I need help naming Chaos marine squads and vehicles...

1 Nurgle lord: Skorge the Plagued?
5 Chosen Nurgle marines: the Corrupted ones?
Nurgle Rhino: the Corrupted cart?
10 Plague marines: Children of Decay?
Nurgle Rhino: the Dealer of Decay?
10 Plague marines: Plague Warts?
Nurgle Rhino: the Wartwheel?
Nurgle predator: the Plaguestalker?

I name my squads after Judas Priest songs. The Hellions, The Jugulators, etc...

I am betting you can do a wikipedia search on some good metal bands and find more inspiration.

just search up types of diseases and conditions etc.

like name one of your tanks "morbidus"
and another "Sepsis"

;D

and you can add a little to it like uhhh "Sepsis carrier" or "Sepsis THE carrier" something like that haha

More ideas?

I named all my characters and gave each of them specific "retinue" units.



I have a quead of 'zekers called "The Rippers"

A squad of Chosen called "Fists of Korvellus" (korvellus being my armies Lt who always rolls withthem in apoc games)



For normal units i tend to come up with a suitable name for the chapmion and name the squad that, similar to the way SM squads are named.

I tend to name my vehicles more than my infantry anyway:


Land Raider "Tide of Wrath"
Land Raider "Bitter Legacy"
Shadowsword "Warp Hammer"
Brass Scorpion "Blood Glaive"
Dreadnought "Tridus"
Dreadnough "Deimos"




This sounds stpuid, but if you are looking for names with specific meaning try this baby names website:

you can type in a meaning or an ethnic origin and it will give a list of potential names. I used this to name all my characters and sergeants in my Crimson Fists army.
