Marshall Bretton Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Right so I would like some help from the community here, I really enjoy making up background for my armies and characters, but I suck at making up names, so would like some help. My latest character conversion is going to be a Great Wolf from the chapters past. He will be made from a conversion of the Forge World Abbadon model using the rules for Logan Grimnar as they fit quite well. I need a name for this chapy though, does anyone know where I can find a list of past Great wolves that I can steal, or have any suggestions for Nordic or Celtic heroes from real history that would be good? My army uses more of a celtic theme where possible rather than the normal nordic theme, makes them a bit different hence why that is one possible source of names.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 It's what I use for naming some of my characters. As for the Lords of the past, I cannot help. But I assure you there are older, wiser and better looking members here who can!! :P End of Line Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291960-help-naming-a-great-wolf/#findComment-3707879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjdudey Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 My Process is, pick a name which matches the character I want him to have, then look for a translation in either old Celtic or Nordic dictionaries. So for instance: Wolf Priest Night Wolf = Nott Valdyr Wolf Lord Mjod Belly = Mjod Vidyr (He's a drinker!!!) Rune Priest Wolf Beard = Ulf Skegg These are few character from the narrative campaign I am currently running.
