Hey everyone! I have decided to change the colour scheme and name of my chaos space marine army. They are fully green with red trimming.
I need YOUR help to name the army. I also need help to chose a logo or insignia.
THESE ARE ONLY IDEAS! I NEED NEW NAMES IF POSSIBLE!
Soul Devourers
Green Devils
Green Death
Void Stalkers
Void Devourers
Anything helps!
Hey everyone, thanks for all your help! I have just posted some photos that may help all of you trying to help. The top names are Void Stalkers and Green Death. Please try and make up a few more, none to do with Christmas...
I'm also in need of an insignia/logo for the legion/warband/whatever its called, for this may spark an idea for someone. Thanks again!
Here are some photos (requested)

Wouldn't the CSMs be legions rather than chapters? They broke the legions up after the HH, I don't know if CSM did the same thing... I suppose some of the legions may have broken up with in fighting and could have formed separate sects etc. To that end I pick Void Stalkers

Ok well I got confused between the two, thanks for clearing that up and for helping try to decide the name

There are 9 CSM Legions, broken up into warbands.
Renegade Chapters that turned to Chaos are still chapters, they aren't large enough to be a legion.
I like Void Stalkers and Green Devils, Green Devils fits better, though, I suppose

Since the forming of chapters from the original legions have any turned? I haven't seen anything about it... mind you I've only really got back into playing since the new WFB & 40K did paint some bits though.
Would like to read about what I've missed. They're doing a cracking job with the fluff and history at the mo and feel they're really fleshing it all out.

No they have many different gods. As well what does Viridian Mortalia mean? I'm guessing it's Latin.

I honestly didn't know if they (GW) had documented any betrayal since the HH, I would assume that if any had betrayed then the Inquisition would be all over it like a rash and the Gene Seed would be purged which would have implications for the other founding Legion successor chapters. Just curious if they have done a novel line like the HH ones as it would be an awesome read.

So start with something you really like, change it and make it unique I'd go for something easy to paint though... After basecoating 40 men of my own chapter, I look at the shoulderpads and think...meh - they only fell recently and havent had time to update their chaos iconography yet... Its really not that I'm lazy...

I tried googling green death - there were two logos then it was just people meme-ing about x-boxes.
Its hard not to say a green skull or crossed sycthes on a green background - those are both a bit too 'nurgley' IMO.
A green star?
Everytime I try to think of green chaos marines it makes me think of nurgle.
Google random logo's + green and see if you get any inspiration from there?

Maybe mix up both ideas and have a green skull with red crossed scythes on a black background. What do you think?

As I understand it, many chapters that turn renegade also choose to rename themselves. So it might be easier to come up with a fitting name if you first decide what your army's background is and let that inform you.

You could always go for:
A black skull on a green flame background
Black skull with green eye glow
Black skull with green undivided symbol glowing.
Or the above but invert the colour so green skull with ... etc
