Please keep them coming, as for the paint job it is a attached tank company to Catchcans. The main color is battleship grey with blue and white stripes as unit identitification at the nose. The weathing is alot of rust at the bottom and near the front with minor rust on the turret, with the weapons kept pretty much pristine, (they know that the business end is for).

Regards,

The catchcans are the anvil so you can name the tank the hammer or:

immovable object
force multiplier
2+2 = you die
Snaggle Tooth
The Old Ball and Chain
Bacon (lol too funny)
Broad side of a Barn
Bullet Proof
Righteous fury
Hellraiser
Lost LT
Redemption

My friends 3 best Russ' are "Lemmy","Queen Elizabeth", and "Good Ship Gwendolyne."

Naming tanks after European monarchs seems to be the way to go.

Name it machinery... Then you can always shout ''Hey Girls! Look at my Machinery!''

I vote for Boom-Box

I thought of another:

Anything But A 1

Well, whats the fluff on the army? Are they roight-n-propa stiff-backs? Are the dog-soldiers? Are they chem-dogs? are they Mechanicum tied?
If they are stiffbacks, something with a title would be good. If they are traitorous, "prospector of pain" is an example. If they are dog soldiers, either a mockery of the stiff-back title or, the name of a girlfriend would work well. Giselde, lady punishment, madam dominatrix, and so forth. Chem dogs? Obscura's Bliss, Lho's Last Blow, etc. Mechanicum would be the latin you are avoiding. Go along army fluff, and see from there.

Also: dont forget that you can add other decals to give the tank more character. If its the name of a lover, paint on a broken hearts representing kill markings, If they are elitists, iron crosses, scum-soldiers, can do the straight lines. Other options for denoting kill markings are the ones the germans used in ww2 of white stripes painted on the barrell of a tanks gun. If they are trophy hoarders/chaotic, bits from the enemy tanks that have been spiked onto the tank (also representing kill-counts)

Hello,
So far I am thinking on the name "Boom Box" and a girls name starting with 'b' as it does fit the naming convention of tank companies, now I just have to vet them to the owner of the tank. I have attached a picture to give people a better idea of it's looks.

My Demolishers named " The Jerk" cause well he is to everything on the table.

I am adoring this thread. I'm starting an IG army (gawd, why) and I'm going to have A LOT of Chimeras; naming each tank just sounds like more fun and more excuse to be creative with paint.

Staying on topic, there's the possibility of naming them after songs and/or singers. Because who doesn't want a battle cannon named after an opera singer?

Call it 'Matt Ward' (Said in Team America 'Matt Damon' kinda way)
Give it 3 crew members, a blood angel, a necron and a monkey.

Ol, Explodey.
Explodie Von Ordinatus.
'they didn't see it coming'.

Hello,
Sadley my personal choices in music might not fit this, as I listen to 70s gettofunk and singers like Barry White, however "Love you a little more" might be fun, or James Brown's "It's a Man's World". Tom Jones "Sex Bomb" might be fun as well.

Carl

Foxy, its a girl name, in a way. plus it can be referencing the rust on its armor.

Thomas
or
Chaos Crushing Cheese Chomper

If you want a slogan how about
Marines do it in their Power Pants.

Because who doesn't want a battle cannon named after an opera singer?
