Because the old thread is ancient and I do not feel like resurrecting it.

It's the same deal as last time. You need a name for a character? I will dig deep into the horrific depths that is my brain and dig out something hopefully not very cringeworthy for you to consider.

Begin!

A guardsman who steadily goes insane from combat stress and the effects of chaotic influence.

Got any good Tau names?

What's the Guardsman's gender and homeworld?

Mr Nobody wrote:Got any good Tau names?

It depends on a lot of stuff. Again, gender, but also rank, homeworld, caste...

One example that leaps to mind is Shas'el Bor'kan A'dra Mont'yr. (A Shas'el from the Bor'kan Sept, bloodied in battle)

Nice, I'll have to remember that last bit.

A demonically possessed Commissar from an anti-Imperium human hive world. He only has a semblance of human consciousness, and is capable of killing space marines.
He is know for materializing behind those of his regiment who insult him, and more haunts the regiment than leads it.

A Space Marine from the Dark Angels legion that originally comes from the home scope of Pacifius Segmentum. He is a born scout and infiltrator, and is one of the brightest scouts.
And then he was 'killed', only to be brought to the Deathwatch in order to kill an Ork leader.
His comrades left him for dead and when the Ork adopted ship named 'Killa' exploded in orbit, he finds himself in the middle of a hive city, being nursed by a rogue mercenary.
Now he fights beside his mercenary saviour/friend as a rogue hunter, although he hasn't said a word since they met. He only goes by Black Fox now, and is always brooding and fighting.

Dave.

Dave is a good name. His colleagues used to refer to him as 'Deathwatch Dave'. Or 'Dee Dee' for short.

That just made my day :')

I need 4 Ork names for a campaign. Preferably for Boyz or Nobz. Any ideas?

Wow. I just returned here and expected the thread to be dead. You guys surprise me.

Arkus.

Simple, no-nonsense, but clearly nothing a normal human would have. It sounds almost Space Marine in nature, but the -kus suffix is not only powerful, it is also ominous. Sounds like something a Daemon would be named.

Arkus hides in every shadow, behind every obstacle. He is wherever you turn your back, just beyond the edge of your eyes' limits. Arkus was here before you were born. Arkus will be here after you have died. Arkus has neither beginning nor end. He will never see the grave, but he will help you to yours.

Somariel. Classic Christianity-Judaism type angel name, which the Dark Angels seem fond of.

Gaznag da Toofrippa is a Nob. Nasty fella. The other Nob is called Ugnor.

The Boyz are called Magrub and Borka.

Whaaaat? It was a totally seriously, legitimate suggestion

I need a Name for A DKoK Commissar tank commander.

Gender: Male.
Assigned to the DKoK for 5 years.
Believe he has the respect of Krieg tankers, or what he considers respect.
He has a small problem complimenting Enemy tactics.

He is familiar with the Vanquisher, Exterminator and Leman Russ Main battle tank.

Is 6'4" and likes to paartaayy!!

6'7" 230 pounds
sanctioned psyker, advisor of a Company Command Council
short military cut blonde hair
blue eyes
37 years old
Fair skin
After sanctioning his Company is deployed to pacify his planet, which is in riot.
dead family, living and loving wife that is killed once he gets there, like his family, through negligence of lords (Famine, war, take your pick of big problems that kill lots of people, point is, Lords ain't doing nothing about it and they probably could and it is why the people are rioting)
The injustice pushes him over the edge and he kills the governing lords of his planet in ironic ways pertaining to their sins (Gluttony, Lust, whatever)
Goes AWOL and takes arms against the Imperium with survivors of the riots. Dedicates himself and his followers to Tzeentch.

Was thinking Aldrich, its a old english name that means old and wise ruler.

I need a good name for the officer on command of my Scottish Assault Pioneer company, They are mostly a bunch of feral worlders that form an Auxilia unit for the Praetorian guard with a serious love of charging the enemies defences and blowing gak up with demo charges. The commander of the company leads from the front and loves to sit down with his men and drink them under the table.
Also could use a good name for his first sarge, a no nonsense guy seconded from the Praetorian guard in an attempt to make the men more professional. He is the ONLY man from Praetoria in the whole force as well.

I could do with a name for a Baneblade with either a Volcano Cannon or the Stormsword Siege Cannon

It's reputed for hunting down Ultramarines, and is used by a non-IOM human force that often gets mistaken as Imperial, due to lack of daemonic influence.

The tank is of unknown origin, but presumed to belong to these humans.

293rd Landsharks Regiment.
