As said before , Legion is more "chaos" ,as for ex. even legion of the damned is not purely "clean" . Of coure there are expections but you know morsly is : black legion, alfa legion ect

Crimson Wolves it fits for SM founded from SW

Cromnson guard are arleady a chapter ( there are a link in a above post

So i propose the crimson shadows as a name

Don't make a chapter with the word "Legion" in it's name. There are no more legions...
And calling them the 10th Legion is even worse, since there actually was a thing called 10th Legion and they are Iron Hands.

Crimson Guard would be my choice. Mainly because Guard is a strong word that tells what you stand for. To protect Imperium.

Sorry if someone already noted these things, didn't read the thread that well.

Who is their founding chapter? Should make a big difference to the naming of the successor no?

Your right i should have a bit of lore in here to.

They value tactics and strategy above honor but they does not mean that there is none present. if the task requires a frontal assault so be it. If they can end the war with one shot from a scout sniper. let it be done. if the fighting stops at night they wont. ETC. also reason for The 10th Legion is because i am a huge Dungeon siege Fan and so i like that part of the games lore but i see thats a bad idea. Also i am amending the Crimson Shades name to the Crimson Shadow


Well, that fluff doesn't really add any inspiration for which to choose. I think Crimson Wolves sounds too much like Space Wolves to be a good name for a Codex chapter. The link to Lexicanum shows the Crimson Legion as a lost Blood Angels successor, so again probably not a great name for a Codex chapter. I wouldn't be dissuaded by the tiny amount of info about Crimson Shades or Crimson Guard from using either one of those. There's a paint scheme for Guard, but no one will care. Frankly, I'd be surprised if you ever encountered someone who knew that there was an existing chapter with a different paint scheme, because I don't think they've ever featured in the fluff.

I think both Crimson Shades and Crimson Guard would be good choices. Given the color scheme, I'm more inclined toward Crimson Shades. I don't actually like Crimson Shadow at all, because Shadow is not an appropriate or inspiring collective noun for Marines.

10th Legion is taken. Try to go with a name that suggests their founding or their mentality. I went for Iron Sentinels, it does both and it just sounds awesome
