Shamed into action. Name that chapter.

Postby cgra1 » Sat Jan 11, 2014 8:49 pm

Hello.

So as the title suggest the shock of Mr King picking up a brush has shamed me into action. I've been painting my Dropzone commander ucm troops using the army painter Russian Armour spray, and I thought how would it work on my Marines. So I experimented. Im looking for a very quick simple paint job to get the army on the table fast. I may go back and update the detail later but for now im sticking with quick and easy.
This brings me to my reason for posting. At the moment I play my Marines as an Iron Hands Successor but I don't have a chapter name. Therefore Im opening it up to the forum for some sensible chapter names. So have at it guys, if you want to add fluff ideas as well that would be great.

muhahaha, typical Gav ;)

Steel Fists I quite like though Gav, is has connotations of Crimson Fists, etc... Or maybe just Iron Fists. It fits very well, but what colour are the fists.. hard to see from image... but I'm liking the scheme mate, just needs some eyes :)

Steel Fists is cool, but you have the gloves painted in a brass kind of color, so how about the Brass Hands?!

The gloves are shining gold dulled with a wash. The eyes are scorpion green but my camera does not pick them up well.

Gilded Fist. The lost 9th Company of the Brazen claws are discovered after a long assault into the eye of terra. Only Captain Hrtel remains. Mortally wounded holding the collective pure Geneseed of his fallen brothers in one hand and his combat knife in the other with the dead of a thousand enemy all around. He is returned to the chapter and given the ultimate honour of having his geneseed added to his brothers and created into a new chapter to be stationed next to the eye on the worlds the 9th Company fought for.

How about the "The Undecided". At least then they would have something in common with you.


I quote cgra1 a week ago "I've decided this year I am going to concentrate on only a couple of gaming systems. I am going to get rid of the 40k" :?

How about the Fist/Talon/Hand of Aurum. Aurum mean Shining Dawn in latin and is why Gold on the periodic table is AU.
What, no image sigs!

Oh Taumaul... leave him alone. He's always been like that. If he wants to paint some SM then where's the harm. If he wants to come play the odd game with an old friend, what's up with that too ;)

Just coz your not enjoying 40K, having bought another army and painted it all, there's no need to try and recruit people to your nomadic gaming world... lolololol :D

Chris, they look great to me and if you can knock them out in quick time all the better. Good to see you've gone for your own chapter actually this time so you can just pick up any codex you like ;)
