Cyclopes - Terminators
Pele's Demand - Land Raider

Inquisition
Inquisitor Grigor Psychoticus - Dual-Daemonblade wielding radical inquisitor

Dark Eldar
Frykyrion - Fallen Wraithlord (counts-as Talos)
Fraccomedes - Fallen Wraithlord (counts-as Cronos)
Vaejin the Tailor - Scarlet Epicurean Haemonculus
Oozog the Butcher - Dark Artisan Haemonculus
Dzeindel the Tailor - Flesh Corps Haemonculus (all three converted from Cryx Cephalyx Overlords)

One of my Dakkajets is called "Da Danga Zone" and Is piloted by none other than Kenny Waaagins.
I am in the process (aka backlog behind 10 other projects) of painting the Dakkajet "DakkaProof" piloted by Air Marshal Fiddy Teef.
The Battlewagon that is most often used for my Flash Gitz is called the "Da Git Wagonz" (the other boyz are just jealous of the flash paint job and storm of dakka being unleashed from inside)
My 2 Warbosses (they each control the WAAAGH, they each think they are the boss, the other is oblivious) are named Warboss Vankraken (loots EVERYTHING including tactics and plans) and Warboss Scuzzer (has the finkin cap, the big horns give better finkin reception I guess).
My Tankbusta Nob is named Fishbonez after the rather shark like "rokkit launcha" he has (its really a bomb but don't tell him that).

My Darkstrider "count as" is called Sub Commander Shadowstep
My Fireblade is called Sub Commander Sunspear

Another of my backlog projects is to modify and paint my Dreadknights as a homage to the 3 brothers of House Baratheon in ASOIAF. Plan on having "Stannis" with darker looking iron armor with a flaming sword, "Robert" with his antlers (trophies from a nurgle daemon) and a hammer, and "Renly" with his Gold/Copper armor. Possibly having some details painted in the colors of each one's banner colors.

I am actually in the process of naming and giving backgrounds to every single Shas'ui and above I have in my collection. A few examples:

Shas'O Caros (Commander Starfall), Commander of the Mobile Assault Cadre - Crisis Suit Commander
Aun-Do, Ethereal Adviser to the Cadre - Ethereal
Shas'nel Kyrnas, O'Caros' right hand man - Cadre Fireblade
Riptide Shas'vres Grasirr, Iroh, and Kes'la - XV104 Riptide (IA), XV107 R'varna Riptide, and XV104 Riptide (HBC) respectively
Stubby, the Little Drone that Could - Marker (occasionally Gun) Drone (He's earned his name after his first game where he broke his antenna in transit, then proceeded to tie up an Attack Bike in CC for 3 turns before killing it in CC. He has since gone on to kill a total of 7 Space Marines, plus a Space Marine Sergeant, in Close Combat. Yes I roll for him seperately.)

Stubby's my favorite.

A few of mine:

Blood Angels: Captain Aedus Sendini, Keeper of the Arsenal, Commander of the Blood Angels 5th Battle Company; "Daemonbanes"

Deathwatch: Watch Captain, Brother Thoros of the Blood Angels Chapter
Deathwatch: Epistolary Brother Levi, Blackshield, Warden of the Watch

Inquisitor: Ordo Xenos =][= Atticus Garrow

Imperial Guard: Lord Marshal Graf Harazahn (Taken from GW), commander of the 5th Vostroyan Firstborn Combat Division, comprised of the 66th Armored Infantry Battalion, the 714th Tank Battalion, and 493rd Armored Field Artillery Battalion

Imperial Guard Tanks:
LR Command Vanquisher: Havoc
LR Exterminator: Rage
LR Executioner: Dirge
LR Battletank: Duke
Chimera: Nemesis
Chimera: Wrath
Griffon Mortar: Iron
Griffon Mortar: Dauntless

More tanks are in-progress. Names to be determined.

That's all of mine. Take it easy for now everyone.

I lol'ed.

