Paintforthepaintgod Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Was just working on my heresy era army list for my Ultramarines and was wondering if any one had a good list of names for squads and character I could use to name my marines. Can't beat a bit of fluff for your army!! If no list then naming conventions would be good, want to start writing the fluff for my army before I use them for the first time in September Thanks in advance, hope someone can help me out.

Aqui Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I've been using this site as a reference for names for a number of armies I'm working on. I tend to try to work out the mindset of the squad as a whole or the sergeant and select a name that reflects that Also, just noticed that it's your first post! Welcome!

Conn Eremon Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I can't recommend Behind the Name's randomizer tool enough. No other site or resource has ever come close, or been so consistently useful regardless of what I needed it for.

Relict Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 My advice: (1) Watch HBO's Rome and get inspired. (2) Research the organization of a Roman legion in the late-Republic/early-Empire era. (3) Check out the list of common Latin names and pick the ones you like best. (4) Alter those names slightly to account for 30,000 years of linguistic corruption. For example, Cassius becomes Cassian.
