So, as my Warhound Titan approaches completion, I've yet to come up with a name for it. It's supposed to be from the Legio Invigilata, which is really just my fluff excuse for dual turbolasers (well, that and Invigilata being in Helsreach).

The names I've considered so far:

Righteous Vengeance or Divine Retribution, with it's "twin" (as Warhounds operate in pairs) named the other option. Note that it's still only one Warhound, the other might appear in the future.

Requiem or Elegy, again with it's twin named the other name.

Amaterasu or Raiden, with the same conditions as above.

Of the three, I'm leaning the most toward Amaterasu, simply because I recently played through Okami. It connects nicely to the Wolf-theme of Warhound Titans, as well as the whole Goddess/God of the Sun/Thunder thing with Turbolasers.

I'm also open for suggestions.

Right there. Titans are big deals, they deserve names that echo that. I imagine they'd be viewed by the common man as the Emperor's divine vengeance being brought down upon the enemies of man.

Infernum Gladius - Hell Sword

I dont know. Just thought it would be a fitting name for something that gives out that much destruction.

I think my avatar agrees with you fully @_@

If you're going to use it I'd save Amaterasu for a bigger fancier titan, not the grunt of titans.

Where'd you get the info that Invigilata is blue from? Both the wikis list Invigilata's colours as unknown, Helsreach doesn't say anything on the matter and I've found nothing else.

FML I painted it red!
