Starblayde Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Your two options are to either go with a name for the Machine Spirit itself, which could be like any dreadnought or chapter-fluffy name (Furioso for Blood Angels, Fido for Space Wolves, or whatever :lol: ). Or you could go with a ship-style name such as Storm of Death or Bringer of The Big Shooty Guns, or similar. Thirdly, of course, it could just be something like '1st Company Land Raider Number 5', denoted by it's markings. It all depends on both you and your chapter as to what would be appropriate, really.

Quillen Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 One of my LRC is "DeathBringer" and the other is "Chitty!Chitty! Bang! Bang!" I have also used "Heavy Metal" for a normal LR. As in Come on take a ride, on heavy metal!!!! Anything you like would do fine. Tanks are loved by their crews and hated at the same time. Tanks are alot of up keep and Preventative Mantaince.

Vanger Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You don't have to give them names, but it's fun :lol: I name my Rhinos after mythological horses: Arvak, Alsvid (the two horses that pull the sun), Skinfaxi (Shining Mane, day's horse), Hrímfaxi (Frost mane, Night's horse). The Razorback I have is called Gungnir (Unwavering One, Odin's Javelin) The two Vindaicators Tanngrisnir (Toothgnasher) and Tamgnjóstr (Toothgrinder), which are named after the two goats that pulled Thor's chariot And my two Land Raiders are called Götterdämmerung (which is the german name of Ragnarök/Armageddon and is also a part of Wagner's Der Ring der Nibelungen and Fimbulvetr (Fimbulwinter) which is the name for the 3 winters before Ragnarök. Also one of my SW playing mates called his LR Mjölnir, but that's too obvious of a choice :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179507-tank-names/#findComment-2124536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
