lol, that one has come up about a half dozen times. i hope whichever name they pick, they carefully scan all the posts for variations of the same thing to find the first person to suggest it (iron sights/ironsights/etc).
Whoops, I have no doubt they will be very thorough and fair.
I'm just glad I don't have to slog through them all 
Thanks for pointing that out! I guess there are bound to be repeats.
*edit* Just a thought.... How do things work according to post time of day/time zones on Dakka?

"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!" 
I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

Oh, here is another one!
ElectrumExecutioners-
Known for their expensive rifles and the their costly service, these aptly named marksmen are worth their weight in precious metals. Often on patrol with their more armor clad brethren, their primary function is to scout ahead of the army, sifting through forest and mountain for any signs of danger. They pick off sentries using traditional and silent crossbows, switching over to the loud and frightening longuns when traditional battle commences. Their deadly reputation is secured, as they often have the honor of mowing down fleeing enemies with their dealy marksmanship.

"I.. I know my time has come" Tethesis said with a gasp, a torrent of blood flowing from his lips.
"No! Hang on brother!!" Altharius could feel the warmth slip away from his dear sibling's hands
Tethesis's reached out his bloodied arm to Altharius's face.
"I..I have one final request"
Altharius leaned close to listen, tears welling in his once bright eyes.
"make sure th..they put my soulstone in a tank... it'll be... real fethin' cool"
"Yes, you're gonna be the most fethin' cool tank!!" burning hot tears streaked down Altharius's face, as he held his brother's soul in his grasp.
