Vulshra Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Given the recent revelation that Dark Angels are given new names when they enter the inner circle, at what rank are they given these names? I.e., are sergeants? Black Knights? or is it just upon induction to the deathwing?

Brother Ramael Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I believe it's upon entering and tbh I bet that there are soooo many overlapping names to better hide the numbers....

jbaeza94 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 All the primaris received their names upon induction into the circle primaris. They weren’t all leaders. Not everyone is in a position of power or authority. Many are incognito to even those in high positions. Easiest one is interrogator chaplain Boreas of the infamous Angels of Darkness novel not knowing of someone’s inner circle affiliation Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369693-dark-angels-names/#findComment-5683205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulshra Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Got it. Thanks for the help. Do you think these would be good DA names?

Chaplain Lucifer Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 A couple there (Kasdaye, Ramon) that don't sound so biblical or angelical but all in all they are good ones for DA!

bigtrouble Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Danjal doesn’t sound very Dark Angely to me, how about Daniel? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369693-dark-angels-names/#findComment-5683601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) So, here's a bit of an observation on the Dark Angels' naming scheme that I've noticed. The general theme for (40k) Dark Angels names are from the Abrahamic (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) faiths. In particular it seems to fall into these categories: People: Ezekiel, Lazarus, Balthasar*, Namaan Demons: Belial, Sammael, Asmodai, Naberius, Molochi, Belphegor Angels: Azrael, Gabriel, Baradiel**, Zadakiel**, Ramiel Names that are nonsense that SOUND like the previous three: Korahael, Sepharon, Belaphor, Nerael * Balthasar is a variant spelling of Balthazar, one of the Three Wise Men, and also a variant of the Babylonian king Belshazzar, mentioned in the Book of Daniel. ** Baradiel is a variant of Barachiel, Zadakiel is a variant of Zadkiel Edited March 27, 2021 by Gederas Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369693-dark-angels-names/#findComment-5683624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulshra Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 I take your points with the names not sounding right, but I find it funny, I do a bit of a religious study, and Danjal and Kasadaye are both important demons (books of Enoch and Daniel respectively). I agree on Ramon, I was thinking spanish knight but will adjust bigtrouble 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369693-dark-angels-names/#findComment-5683635 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’ve always like the names barachiel, he’s the deathwing sergeant from dark vengeance and the deathwing deathwatch marine from space hulk deathwing Another name to add, Naum; the apothecary Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/369693-dark-angels-names/#findComment-5683643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormelyKnownAsSmashyPants Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) If people are interested there is a name generator in PA: Ritual of the Damned, and thanks to the guys in the Death Watch forum, I found this website that seems pretty cool. He offers his Patreon supporters an ink and paper version to print out and use with dice. Of course you can always just pick names from either the one in PA or the one one from Realm of Plastic.
