BrassClaw Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 So hey guys, how is everyone? So I started a WIP thread here (http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319145-brassclaws-horde-of-khorne/) and I thinking about writing down some fluff pieces for my Khorne Daemonkin warband and my traitor guard force. The problem is that GW STOLE MY FLUFF Not really, but my original idea was the Blood Vultures; a force that would eat the fallen bodies after battle, friend and foe alike. This is basically the fluff of The Wrath at this point. So I thinking it’s time to make something new up. But first I need a name. Now I could stick with Blood Vultures (although I basically made that name because vultures eat the remains of the dead ) OR go with something new. Blood Vultures(original name) Blades of Blood (not an original name, but one with no existing fluff attach to it) Crimson Butchers (a play-off of Crimson Slaughter) Howling Hounds Fists of Khorne (a play-off of Fists of Brass) Something you can come up with? (please post) Now if you post your own name, I would like to avoid using "Bloody" as an adjective because my traitor guard are known as the “Bloody Greys” Thanks for the help!

Olis Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Maybe the Brass Claws? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasus Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hello! While I did play around with silly puns like "the HaemorRage" I thought I'd have a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyNidus Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Brass Claws isn't too bad.But wouldn't it be better to come up with background and name the warband accordingly? How about the:Doom EatersThe MasticatorsThe ConsumersThe Digesting HostThe Corpse Covenant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasus Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Either or really, I usually come up with a name first then a background, although I've done the other way round as well so both work, depends on the person's own thought process Although I am really interested in what the fluff for these guys will be. Especially after seeing the models and army list in the related thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassClaw Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Maybe the Brass Claws? You know, the thought did occur to me. I do have plans for the name Brass Claw for one of the berzerker aspiring champions. Fun fact, i got the name from a quote in the 3.5 chaos marines codex. The quote was from a dude named "Iron Claw" but a khorne it up a bit. Hello! While I did play around with silly puns like "the HaemorRage" I thought I'd have a go The Carrion Host The Carrion Legion The Blood Storm The Slaughter Host ( a bit similar to Slaughter Cult but I can't get it out of my head . . . ) The Carnage The Carcass Makers The Carrion Wake The Devourers The Red Tide The Flesh Flayers The . . . (argh! My brain! It hurts!) Sorry that's all I got for now, if it helps I have a Khornate Daemonic Legion known as the Brass Legion of Lasceration, could use that somehow? EDIT: had a few more The Gorekin The Slaughter Lords The Flesh Hunters wow, a lot of names. The one that stood out to me was The Devourers, maybe because it fall out usual pattern. I will keep that in mind for sure, if not for the warband, for a unit for sure. Brass Claws isn't too bad. But wouldn't it be better to come up with background and name the warband accordingly? How about the: Doom Eaters The Masticators The Consumers The Digesting Host The Corpse Covenant I guess its a little bit of the chicken and the egg situation. I usually like to think of a name, then think of the reason why the group got the name. That's just my process though. Maybe to help you guys out in the naming process I will give you some notes on what's in the army: The warband is very mechanized. With Rhinos for most of the squads Mostly made up of Berzerkers with the odd daemonic unit The warband uses a lot of daemon engines (Soul Grinders, Forge Fiends, Lord of Skull) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erasus Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Butchers of the Brazen Maw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYGNUS Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If I might offer a few suggestions:- THE HOUNDS OF GORE - THE CARRION CROWS - THE BUTCHER BIRDS - THE BLOODY BUZZARDS - THE BUZZARDS - THE RIPPERS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitnam Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I say stick with Blood Vultures and the cannibal thing. Just because GW didnt doesn't mean you can't do it either. When I made my Dancying Scythes chapter I didnt shirk away from making them super mechanized even though the Aurora Chapter is super mechanized.

Erasus Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Yeah, I totally forgot that the cannibal was dropped in the first place . . . Opens up the naming thing all over again The eating of the dead is, as said by sitnam, not off limits just because of GW. However I personally it would be best to no longer have this as a main feature, more of a thing they do a lot. Unless there's more significance to this eating of the dead than we thought?

BrassClaw Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Hey guys I glad for all the interest in naming my little warband. I have chosen the Crimson Butchers for the name and I will be picking names from here for squad names. Berzerker Squad A: The Doom Eaters Berzerker Squad B: The Claws of Khorne Berzerker Squad C: The Blood Vultures Berzerker Squad D: The Slaughter Lords Berzerker Squad E: The Hounds of Gore Possessed Squad A: The Devourers As for the the whole cannibal thing, I think i will keep it but as Erasus said. I will put more meaning behide it rather than just have as the whole "HAHAHAHA I'm evil NOM NOM NOM". Eating the dead for the Crimson Butchers is the process in become Possessed. They believe that consuming others increases there power, making it easier for a daemon to inhabit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe that consuming others increases there power, making it easier for a daemon to inhabit them. If that is the case, how do the Crimson Butchers feel about certain rituals? And, by extension, sorcerers? I take it they'll be toeing the party-line and hate psykers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The war band doesn’t have any psykers, but there main ally the “Bloody Greys” a traitor guard force, makes use of psykers to summon bloodletters on to the battle field. So demonomancy is at least tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
