That either isn't used OR is rarely used

One idea i had for a name was: Death's Saviors?. I don't know how original it is, but one name I've been thinking of

**spiralingcadaver**

Are you talking about a homebrew BA successor, or what?

**Agen**

Sorry, yes a successor Chapter., the HQ'd be a chaplain proxy for Lemartes.

Another name idea I had in mind was: Reaper's Jesters

**Brother SRM**

Reaper's Jesters sounds like an Insane Clown Posse cover band in the worst way. Or two cliche army callsigns in a row. Not really in character for Space Marines either.

Have you looked into the Flesh Tearers? They seem up your alley for BA armies, and I mean that both as Blood Angels and Bad Ass. Flesh Tearers rule.

**DeathReaper**

There are a few names that would fit.

Angelis Mortis (Rough translation for Angels of Death)

Dracos Mortis (Rough translation for Dragons of Death)

Caelo Gladios (Rough translation for Heavens Swords)

Gladios De Imperator (Rough translation for Swords of the Emperor)

Imperator Telumis (Rough translation for the Emperors Weapons)

Blood Reapers

**rockerbikie**

Liver Rippers would be a good name.

**Boggy79**

Angry Bob's?

**TheRobotLol**

mortis gladio?

= death's sword

**azazel the cat**

Corpsegrinders
Bloody Crows
Face Stabbers
Death's Head
Oblivion Knights
Kitten Snugglers
Night Terrors
Lemartes and the Grimdark Stab-O-Rama
The Howl From Beyond
Insane Rage Monkies
Evil Midnight Murderers What Murders at Midnight

You're welcome.

**Zakiriel**

Dead Heads.
Totenkopf

**Coolyo294**

The Killinators.

Yeah, Nazi parallels are always a good idea for an army. It never devolves into horrible discussions over what's offensive and what isn't.

Agreed Brother SRM

Though we would not have that issue if people actually gave responses that are not akin to trolling.

I don't understand... I thought 'Dead Heads' just meant you were a fan of Jerry Garcia.

Was Jerry Garcia a Nazi?

I hope you're being sarcastic, but just in case: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_SS_Division_Totenkopf

**DeathReaper**

You could probably get away with Death's Head (But the name is not all that great for a SM legion), as long as you made no references to the WWII Germans.

the other one is right out though.

**Nrljm**

Raging infernos.

But I like the lemartes staborama one posted befor hahhaha

**Agen**

Getting back on topic..., since it seems this thread is starting to drift off from what the question was

**DeathReaper**

Agen, do you like any of the (Real) suggestions thus far?

If not, let us know the theme for your army, that may help in getting you good names for it.

**kb305**

The Penetrators?

your death company death start can be named the penetration station.

**DeathReaper**

He is actually looking for good names to use, not fake/joke names.

**Agen**

The real suggestion that is a very much YES...

My God, yes that was obviously a joke.

While I still prefer "Lemartes and the Grimdark Stab-o-Rama", I do think that the "Blood Crows" works nicely. In Celtic mythology, crows are associated with death on the battlefield, and fits lovely with a jump squad or a Stormraven.

Just keep hitting the button until something catches your eye.

Vermilion Lions

Death Sons
Blood Spectres

Some are pretty silly...Screaming Turtles?

P.S. Not trying to step on your toes DAKKA, just looking to help a fellow gammer.

**cowmonaut**

I always get a chuckle out of "Stealth Turtles". That name generator is good fun.

Really though, the name should not define your theme. What exactly is the style you are going for here? Blood Angels offshoot that is 100% Death Company? What's the actual theme?

Its easier to put a name on things if you can be more clear on what you are looking for. Having a cool sounding name that doesn't mean diddly to your chapter theme is kind of dumb.

**Agen**

Well, once I pick up A. the Grim. I'll be looking to pick up:

x2 dreads, x2 Death Company & x2 assault squads, x1 CC terminator squad. & the codex

**Ray Age**

Keep it simple

The Death Company