Well I've got
Chaos Lord Nemeroth Plague bringer (counts as Typhus and uses his rules. He represents my nurgle Iron hands chapter/Legion master)
Chaos Sorceror Nikol the Lord of Entropy chief sorceror of the Blight Angels (chaos sorceror Level 3 Mark of nurgle sigil of corruption VoTLW)
Warp smith Varguf the Insane Master of the Forge of the Blight Angels not got his build settled on yet
Chaos Lord Captain Tynus Lord of the 2nd company of Blight Angels (chaos Lord woth MoN and The Burning Brand of Skalathrax probably should give him VoTLW too)
Plague Champion Nazmund he's just a plague marine champion with combi plasma
Plague Champion Irkus he just gets given a combi melta
Plague Champion Vikus he gets given nothing. He normally just takes challenges for Tynus

The Queen: 3rd Edition Hive Tyrant. 1st model I ever owned
The Twins: Redhead and Blu. Flying Hive Tyrants only different because of a Stripe on their heads.

Carnifex Barbie: every friggin thing but the tail is magnetized.
Bug Eyes: Enhansed Senses Carnifex. Designated Dakkafex.
Beetle: an old 3rd Edition Carnifex with Claws, Bioplasma and a broken mandible

Midget: Rogue Trader Hunter Killer that goes in with the Termagants. Tiny little guy.
The Dwarves: 2nd Edition Termagants, still smaller than modern Termagants but bigger than the Rogue Trader era model

Floating Big Stupidhead: Zoanthropes's nickname when he fails to get off a single power...

Tank Commander - Darjeeling
Leman Russ Command Battle Tank - Tea Club

Leman Russ Battle Tank - Bessie

Leman Russ Eradicator - Clanker

Lord Commissar - Fraulien Grauler

Captain - Captain Mainwering

Medic - Godfrey

Master of the Fleet - Sargent Wilson

Vet #1 - Lance Corporal Jones

Vet #2 - Private Frazer

Vet #3 - Private Pike ('You stupid boy')

My Leman Russes were named "Hammer" and "Slammer".

The Basilisk was called "Drop short" (because it ALWAYS lobbed short of the target).

My Valkyrie is "Voodoo Chile" (NOT "chilli". Chile, like style, like tile. Like the Hendrix song).

Didn't name any others.

I have two Termagants names John and Fred. No joke. They were the two I used for testing possible paint schemes for my Hive Fleet, so have more personality than the hoard of identical models I painted after.

My Orks:
-Warlord Konchur mag Nessa
-and his favourite Gretchin assistent Dirdra.
-His advisor, the old big mek Cuthbad.
-And his banner carrier, the Ork nob Noize.

293rd Landsharks:

-"The Pidgeon" - Vendetta
-"Caustic", "Big Boi", "Tommy", "The Penetrator", "Judge" - Leman Russ Tanks

Black Templars:

-Emperor's Champion: Galahad Witchslayer

The last one was the only one named for battlefield performance. He repeatedly annihilated Librarian Conclaves. Mostly solo.

Sir Kegnaught The Drunkard - My first Ironclad Dreadnought with a seismic hammer, power fist, ironclad assault launchers and two hunter-killer missiles. He is a drunkard because he can't hit for gak but in close combat he barely misses or fails a wound. Thinking of homebrewing him to have slow and purposeful.

Lord Gasmask McMindF**k - Krieger Commisar who I've yet to use because no codex BUT I like his name.

Aunt Bessie - A Land Raider Redeemer that flattens troops, characters and even OTHER VEHICLES like dough while taking no damage at all.

SkyShark Gunship - StormRaven Gunship currently attached to my Third Company. Has ye olde WWII shark paintjob toward the front with the door being the teeth.

Sergeant Brighteyes - Someone (me) put too much white scar in his eyes while painting, so his eyes are less "Green with a lighter centre" and more "White with a green tinge".


And finally...

Chapter Master Ripper (Praetors of Orpheus Smashfucker) - Bike heavy list? This bloke does it well.

I named all of my Ultramarines in my entire company.
Beat that.

Death Guard
Mortarion - Primarch
Typhon - 1st Lieutenant

(Now for the actual answer!)

Connor " 'Nid smasher" Mannan - 7th Grand Company Lieutenant (Praetor): "single handedly" killed a 'Nid Bio-titan, Heads my Terminator "regiment"
Sgt. Maxim Roan - 7th Grand Company Tactical Sgt. : Knocked out Guilliman in close combat
Siege squad 1: 7th Grand Company; MK. II Breacher Squad with 3 knight kills under their belt (Made from converted Iron Hands Immortals )

Dammit, my men earn their names!
