So I have always gone by the army name Omega Marines ever since I started way back in 97 or so, and used the Ultramines symbol upside down.

well it has always felt kind of boring to me so I want to change it, but keep the Omega in the name.

Omega Legion
Omega Templars
Templars of Omega
any other suggestions?

and I want to use one of these designs to make a custom decal. what do you guys think looks best.

I wouldn't go with Legion unless you're an Alpha splinter group.

Omega Guard? Knights of Omega? Omega 13th?

Why not, there are like 8 or 9 other armies that have Legion in their name, some are Chaos and some are Loyalists

The issue isn't with the word "Legion" so much as it is the word Legion following a Greek letter.

Also, spoiler for the book Legion, if you haven't already heard:

Omega Knights?
Omega Guard?

I like Omega Guard.

Omega doesn't have to come first.

Legio Omega?
Knights Omega?

Hey, I'm not the guy who wants the word 'Omega' in his army name.

Legio Omega?
Knights Omega?

Knights Omega was one of my eraly choices too.
I like the sound of Legio Omega also.

I have to admit, I did laugh at that one.

Yeah, I prefer Legio Omega, although it sounds a bit more like a Titan Battlegroup. Still, if it works...

The 24th Legion, or LEGIO 24

How about "Omega Guard"?

I see what you did there. but that sounds too close to a IG company

I am really liking Legio Omega or Omega Legio

what about some of the symbols, any of them fit with the name?

and, I'm sorry, is there something I am missing with this Omega Guard name that is supposed to be funny or something? because it is too close to IG I guess or what?

No, I just like the sound of it. You have to keep in mind, sooner oir later, there's going to be a bald guy screaming it over the battlefield, so it has to sound impressive

Omega DEATH MACHINES

Omega Corps

Oh come on, it is funny.
"Which army killed these men, soldier?!"
"Omega Guard, sir!"
"It's no use, he's too traumatised to speak! Just repeats the words 'Oh me g-gawd' every time we question him!"

Omega Swords sounds good. Apparently Omega means 800 or something so my suggestion would be Omega 800 but your choice of Omega Guard is good too.

Back to the original topic, which is the decal. To me, they all scream black templar and inquisition =\
Go with the top left one if any, as it is the least like any currently existing symbol/fluff.

there ya go

As far as the decal goes, I like the lower right one, because it's simplest, though if you were to go with Omega Guard I think that the omega with a contrasting-color shield in the middle would look good, and be thematic.

Also "Omega Guard" has a connotation that they are the "guardians of the last days" or somesuch, which fits well with the state that the 40k universe is in.

you're right, I should probably change that.

Although Omega Guard has a nice ring to it, and I like the "guardians of the last days" part,
but I think I am leaning towards Legio Omega,
so on that what would you guys suggest as a middle symbol to go in the Omega Symbol.

or should I find a larger symbol to represent the Legio part, and put the Omega symbol inside it?

I like Omega Guard for one, but on the other end as far as decals go watch it now, you may upset the Ultra Marines and the Black Templars. This may be Hersey and we don't want to report you to the Inquisition.

While I still think that "Omega Guard" rolls off the tongue nicer (it's because of the quickly repeating "ga" sound) Since Legion means "a group of one thousand" maybe a big K in the middle of the Omega... of course that might incite K-mart jokes, just do it in gold and not red

My army is called the Infinity Cell... you could be the Omega Cell, and be my loyalist nemesis! Bwrahaharhra!

Ahem... yeah so for your icon I like #1, just make the middle portion a bit larger so it fills up a bit more of the Omega symbol.

How about using just an Omega without a star in it?
