Help decide Regiment & Colonel Name! (Patreon)
Content
AY THERE!
First of all, thank you all for your help this month! I've noticed that, holy crap, it has actually reached over the 2300-milestone - which I honestly did not expect to happen. But it has! And in doing so, I am going to start doing some 'lectures' on how to edit like me for a couple of people interested in helping out with editing, just so I can establish it thouroughly. Who knows, perhaps if I could also upload these videos in the form of tutorials here on Patreon, if anyone else wants to know how to do it!
Nevertheless - for the purpose of this post.
With the upcoming Vulkan/Corax series, I have decided to do something that is mostly just for fun. We've decided to create some new Catachan Jungle Fighter Regiments for the purpose of the Crusade to Terra that Vulkan and Corax are leading.
In 40k, new Regiments are created all the time, especially for events such as Crusades or big wars being fought. But each Regiment must have a name, and each Regiment must have a leader (most often in the form of a Colonel).
Here are some examples:
Regiments joining the crusade:
Catachan II (2nd) - led by Colonel ‘Iron Hand’ Straken
Catachan XXVIII (28th) “Swamprats” - led by Colonel Gator
Catachan MCDXCIX (1499) “Crusaders” - led by Colonel ‘Ham-Fist’ Hogus
So, the first one is probably the most well-known Catachan regiment. The second is also canon, and pretty hilarious. The third we made up. But this is the template you should follow when creating a regiment! Just make sure its numerals are ridiculously high like the one we created, perhaps even numbered closely to ours, just to establish that they were made for the purpose of the Crusade!
Make sure to give the Regiment a 'nickname', as well as the Colonel. A Colonel has to have his nickname, like Straken's 'Iron Hand' and Hogus' 'Ham-Fist'. It is important to Catachan culture to be given a name by your comrades for deeds done in the battlefield.
Otherwise, go nuts, come up with something fun and fitting! We'll be choosing four Regiments & Colonels. And, for an added bonus - one Colonel name I'll be basing on someone who posts here. If you don't want your name used for a Colonel, please make sure to tell me so in your post!
But yeah, that's it for now! I've chosen all proper questions for the next Q&A dealio, and if you don't get in you'll get a new chance for the next podcast episode!
Until then, have a good one! LOVE YOU.
