Generic Warband #43876, Sub-Category #95 Needs more blood, Speciality #453 Smear blood on Face.

Need more info about the Warbands if I'm gonna make a serious suggestion.

Are the Warbands dedicated to a god? Are they a decendent of one of the traitor legions or are they a renegade warband? What sort of warfare do they specialize in, are they a hammer like the WE or a scalpel like the AL? Do they embrace chaos or reject it? What's their home planet? Are they a large Warband or a small one?

Lots of things that contribute to the name of a Warband.

First, They Reject Chaos And Most Mutations, They Are More Like The Iron Warriors In Idea As In The Large Use Of Vehicles, Other Then That The Majority Of The Warband Is Just Regular Chaos Marines And Renegades, And They Have No Home Panet At The Time, They Are A Farley Small Warband, Although I'm Not Too Sure On The Number Of A Small Warband.

So a renegade warband of no clear decent that favours the use of vehicles over infantry?

Something like:
The Bloodied Tracks
The Crushing Tracks
Rain of Steel
Company of Steel
The Fist of the Just
etc.

Something about the steel, tracks, wheels of their vehicles.

If it helps I'm working up a black legion warband myself. and have tenativly settled on the name "Black Wolves" the wovles bit being a bit of a homage to the name Luna Wolves.

I've found inspiration from albums or song titles when coming up with names (for ships mostly).

Also, since GW loves their puns and word plays, try looking up articles based on your warband theme.

For example, my Loyalist Marines are trophy keeping head Hunters. So I spend quite a few hours googling various headhunting tribes.

Looking up various infectious diseases for Nurgle Inspiration was... A bit taxing.

Yeah, was thinking a 'steel' related moniker as well.

If Iron Warriors esque

The Steel/Ceramite Faith

Brethren of Steel

Just a few off the top of my head.

Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.
