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!!!

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.

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  :;):
