Hey guys so I have decided to do my own Space Marine chapter the Astral Knights. Now I am not 100% sure but could anyone tell me if this name has already been taken?

Looks like they have been, and are pretty well blown up.

Oh :( oh well il just rename my chapter the Iron Drakes if thats not been taken

Chapter names are reused all the time so don't let the blowing-up stop you

Ive never heard of chapter names being re used before I must admit

So ive decided il compromise names They will be the Astral Drakes

The Iron Drakes were actually mentioned as one of the chapters that went renegade during the Abyssal Crusade. So Astral Drakes sounds and is better

That is good then Fluffwise their geneseed is a mix of Imperial Fist and Iron Hands so they have the stubborn siege loving nature of the fists combined with the cold calculating nature of the iron hands. That and the Iron Hands belief that flesh is weak will certainly make the chapter interesting Paint scheme wise im thinking Leadhbelcher for armour and weapons Power Weapons are painted Hawk Turquiose Baltheser Gold for weapon handles and storm shields and armour trim and ceramite white for skulls.
