help! name my order! - 40K Terra

Dan296 · 05-23-2007

ok, so im turning around on my sisters of battle allies. they were going to be the order of the Fel Heart, because they had a dark green color scheme. but im now using lightning blue on their cloaks instead of dark angels green to contrast my space marines, which are mostly black. (if that wasnt a run on sentance i dont know what is)
so now im stuck on what to rename them as.
any ideas?

TheKiller333 · 05-23-2007

Storm Order? Lol, i'll have to think about this, i'll be back! Ok i'm back. Storm Of The Emporer? Storm of the Imperium? Something Stormy to reflect it being lightning blue.

hairyyahoo · 05-23-2007

The Order of the Cerulean Mantle, cerulean being a shade of blue. got a ring to it don't you think?

BrainDeleted · 05-23-2007

Order of holy water?
Order of the pure blood?
Ordo Corpo Santo?
Ordo Corposants? (both old Portuguese for St.Elmo's fire, a form of static
discharge common on ships that used to scare superstitious sailors, thought it was appropriate and sounds latinish

)

Cagarner · 05-23-2007

Hmm, Order of the Saphire Rose?
Order of the Saphire Blade,
Order of the Azure Soul,
Order of the Cobalt Gaze,
Order of the Azure Wings,
Order of the Blue Saint

Also, some none blue related ones:

Order of the Emperor's Wrath, Redemption, Forgiveness, Gaze, Blade, Gauntlet etc....

Dan296 · 05-23-2007

Order of the Ardent Soul
thx for help.
NOW
to paint them! sisters of battle have alot of really cool, small details on em. whoever the modeler is did a very nice job! i think im actually going to enjoy painting my girlz

btw thats a cool fun fact braindeleted. i think the name of my immolator will be Corpo Santo

bit more powerful then St. Elmos Fire but...eh...
wouldnt the arcing light the sails on fire though? weird.

BrainDeleted · 05-23-2007

Ardent Soul?...sounds farmiliar is that in codex WH? Also whats the symbol?

Well...

The phenomenon of St.Elmo's Fire is scientifically known as a corona or point discharge. It occurs on objects, especially pointed ones, when the electrical field potential strength reaches about one thousand volts per centimetre. (When the electrical potential field is great enough to overcome the resistance of medium across which it occurs, a current of electrons will result (Ohm's Law).) During fair weather, the electrical field strength of the atmosphere is about 1 volt per centimetre. In the initial stages of cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) formation, however, the field increases to 5 volts per centimetre, and just before a lightning flash, reaches ten thousand volts per centimetre. Thus, the atmospheric electrical field is only strong enough, under normal circumstances, to produce St. Elmo's Fire during thundery weather. When the storm is particularly heavily charged, leaves, blades of grass and even the horns of cattle may glow at their tips. In fact, the glow of St. Elmo's Fire has often been observed on sharp objects in the vicinity of tornadoes.

When objects rise above the surface, they retain, to some degree, the electrical potential of the ground (that is, they are grounded). For example, a 10-meter high object, if it were a perfect conductor, would have the same electrical potential at its top as its base. If the atmospheric electrical field decreased at a rate of 100 volts per meter (1 volt per centimetre), the top of the perfectly conducting object would be at a potential 1000 volts higher than the air surrounding it. This would cause a weak electrical current to flow from the object to the air.

Electrical current flows away from a point of higher potential to one of lesser potential, which is a normal, usually invisible process. However, when the electrical potential field becomes sufficiently strong, electrons torn from molecules of the higher potential surface may acquire enough energy between initial escape and collision with another molecule to avoid capture. Instead, the collision will tear off another electron, ionizing the molecule. When the collisions between free electrons, ionized molecules (ions), and molecules of the air become frequent, enough energy is available to excite air molecules into luminosity. If the region of collisions is confined to a small volume, such as around a pointed object, the luminosity, under low ambient light, becomes visible as a blue or bluish white glow.

Near any point conductor projecting into the atmosphere such as a ship's mast, the lines of electrical force are deflected from their normal position and tend to concentrate around the tip. Near this point, the electrical field potential strength will be considerably higher than that of the undisturbed atmosphere. The extent of this concentration is dependent upon the geometry of the object -- the sharper the point, the stronger the surrounding field. (It is for this reason that lightning rods work.) Thus, ionization may occur around sharpe points under atmospheric conditions that would not ordinarily give ionization. When an isolated point is raised to 30 to 40 metres, such as the mast of a large ship, coronas can occur in electrical fields of around 200 volts per centimetre.

Physical descriptions of St. Elmo's Fire have ranged from a ghostly dancing flame to natural fireworks. It usually is of a blue or bluish-white colour attached to fixed, grounded conductors and has a lifetime of minutes. The flame is heatless and non-consuming, occasionally accompanied by a hissing sound. These latter properties promote the myths of spiritual presence. The biblical burning bush that was not consumed may have been displaying one form of St. Elmo's Fire.

Copied that from a paper I wrote for school on the subject

BTW St.Elmo is the patron St. of sailors

Steellegioncpt · 05-23-2007

Order of the Blue Rose. Since blue roses do not exist in the natural world you can play around with it etc fluff wise.

Cagarner · 05-24-2007

well I bet you can get blue roses on some death worlds, along with man eating plants, and giant centrepeides....

Anyway, I like the "Ardent Soal" name. Nice stuff.

Tecron · 05-24-2007

Blood Blade could be a good idea. Just thinkin.

Lord_Tyrion · 05-24-2007

Order of the Broken Faith. Juxtapositions are so good.

Ok, so it may not suit, but i like it

Scoutmaster477 · 01-25-2008

with all the worlds in the empire who says there are no "Blue Roses"out there.
