Hey, I'm wondering about some funny and/or cool names for my vehicles.

I have:
Vanquisher - Wingthor's Hammer (Wingthor is count-as Pask)
Executioner - Cemetery Express ("Where is your god now?" - written on front armor)
Battle Tank - Emperor's Flyswatter

I need:
Another Vanquisher
Commissar Exterminator
Another Battletank
Valkyrie/Vendetta
Avenger Fighter
Hellhound

Any ideas?

try using a English to Latin Translator or greek or something..

http://www.stars21.com/translator/english_to_latin.html

Emperor's Hammer = Imperator Malleos.
God of fire = IGNIPOTENS

Never know..

I actually don't like theese latin/greek/whatever names. I prefer english. Just like I wrote in the first post.

Vanquisher: Predator Predator

Commissar Exterminator: Morale Booster

Battle Tank: Mean Bitch

Vendetta: Drake's bane

Hellhound: Pathfinder finder

CHEERS... thanks for making it CLAR what you want.......(CLEAR)

Hellhound = Light of the Emperor (need a light) phoenix flame, I can't see you... step into the light,. Barbecue, BBQ.

steel hammer , Ton of trouble, Metal gears, chariot of fire, EAT this,

Another Vanquisher: Foebegone (a pun on 'woebegone', meaning sad or miserable in appearance. Because nobody gives Vanquishers enough credit).
Commissar Exterminator: Ol' Faithful.
Another Battletank: Wooden Mallet.
Valkyrie/Vendetta: Terra's Bosom/Terra's Ire. (bosom because it carries infantry safely, ire because it expresses anger well)
Avenger Fighter: Thunderbolt.
Hellhound: Sunspot (because Cerberus means 'spotted').

Maybe the commissar tank relating to somthing like iron will, or somthing other relating to not backing down?

Tank, maybe
I like big hulls I cannot lie

Hell hound,
Pyromania, pyromaniac

Thanks everyone for answers.
I made few mine:

Hellhound: Extinction Inc.
Commissar tank: End of all hope!
Chimera: Mettle Bawx
Battle Tank: Dakka Wagon


I like Furyou's Ol' Faithful for commissar's tank.

Keep posting, I belive it can help some other guy too.

Baneblade: WIZARD ALLGONE

You have to question the wisdom of giving a Commissar an Exterminator of all things.

I named one of my Preds "Assimus Poundus". There's a lot you can do with pseudo-Latin, in case you want to make any modifications.

I have named most of my tanks:

Vanquisher: Get sum!
Punisher: Submit
Chimera/Hydra: Glory seeker
Manticore: Sunderer of hope
Hellhound/banewolf: Purifier
Baneblade: Oath of Allegiance
Vulture: Death from above

Some are poetic, some are Badass

I'm on the opposite side of the fence. I like more serious style names for my tanks.

Hellhound: Hellcat
Vendetta: Wrath
Punisher: Steel Rain
Executioner: Hades

That sort of thing. Those are the planned names, the tanks themselves are still not yet built.

I always enjoyed using play titles for names.
Shakespeare works well but you can switch it up.

Just some general tank names:
"Tread Softly"
"Homewrecker"
"Heroic Intervention"
"Martian/Armageddon/Necromunda/[forgeworld] Iron"
"Big Bertha"
"Hole in One"
"Million-Dollar Wound"
"Surgeon General"

Good name for an Eradicator or Hellhound:

Charmander

Just because when you are about to shoot with it you can yell "Charmander I choose You!!!"

Borrowed from HALO for a MBT:

Ladies Like Superior Firepower

Hmm, I like this. I need to finish my tanks names, so far the only one named is Xenophon the Baneblade.

Hellhound: B is for BURN YOU BASTARDS!

Avanger/Vanquisher w/ snow camo: Great White Hunter

Punisher: Little Daisy (pic of a flower)

General names: Pretty Lady, Lady Moon

Well there's a tank in my old uni city, one of few ww1 suvivers called flirt 2, say its its 38,000 year old liniage.

Just random thought

(The first tanks where built there on the side of the supermarket) city is Lincoln in the united kingdom.
