Custom marine chapter... A hand with naming please :D

[DaN]

Been thinking about this for a while now...
Got the chapter badge sorted, and working on a colour scheme, etc

Just need a hand with the name.

I wanted to be able to use some of the space wolf figures and addons (ie. tails etc), but not wolves, but foxes.

I had a few ideas, but would appreciate some help:

Iron/Steel foxes
Shadow foxes
Vulpes Imperialis
Fox guard

And some more I can\'t remember right now.
And yes - the colour scheme WILL incorporate orange

 

[Roger Bunting]

Hmm, have to think about that one. Just don\'t use the proto-germanic word that it derives from.

 

[Thunderhawker]

LEt\'s see:

The order of the vulpine blade
Ordo Vulpinis
Hunters of Vulpine (or vulpine hunters)
Black foxes has a ring to it
Redd Fox (This is the big one Alice)
Fox Brigade
Vulpis Galacticalis
The sons of Kajortoq (look that one up
)
The Fox Spirits
Kitsune Imperialis
Silent Kitsune
Flame of Reiko

Thats all I have at the moment, if I come up with more Iwill post\'em.

 

[Roger Bunting]

Ok, just taking some common chapter names and mixing them up:

Star Foxes
War Foxes
Storm Foxes
Imperial Foxes
Celestial Foxes
Avenging Foxes
Heralds of Vulpinus

Awww... you took my only suggestion. Course, might be fun trying to add the tails.

 

[DaN]

I am NOT giving them two tails that allow them to fly. This is NOT sonic lol

However, here\'s a rough colour scheme:

@ Roger - again - I don\'t know what you\'re talking about! ??? lol
Is this some allusion to Irwin Rommel...?

Anyhoo - if you\'re wanting some background, then I am using the stereotypical characteristics OF foxes for their tactics - ie. Speed and stealth and preference for Close combat.

I have yet to think of a back story for this, but thinking about Rommel HAS got me thinking about having some sort of pseudo-Rommel persona in the chapter as a master tactician...

Maybe they should have giant testicles like Japanese raccoon dogs:

They could use them as melee weapons:

I don\'t think true kitsune fly with their tails. The more tails it has, the older and wiser it is. One with nine is over 1000 years old. Course, at nine tails it should be white or gold.

Okay, I\'m trying to paraphrase several pages of Wikipedia. Maybe ya should take a look yourself. Awful lot of good things about kitsune (loyal, intelligent, etc). Especially around the Inari foxes.

 

[Roger Bunting]

NSA, err, don\'t know what to say about that. Someone was partaking in some illicit substance when they thought that one up.

Dan, no, the proto-germanic thing has nothing to do with Rommel. The word Fox, derives from the old English word of the same spelling which in turn derives from the proto-germanic word fukh. Obviously that could be awkward when introducing your chapter to people.

 

[rosac]

The onyx foxes
the stone foxes
steel foxes
iron foxes
gold foxes
silver foxes....

the list goes on...

rosac

 

[Thunderhawker]

@NSA - that is just disturbing

 

[mud duck]

Damn it NSA! Now I have AC/DC stuck in my head!

\"But we\'ve got the biggest balls of them all!\"

 

[Countersunk81]

I think PegaZus ha thrown up some cool ideas - you should definately have more tails the higher ranked a model is, and paint HQ with white and/ or gold/yellow armour.

I\'m sorry, I don\'t have any suggestions for names though

 

[Undave]

Forget fox tails and have little fluffy bobtail ones instead. Then call them the Ether Bunnies

I feel dirty. Hope you\'re happy. :drunk:

 

[Naukhel]

Orange?
They could have the battle cry \"Nothing rhymes with orange!\"

Otherwise, I got nothin\'.

Nope, their magical scrotums are a traditional Japanese belief So at the most, someone had too much sake.

 

[tide of khorne]

Of wich legion are they a chapter?

 

[DaN]

They aren\'t in a legion - they\'ll probably be a successor founding.

Good grammar though
