BrotherMoses Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 So I've got these two Baal Predators. One is the old kit and the other is new. I think I have a pic of the old one completed in my albums actually. Anyways, I need a name for them that fits my current naming theme. All my names come from or are somehow related to Dante's Inferno(book not the game) or the Divine Comedy. E.G.: My chaplain is named Chaeron. His transport is a rhino called "The Acheron". As some of you know, Chaeron was the ferryman who ferried the souls of the damned across the river Acheron into Hell. This is a good example of the theme I was going for here. So I need to name my Baal Predators. Here are some of the ideas I have so far: Name them related to the virtues: Name them after the virtues in Purgatorio. So my flamestorm Baal might be "Purity" while my Assault Cannon Baal might be Zeal, or perhaps some sort of 40k version of the virtues. Name them after a geographical facet of Hell, Purgatorio, or Heaven: I'm not sure exactly yet. Acheron is a river in hell so maybe I could find something similar for my Preds What is off limits: Main characters from the Divine Comedy and demons. Beatrice is also taken. Any suggestions would be cool. Lets brainstorm a bit to find a name to honour these machine spirits brothers.

Lets brainstorm a bit to find a name to honour these machine spirits brothers. i'd say lets go with the virtues. purity works great for the flamestorm (flamers are used to burn and purge anything related chaos thus 'purifying' them in a sense.)

KhorneHunter57x Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I personally think that you should go with the names of the rivers in the underworld.

Baal Dropout Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Indeed, agree on the virtues as names (aggressive ones for AssCan and ... 'enlightening' (?) ... ones for the FlamStrm) (OT though, I named my two AssCan Baals as 'Fury' and 'Steel') Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208944-naming-my-baal-predators/#findComment-2493125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 maybe something like the names of the norse hells. look up wikipedia for there names. or if you adventurous you could name them after D&D hells like Stygia, or Cania... or something like that.

vharing Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Love the idea. I was going to get a new Baal kit and just call it Dantes Inferno Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208944-naming-my-baal-predators/#findComment-2494083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Admetus Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I like KhorneHunter's idea for the rivers of the underworld. You've got 5 to pick from: Styx (the main one that most people know), its Greek for "hate", Phlegethon - a burning river, great choice for a flamestorm, Lethe - the waters of forgetfulness, Acheron - the river of pain (a good choice for any Baal!), and Cocytus - related to lamentation or sorrow. Any of the first four would probably work brilliantly, I'd probably go with Phlegethon on a flamestorm, Lethe on a regular one, and Acheron on either a regular or a flamestorm (you know what? I'm just going to pinch the idea and call my Baal Acheron :) ) +edit+ just noticed you've already used Acheron. Well, still four to pick from :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/208944-naming-my-baal-predators/#findComment-2494481 Share on other sites More sharing options...
