What should I name my Chaos Baneblade? I have a few ideas such as: Sadistic Glee, and Blunt Force Trauma. But, I was wondering if anyone knew of any interesting names that have historic significance.

What army is it for?

Slanesh: Decadence, Reloaded
Khorn: Fist of the Blood God
Tzeentch: A Thousand Rounds
Nurgle: Krusty, The Fresh Maker

Undivided: Haliburton

it is for a world eaters khorne army

One of the World Eaters most horrific autrocities was known as the Cleansing of Ariggata. You could play off that name with something like "Ravager of Ariggata", "Bleeder of Ariggata", or even get a little alliteration with "Agonizer of Ariggata." You can also always play off the Khorn themes of Duty and Blood. "Rites of Blood", or " Blood's Duty" are suggestions for those themes. Another angle you could take would be something praising Angron himself. You could call it "Angron's Wrath" or something like that.

thank you very much I hadnt thought of that

Depending on your armie's standing with Angron, all sorts of variants can be used - just look at imperial names and replace 'emporer' with 'Angron RAWWWR'

i don't know about you, but  i always include some random comedy on the sides of my vehicles, for instance, for your baneblade, something along the lines of "rated 5 michelin eight pointed stars" or some crap!

Should I ever get myself a Brass Scorpion I intend to call it the "Castratikron" and play the song of the same name from the Metalocalpse album when it comes onto the field.

As for a World Eater baneblade, Tbh anything to do with blood,death and karnage is good. Though as they are THE close combat specialists of Chaos I'd say "The pussy option" or "Only when the last chain axe has broken" are appropriate monikers also.

I have a few names for Imperial machines but I'm not sure about historically significant names for the WEs. Maybe something to do with Istvaan. "Glory of Istvaan" or "Istvaan Butcher". Sorry they are a bit cheesy I haven't had much sleep.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

The Imperial Star Destroyers typically have cool names for that you could use for a big cool tank. Avenger, Chimera, Gorgon, Executor, Iron Fist, Vengeance, etc

But if you want to be more original the demon names sound neat.

You could also desecrate the Imperial name. Like, Immaterium Dominus!

thats a good idea to

If you're doing Star Destroyer's names then definitely use Dominator. It just sounds like slaanesh. Though judgin by your Avatar you're a Khorne fan.

You've got that right. WORLD EATERS FOR LIFE!!! or death you know either way pleases khorne

Blood Hammer. The word hammer makes anything awesome.

How'sabout this.

"Orgy of Blood"

My Baneblade's name is Malefactor.

I know, it's a Tyranid genus, but I liked the name - I run an IG army based as a human supplement force to my Black Templars.

You could call it "Chariot of the Betrayer" if Kharn rolls with your list.

Hm. Let's take a look at White Zombie songs for some inspiration on this...that's usually a good source for Chaos names.

- The Agony (not bad...)
- Grease Paint and Monkey Brains (okay, maybe not but it sounds good)
- El Phantasmo and The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama (okay, definitely not, but you've got to admit it's a great name!)
- Creature of the Wheel (not bad)
- Thunder Kiss (pretty good)
- Black Sunshine (getting warmer)
- Soul Crusher (yeah, now we're in the right territory)
- Grindhouse (that'd work)
- I Am Legend (could do)
- Warp Asylum (that'd be fairly appropriate)
- Feed the Gods (yeah, that could be good)

good suggestions Death By Monkeys

Or, howsabout "Death by Monkeys"

HOW CAN YOU NOT CHOOSE THIS?!?

maby you could use some latin on ur tanks... or some ancient greek... it is like pre-herresy thingy
like imperatoris ira... ( anger of the emperror) ... ... but i have some latin books under my bed... dont knwo if you could use it...
............... or eternal darkness... aeternus (eternal) dakness... dont know the word right now

fatdancinghairyguytankofthesixties = maby a good name?

El Phantasmo and The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama < the winner for me...

Name the tank "Bend over now", and write on the ammo "and kiss your goodbye!" Yeah, I know... at first it sounds more Slaanesh

....bend over now.... yeah it realy sounds slaanesh...: O

Wow... El Phantasmo and The Chicken-Run Blast-O-Rama is an AMAZING name for a tank. I would think you would write "El Phantasmo" on the body and "The Chicken-Run Blast-o-Rama" on the main gun. XD

In terms of names Ian Banks Culture ship names always take the cake for me : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ships_(The_Culture)

So Much For Subtlety
Killing Time
Revisionist
not very khorn-y though...

yeah thats the problem with good names, is that most of them dont fit for khorne

How about Infractus Mucro? It means broken sword. my friend has 1 called '11 barrels of gruesome death' thats pretty khorney.
