title sums it up. whats the funniest name you've see someone give to thier HQ's?

i have a friend who named his SM captian: Davian Octavian

My wife has named Ghazghkull Thraka Ghazzypoo.

My friend likened Marneus Calgar to gourmet pizza. His justification was that they are both overpriced, less satisfying on the tabletop than their alternatives and they both think they're better than everything else on the menu.

Not quite what you asked, but I liked it

MMM... gotta be Captain Sicillian.

Or, Canis Wolfborn...

Or Typhus...

Or Angron, just cause all those names sound like what they are meant to do... hey, wait a minnit!

I like those sorts of names, the ones that grind on me are the random ones just added for flavour.

I named a Noise Marine Cheeseburga.

Well Slaanesh is the god of indulgence...

I named my Terminus Ultra, The Fail Tanker.

One of my friends named his Captain. Captain RAGGGGGEEEEEEEEeeee.

Then another one called one of his Marines. Captain PLANET. because he had the similar colors and the painter is planning on modeling him kicking someone in the nads...

Canis Wolfborn. Good god, it's just horrible.

You dont really see alot of funny names out there. If you want a name that makes you facepalm Canis is up there, as is the Sanguinator (OK, we get it, Blood, Sparkly vampires in armor) The next BA character is going to be Bloody Bloodington, Grand Vampire of sparkles, Master of bloody blood. His Rhino will be painted like a Red Cross blood drive bus that runs off... well gas probably

My Warboss is Grakka da Crakka (boss of da Kurb Stompaz), an homage to my friends Warhammer online Avatar.

My first Warboss, the Invincible Krabface Jacksun.

This.

Not really a character name; But i did make my Wife a unit of Slugga Boyz, all models have no hair nor helmets, pants painted as blue-jeans, and white tank-tops.

Unit Name: Da Skinz boyz

In Warmachine whenever i fielded a war dog with the butcher; I'd call him "fluffy"; and the Scrap jack is commonly referred to as Scrappy(or at least it used to be). I played Khador obviously.

Old One Eye....

Seriously, even for a Tyranid, I would've thought they could come up with a better name. When you have names like "Zoanthropes" and "Doom of Malan'tai", how does "Old One Eye" fit in?

me and my brother can never pronounce ghazgakull so we just call him "waaagh-butt"

The Old One Eye model was made like 8 years ago

I'm pretty proud of my "custom" commander Dante...

Commander Thelonious "Strong Jaw" Jackson. And yes, every time he is referenced, you have to say the whole name.

All of my HQs and Sergeants are named Todd.

Marshal Todd, Reclusiarch Todd, Castellan Todd, Sgt. Todd, Captain Todd, and so forth.

In the future, there is only war...and Nepotism.

In a recent Apoc game, the Imperial side fielded Inquisitor Sophie.

I like my Nob Waagh! banner-holder, Keef Moone.

Grandmaster Blindo McSenile Pants.

So named after my buddy's Grandmaster charged into combat, wiffed on all but one of his attacks, and rolled a 1 to wound on the one that did hit.

I have an ork burna boy that has a cigar that I painted with a yellow tank that has a big simily face on it. His name is The Comedian.


Who watches The WatchBoyz?

we call my buddy's Mephiston, Muffy.

During 2nd ed (when he was essentially my entire army), my Chaos Lord was known as Belfonté, Dark Lord of Dairy Products.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Also, have a buddy with an Ork and Gretchin duo named (and modeled) Batork and Goblin.

The name of my Warboss is Steve, in honor of the fallen commisar. Also, I love to see the faces of people when the banner on his back has "STEVE'S WAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

We were playing BFG and with a Latin dictionary came up with these impressive-sounding-but-ridiculous Latin names:

Morosa Vacca (Moody Cow)

Formidolosus Mullus (Formidable Mullet)

My friend named his chaplain with powerfist "Huggy Bear" because he looks like he wants to give you a nice powerfist hug.

There was an Ork warboss IIRC named "Boss Gob-Nutz" which I found to be rather comical.

I have Space Marine Sergeant Fisticus, the only Space Marine to have two power fists.

Not in 40k, but in a video game. There is a guy named Wang Johnson, and he's in multiple games (i think its either the civ series or the black and white series). My brother an I noticed as the comp started assaulting the city and got beaten back, Wang was the only one who died. Poor Guy

Well.. GW in their Infinite Wisdom named one of the WHFB Lizardman Skink Heroes.... Tiktaq'to.

Ouch.

And the floating Slaan Priest - Lord Kroak

Double ouch.

On a personal level.. most of my Sisters of Battle (Order of St Ursula) vehicles and HQ are named after OSU Buckeye football legends, and they read inspirationally from the Book of St Hayes before every match.
