Help me name my Cowboys & Dragons 4e setting

Asmor

First Post
So I'm going to be running a campaign that's themed on D&D meets Cowboys & Indians, set in the late 19th century and centered on the conflicts between an expanding rail road company and the native tribes who they're upsetting. Without getting into too many details, the primary races are Humans (Europeans) and Dragonborn (Native Americans), with Half-Orcs and Minotaurs also as options for PCs and a couple other choice races as NPCs.

Magic is extremely rare; in fact, the PCs may well be the only arcane or divine casters in the game. Primal magic is a bit more common, though, among the dragonborn.

As far as equipment goes, guns are in, magic items are out, and the only options for armor are cloth and leather.

So... any idea for names?

EDIT: I've decided to go with Iron Dragons. Thanks everyone!

The Weird, Weird West. :angel:
 


"The Good, the Bad, and the Scaly"

"Tomestone"

"Treasure of the Sierra Madre"

Oh wait, that last one is an actual movie title. Sure does fit D&D, though. :)
 

Thanks for the ideas so far, keep 'em coming! I tend to like things a bit simpler, but there's lots of great potential in here.

Scales, Spikes & Steam

Alliteration is always a plus. :D

"Lead & Dragonfire"

"Tracks of the Iron Dragon"

I think "Iron Dragons" might have some potential, actually...

The Weird, Weird West. :angel:

Wasn't Deadlands or something else subtitled The Weird West?

"Scales & Six-Shooters: Adventures on the Basilisk Frontier"

Either Scales & Six-Shooters or The Basilisk Frontier would be nice, actually. I think I may just call the land they're exploring the Basilisk Frontier or something along those lines...

"Tomestone"

I'm a sucker for a pun, but that implies a more magical setting which is definitely not what I'm going for. Nice name, though!

Manifest Lizardry
Curse the Bison! Full steam ahead!
Dragonsmoke on the tracks
The phantom hoard on the lone prairie where the wikiups roam
 

"Claw Hill"
"Dragons East" (if you want to go with a comedic touch, John Candy cameo optional)
"Gazing Saddles" (as long as we're going with the basilisk theme...)
"Dragontrain"
"Scales of the Old West"
