FashaTheDog Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Just as an amusing aside, since everything in 40K starts with the most over-the-top ridiculous and then cranks it up to '11,' wouldn't the 40K equivalent of "danger close" be "target me?"

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 My IRL tank was named Aces'n'Eights....in 40k, I have WAY TOO MANY vehicles (and more all the time, like any good treadhead) to name them all The pinup would look better on an Avenger Strike Fighter.... Granted, but I don't have one, nor have I the inclination to get one, because Forgeworld...

No it would just be 50 meters instead of 500. I can give you a grid coordinate that will get you to within 10 meters of a target, just with a map and protractor (not the kind you use for drawing angles in math class)... Still since it's a Valk, it's bringing troops to the fight right? JTACs bring Helos down on their transmissions all the time...

Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Is "Just Shoot Me" a good name for an Astra Militarum vehicle, or will that be tempting fate?

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Um... Maybe he means he has more vehicles than men to crew them? Or maybe he means... He has too many Tauroxes and not enough chimeras? Or maybe he means he has too many transports and not enough tanks... Or does he mean that he has too many Aircraft, and not enough ground vehicles... I don't really understand either... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304535-naming-vehicles/page/2/#findComment-3979395 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefzilla Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I remember having to train a mechanic to load because we were short troopers. He could fix anything on an Abrams but it was a bit scary having him in the turret with live ammunition.

Ulrik_Ironfist Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Stovepipes are easy... So you know how they joke about air force weapons training? You know how they say the most dangerous thing in the world is an airman with a rifle... they're true, all of it. I had one kid put his weapon back together with parts left over... one kid did that, and managed to get the bolt carrier in backwards... go figure that one out. All we'd had is a class before that, and I was weapons monitor. It made me want to punch babies...

Lololol also concerning Sisters and celibacy. Ciaphas Cain's book "Cain's Last Stand" Pretty definitively states that Sisters are not Celibate, just too busy to get laid most of the time. However, if there is not that much to do (i.e. Instructor duty at the schola) then they fill that boredom like any other human being.

FreeNemesis Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hi, I hope my english is good enough. I am from Berlin, Germany All of my vehicles have names. I give them the names because of what they did in a battle and from real-life moments. I have a Catachan army of about 3500 points. The names are: „ Foes“ – Leman Russ – It was a lettering on my helmet. I was a Leopard 2 Tank Commander in the German Bundeswehr. „Boom Box“ – LR Demolisher – a song of my favorite band „BattleTaxi“ – Chimera - The name says it „No, THIS is DakkaDakka!“ – LR exterminator with 3 heavy bolters and a heavy stubber. My ork-friend hates this tank because even with bf3 it hits like with bf5 „Jack the Ripper“ – Chimera – killed 14 Battlesisters in one game and survived! „No Fear“ – Chimera – the chimera for my CCS with plasma. Allways attacking! „Henry V“ – Hellhound – Henry V said 1421 „War without fire is like sausages without mustard“ „Burn“ - Scout Sentinel – equipted with a Heavy Flamer „Kill all Orks“ - Scout Sentinel – first Match was against Orks and killed many of them „Kamikaze“ - Scout Sentinel – dies nearly every game „No Pain“ - Scout Sentinel - survives nearly every game „can killer“ – Armoured Sentinel – equipted with a plasma gun, killes a 10 man squad death company in 2 turns and kills MANY other SMs / CSMs every game. „spilling blue blood“ – Manticor – in his first match the manticore hits with 11 of 12 5“ pies agains an Tau army. „Buschtrommel“ - Basilisk – Buschtrommel means jungle drum Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304535-naming-vehicles/page/2/#findComment-3983165 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have to ask: Has anyone named an Astra Militarum vehicle "Power armor is for pies!" a phrase from 'Duke Nukem Forever'?
