War Angel Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Greetings.... Brothers? This is my first time entering this sub forums sacred halls, and I come in search of your advice. As my first tanks near completion, I'm wondering what to name the tanks, squadron, ext. so my question is, what are standard naming procedures for these mighty war machines? Also are there any programs out there that can generate names? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277499-question-for-the-mechanicus/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJacksUserName Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 That would depend on a number of factors. Some tanks have seen centuries or more of service and have been named long before their current crew were ever born and how these got their names are part of the myth and legend of the tank. Some tanks earn their name in those centuries of war. Whether by surviving unbeleivable odds or by destroying untold numbers of it's foes. I imagine some tanks would be given names by the mechanicus. Especially if they are of sufficient complexity and rarity to make their manufacture a notable event. (bane blades, titans, etc) Otherwise I would assume most tanks would be named either by their crew or their chapter/regiment. As for good names for tanks that would depend on you. Some like to find a word or phrase that sounds fearsome and translate it into (pseudo) Latin. Other simply forgo the translation. My titans name is Ultima Ratio Regum (the last argument of kings) so you can guess what my preference is. I also like to look up the names of star destroyers from star wars. The empire has some good names for their capital ships.

IamJacksUserName Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I usually just google 'star destroyer names'. But here are a couple that I think would work well. The Emperor's Will The indomitable The executioner The Emperor's revenge The marauder The invincible The relentless The vengeance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/277499-question-for-the-mechanicus/#findComment-3404411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
