The Order of the Dragon's Blood?





Hello,

I am looking for a new name for my Space Marine Chapter. Formerly it was called the Emperor's Dragons but I have already found 2 other people who also have chapters called the same. Both have done theirs in Black as the base color where I went with red. I have decided to give my Chapter a new name. I am currently working with The Order of the Dragon's Blood or simply Blood Dragons. Please comment on what you think about the new name. If you have any legitimate suggestions please put them in comments as well. :) (I was also thinking about "Fire Dragons" but I think that may already be in use)

HOBBY UPDATE

I have been working on finishing up the Tac squads for the BD.

Here are the 1st and 4th squads.

1st squad

4th squad

KATO SIKARIUS

I have decided to try Cato Sicarius in my army. I bought the model and after a close examination I discovered that he is covered in Ultra Marine symbols. This was not going to work. Something had to be done. so out came the hobby tools and after a lot of work most of the Omegas were gone.



Cato's Backpack was right out! It is covered in symbols. I went with a Space wolf backpack (The one with the wolf head tied to the back.) I added some horns to it making it look more like a Dragon's skull. I think it came out pretty good.



I went for my standard Red Paint scheme instead of the Gold armor I normally use for leader types. The cloak is done more like my my space wolves rather than my normal dragon colors. it makes a nice contrast.




The Gold was done with Tin Bitz, Shining Gold with Dwarf Bronze highlights.
Leather was done with Dark Flesh, Verman Brown and Snakebite leather.
Red is too dificult to describe here. ;)


Here is the finished model.




Army List Idea.

I call it Assault/Suppression

Check it out...




Enjoy

  1. About the List

    I am thinking a list that can assault right out of the box. Cato allows me to give a TAC squad one of a list of abilities at no extra cost.one of them is "infiltrate," The Scouts can also infiltrate as can a unit deployed with Shrike.


    one unit of Terminators and Vets can deep strike

    While the Dread and the Land raider race across the board to get into the action.

    The thunderfire cannon is around to lay suppression fire for the units slogging across the field.

    What do you think?

  2. Cool name. Was Ordo Drakonis taken or did you just decide to go a different route? Either way is cool.

    The squads look good, though the pics look a little dark. Those 3rd(?) ed marines really look static when compared to the newer models.

    Sikarius came out great. Do you have another name for him in your chapter?

    As for the list, It looks good, although I don't really know the 40K rules well enough for an AB output to mean that much to me.
