Darklighter Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Titulum enim Angelica de Sanguine Verba Angelica First I'd like to start with single words that represent and exemplify the Blood Angels way of war, ethos and culture.

Also a thanks to Quixus for some grammer corrections. Nomen Angelica. Many works of fiction can be a source of inspiration when it comes to naming Blood Angels from official cannon to classical literature. Some of the more popular places to find names are Angelic choirs and the Divine Comedy. I've left out the obvious names like the ones used for company captains and special characters, but I'm sure you can find them if you want them.ThanatosKreiosHeironymousPerseusArchelaosKronosIkarosHyperionHaemonOkeanosLykaonDeimosAdrastusPhobosPhotiosChyronAethonLokkenPhaetonAstramaelKharonMetraenOdysseusSepharanZoraelDonatosArculaZargoTraviolaArmandoSpiccaréDrusaniPhaetonAzkaellonErasmusLorenzoFeratoArgastesCleutinMoriarAlichinoBarbaricciaCiampoloCocytusCorsoDonatiDisEunoeForeseMalacodaMalebrancheMalebolgePiccardsSatanScarmiglionErelimOrphanimRaphealEzraAmbrielBarachielCassielErmielGabrielGagielJophielLelielMichaelMurielNurielOrifielPurielRemielZephonZophielFeaturing contributions made by DV8 and Jorre.

A huge thanks to Quixus for translating some common quotes and also Brother Captain Kezef for a huge list of Latin/Italiano quotes. And lets not to forget Imperial Deceit for mentioning the idea and starting the ball rolling. His drop pod picture wasn't half bad either. Philosophiarum et Cogitationes de Verbum Word philosophies and thoughts of BnC members.Just about anything in Latin looks nice. - Imperial DeceitThe Codex cover says Sangunius, I think, so creative typos are permissable. - Brother ChrisGrammar is less important then appearance. - Imperial DeceitSome names I chose just because they sounded cool, others I chose to fit a theme. - DV8Bear in mind that the BA are a mixture of Latin/angelic and renaissance Italian so some Italian phrases or words could be good substitutes for Latin stuff – Brother Captain Kezef[table= Finem et Terminus ] Links and useful site mentions.Google translateWikiquotes Latin proverbs.Lorem IpsumOriginal thread.
