Warplord Titan Princeps of Tzeentch

This strangely reminds me of a Battlestations! game where we named our spaceship the "Decade Duck." It wasn't as cool as the Millenium Falcon.
Also, I vote for the next transport to be named after kronk's Humid Duck. I would buy one of those.

Sounds like the default naming confention for Space Wolves. "When in doubt, add Wolf." "Uhhh......Stepping Wo-" "DON'T ASK QUESTIONS JUST OBEY!"
I'm a fan of Tornadochicken and Typhoon Turkey. 'Specially on Valks.
Hah. I recall two nicknames for the "Screaming Eagle" emblem of the 101st Airborne. The first is, "Puking Chicken", and the second, "Barfing Buzzard." Don't say either to a 101 vet, lest he punch ye in the face.

"I went into a hobby-shop to play m'self a game,
The 'ouse Guru 'e up an' sez "The Guard is weak and lame!"
The Chaos gits around the shelves they laughed and snickered in my face,
I outs into the street again an' grabbed my figure-case."
Oh it's "Angels this" an' "Space-wolves that", and "Guardsmen, go away!";
But it's "Thank you for the ordnance" when the Guard begins to play,
O it's "LOOK AT ALL THE ORDNANCE!" when the Guard begins to play.."

At least its better than the 18th Airborne Corps... they have the "Gaggin Dragon" Even they will call it that.
During WW2, the US had an amphibious plane, the F3F "Duck".. it was a biplane, which means that it would be cool to have a "biplane" styled valk, or some other vehicle and call it a duck

The new weapon naming conventions are just as bad:
For the new ccw in a marine codex take the first word of the codex, then add an appendage
Wolf claws
blood fists
etc etc.
Why not just name the nemesis weapons 'grey hammer' and 'grey sword' etc!
As for original line of names: downpour kakapo!

Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!
