8 (Damn southpark guitar hero episode.).

Sounds nice?

Torquemada Coteaz · 11-09-2007

A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
absolutely beautiful :')

and by bring back to fold with legion XI meaning cleanse the hell out of those heretics right?
(GW's philosphy is evenly-matched-ness and so if one legion is good other must be evil)

GhostofTerra · 11-09-2007

so basically we are a cursed founding if we merged legions then

i do like how we befriended the lost legion and worked with them to squash the waaagh. but i dont think the emperor would like us back on terra after they were expunged from records and we start hanging out with them

maybe we find them and befriend them only to fnd out they are truely chaos followers after the waaagh and truely erase them from history. and we are now back on terra to rebuild/recruit and swear to guard the emperor for eternity for not being there when the heresy happened
