Lions of Death

The desert Claws

The Claw of the Emperor

Fangs of the Eternal Sun

**Rogan**

Lions of the Lazy and Uninspired Founder! ^^

Jokes aside; I think "Desert Lions" is quite the best idea so far. I really like your colour scheme, the red fits the brown very well.The only thing I could come up with would be "Iron Claws", displaying their fortitude and their prowess, which is that of the lion.

**SONS of ORAR**

The Lions of the Emperor or The Emperor's Lions

**fantastic!**

The Emperor's Pride. That just oozes space marine.

**Warflake**

The Legion of Mew?

**taopaipai18**

Really like the paintjob and colour scheme, very crisp. Its kinda similar to what i was gonna go for with an eldar craftworld i been thinking about.
To me they have a kinda deserty feel to them and had me thinking they could be a chapter that had recruited from the Tallarn desert raiders type of world when there geneseed was young so i was thinking something like Tallarn Brotherhood along those lines.

jebus, i just saw that wrong, phew. at a glance it kinda looked like something eric cartman may called a chapter

**nerdfest09**

Damn nice painting! I really like it, you've done a great job and the colours all balance well with the iconography and theme, i'll be watching to see more of your army as it progresses! and as far as names go i honestly think Gitsmack has hit on the winner, 'Scions of Nemea' sounds great and suits your army as well as the 40k universe.

The colors look amazing, fantastic color scheme. Perhaps they are the crimson leopards? Best of luck with the name.

**Stubby**

The Mustard Tigers

**MaliceAngel**

I believe they have lion badges

How about the "Sons of Maahes"?

(Maahes was the lion-hedded god of war in egypt. Also spelled Mihos, Miysis, Mios, Maihes, and Mahes)

What?....I like Egyptian stuff

MA.

Edited for spelling.

**boyd**

Lunar Lions... Or Sons of the Lion...

Thats about all I've got.

**Kravox**

Sons of Panthera

They should be a descendant of the Dark Angels as their Primarch is 'Lion' El'Jonson

I vote for this one. Nice, Subtle, and Simple.

**kravus master of Horus**

Judging by their skin i'd call 'em over cooked.

**diceMaster**

brown man command

**crimsonmicc**

Vile Baboons

**Hückleberry**

Primal Claws.

**Mattlov**

I recommend the name I ALWAYS recommend:

BACON FORTRESS

**templeorks**

Heres one The Emperors Pryde.

**brother noobicus**

I like the chapter emblems of the lion's head. Red Lions or Crimson Lions may be a good name. Imperial Lions?

**Magpiesouth**

It's been said and voted for twice already. There's really no better choice for a Chapter with your storyline.

Emperor's Pride; it wins. You can try variations:

Imperial Pride
Astral Pride

Or since you liked the idea of including the name of your Chapter's homeworld:

The Emperor's Fury
Imperial Fury
The Pride of Fury, etc.

But really, the Emperor's Pride wins. A lot. It's very winning.

Cheers.

This one!

A very inspired name with some fluff-worthy background. Even better if you change the name of their homeworld to Nemea.

By the way, it feels somewhat nice to see some Africa-inspired SM, good that you found a unique niche.

**Kuchulainn**

Crimson Claws

**The_mini_painter**

Prowling Lions works well IMO

**General_Erko**

The Xhosa Spears.

Alternately, The Sons of Shaka.

Iklwa Marines.

Iklwa or Assegai.

A short Zulu thrusting weapon, so called because of the sound made by the spear as it impaled the body and the sucking sound it made as it was withdrawn from the body.

This. Although, Scions of Nemea seems a little long for me as most chapters are just 2 or 1 word titles (BA, DA, UM, BT, GK...) maybe:

The Nemean Heralds
The Nemean Arbiters
The Emperor's Askari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Askari)
The Imperial Askari

Or some variation of the above ;P

Ladies and Gents I appreciate all your recommendations. I will be going with fanstastic!'s recommendation of The Emperor's Pride. I will be taking some of the other titles and applying them to the "tribes", or now "prides" that make up the various companies of the chapter. Thanks again to all for the great ideas and kind comments.

...Itty Bitty Kitty Committee was a real close second.

Cheers

**Imperial Monkey**

aww, I liked sons of the pride. Still These are good, i like that you're ruining GW's universe of white folk
