What models have similar names across army books and codex?

I'm thinking Warriors/Swordsmen/etc.

Thanks!

Well, there's necron warriors, tyranid warriors and dark eldar warriors.

Warstore has a search function. That does not include GW but the GW site has the same.

Do the Codex entries call them such, or do they just say "Warriors"?

Necron Warriors are just listed as "Warriors". Tyranid Warriors are listed as "Tyranid Warriors". Not sure about Dark Eldar right now (I only know the first two from having looked it up because of gallery tags).

The Dark Eldar 'dex lists them as Warrior Squads of between 10 & 20 Dark Eldar Warriors

Blood Angels, Dark Angels and Space Marines all have Tactical Squads, and there a few other similarities IIRC.

Okay, so we'll have to name those individually.

Blood Angel Tactical Squad

Makes sense.

Someone sent me a PM so I want to know about 40k and Fantasy:

What Chaos entries are the same across the freakin' Chaos books. They make my
head hurt.

This is from a Survivor game I made.

Black Guard (DE)
Phoenix Guard (HE)
Glade Guard (WE)
Eternal Guard (WE)
Temple Guard (LM)
Grave Guard (VC)
Sternguard (SM)
Vanguard (SM)
Honour Guard (BA)
Wolf Guard (SW)
Wraithguard (E)
Tyrant Guard (Nids)
Imperial Guard (Duh)

You could even add Warmachine units if you wanted.

Winterguard (K)
Stormgurad (Cyg)
Forgeguard (Mercs)
Temple Flameguard (PoM)
Umberguard (PoM)

Hilarious.

We're avoiding abbreviations for clarity in the article names. That's why you see
Warhammer 40,000 instead of Warhammer 40k. That's also why you see me
create articles called The Protectorate of Menoth instead of PoM or Protectorate or
Menoth.

So if there's a conflict, race names will be typed in full. I feel secure in calling
[[Wraithguard]] and [[Winterguard]] , but warriors definitely need to have
[[Kriel Warriors]].

Also, WHFB and WH40k take precedence, so I'm giving them normal names. So
you'll see me append UNIT to Winterguard.

[[Winterguard Unit]]
[[Kovnik Officer Solo]].

It isn't that much of a surprise that wargame armies have units called warriors and guards, TBH.

So maybe some good ones would be:

Names that probably need an additional adjective

Archers
Crossbowmen
Guard
Spearmen
Swordsmen
Warrior

Things with weapons.

What about

Fantasy vs. 40k Daemons

Special characters? Etc?

Thanks!

Let me start with some easy questions:

Are Chosen called Chosen in both systems?

Bloodletters?

The Daemonlords?

Are all Daemon Princes the same?

I think Nurgle is known as "Steve" in WHFB...

Here you go malf, I got these from the GW website so they should be up to date

Daemons:

Hrm, so Chaos Daemons is the official name and it looks like they avoid doubling
up, too. I'll have to look at the GW site more often (gasp,horror!)

Thanks.

Flames of War has British Guards teams, platoons and companies

I'll leave that to you and Hordini
