Hi all,
yet another of my doomed army projects.
I chose a nice bright (sorry L-4) colour for this as yet unnamed chapter which I am currently referring to as Orange Drops. The reason can be seen below:



How do they manage to fold those specialised drop pods?
Easy. One of their chapter traits is 'Masters of Origami'.
They also use this to get 10 marines in a Rhino.... :devil:

I like the pods & orange is the best color.

Orange is great camo if you are in some iron oxide waste or just surrounded by fruit.

CLEANSE, BURN, JUICE!!!

You don't have any remorse for the sacrifice of this control tower, do you? :)

I had orange fruit drops in mind  :sad:
Orthopedic Marines?
No, those would be the ones with the hospital-green robes. :devil:

Ah, I KNEW I might just end up getting it right  :vD Thanks Ghudra.
You don't have any remorse for the sacrifice of this control tower, do you?
I'll give you 3 guesses  :devil: It is now a forward control outpost.
Or like the name of a cocktail.
Now we're getting somewhere  :vD

Nice modeling as usual Van ...  :agree:  And I guess Orange might work in on a planet with a lot of Iron Oxide ...  :vD  Or in a Florida Orange Grove ...  :vD  8v)

Something fire-esk maybe?

Firestorms
Solar guard
Flames of Purity
Firemasters (though could be confused with the traitor titan legion)

Fantastic use of bits Vanvlak, as for a name suggestion...

How about:- The Fire Dragons

Is this a birth of a brother chapter to Charads Forsaken Claws?

Hey, I'd forgotten all about those! Are they still expanding, Charad?
Good grief, hand-painted chapter emblem... ouch!
Ok, mine are very much the junior chapter....they're probably derived from their geneseed...or have chapters stopped breeding? I haven't kept up with the fluff....

Thanks for all the name suggestions guys - I still am completely undecided.
I had a couple of ideas of my own:
Non-Starters - seeing my projects usually all end up this way
Blue Pandas - that should certainly confuse the enemy!

Why orange? As Charad pointed out it's easy to paint and fun too -makes a change. But there is another overriding reason for its use. I had bought the 20-pot Foundation paint set, and this is one of the 2 least-used pots - which means if I do goon with these, I should keep going for some time. I am also painting a few orange 40K Dark Eldar who are too embarrassed to have their photo taken... :vD Do we have a sponsor?  :devil:

PS - hey, they match the Tac Wargames colours brilliantly too  :vD  :;):
