Grand Master Raziel Secundus Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Hi folks, I'm going to be getting a couple titans soon and I was wondering what methods are there for naming them. Are they named after events, special heroes, locations of battles... Any help would be appreciated... BTW, they are Warlords if that makes a difference Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Full-choke Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I name mine using gods of war, death, destruction, etc. For example: Legio Erratus - Erra: an Akkadian plague god Letum Lokis - Loki: Norse Giant God; Letum: Death, Ruin, Annihilation Mortis Arestes - Ares: Greek God of War; Mortis: Deadly, Death bringing Hadur Nex - Hadur: Hungarian God of War; Nex: Violent death, Slaughter Mortis Canis - Deadly Dog (One of the Bulldog Titan Designs I did fluff on) Hope that helps. I don't know if there is really anything that makes a Titan name but that is what I came up with. They all sound good and I think the names fit well within the 40k universe. That and they all have meaning...something at least you will know... F-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Some really cool latin phrases usually work well: ad victoriem - to victory honoris causea - for the sake of honour ira deorum - wrath of the gods nulli secundus - second to none semper paratus - always prepared semper vigilans - always vigilant Not particularly great, just a couple I thought of as examples.

Algoroth Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Warlords definately deserve the god theme, or something presumtuous, like "Victor Eternal" or "Emperor's Judgement". Dare I ask where one can "get a couple warlords" from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebooter Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I've always liked latin phrases... In a RP my Titan was the Eternus Severitas. Translates as Eternal Vigour. Worked for me :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 deus tempestus- god of the storm dies irae- day of wrath aquila ignis- eagle fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senseilord Ashahara Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 'High Gothic' ( Latin or Latin-esque) phrases are always good for this sort of thing. When naming them, keep in mind that to the Mechanicus Titans are walking embodiments of the Omnisire, none more so than the Warlords (and Imperators, but that goes without) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inter. Chap. Hartmudus Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I just got a Warhound Titan myself and i'm thinking of either Capeador super Abyssus --> Victor over Hell Victoriem super Abyssus --> Victory over Hell Deus Volo Ei --> God Wills It Vereor Deus Ira --> Fear God's Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Delias Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 As of now I only have the titan legion named: Legio Straumus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion in the Stars Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 For english names, I'd suggest taking a look at the names that the Royal Navy uses for their ships: Daring, Audacious, Astute, etc. For latin, go pester a Catholic priest and ask him for the Latin versions of the Psalms or Lamentations. Lamentations is better, since the writer (Daniel?) is calling out to God to strike down his enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
