What is the right way to pronounce Macragge. I pronounce it Ma-c-Rage. In the like english sense, what is the logical way to pronounce it

**TheCustomLime**

Muh-crag is how I pronounce it.

**dementedwombat**

It looks potentially kind of Scottish or Irish (sorry, I don't want to offend anyone by implying those two things are the same, but I'm ignorant in the details unfortunately).

With that in mind I'd probably pronounce it "Mac-Crae-gie"

**Sturmtruppen**

I hate to subject you to it, but at 0:35 is how it's pronounced in Ultramarines.

**beigeknight**

I've always pronounced it "Mac-ka-rage". That's probably not right, but it "rage" in there which sounds cool to me.

**dementedwombat**

Dang, that trailer looks pretty legit. I'm not going to say it looks like the next Star Wars or anything, but I'd certainly watch it to kill a couple hours.

First up, don't. You'll be happier for it. Secondly it *is* legit. Terrible and legit.

You'll kill an hour. But it it wasn't as bad as the guy above said. Kinda corny but seriously. We're adults that play with expensive toys.

**Wakshaani**

That's the way we pronounce it, by the by.

"muh CRAG"

**troa**

Eh, from what I saw it didn't look good. I always pronounced it similar to mirage, makes sense though.

This.

I'm fairly sure GW doesn't name its places to be pronounced the 'murican way.

**calamarialldayerrday**

I've always pronounced it "Makkraj."

**Mr. Burning**

'Smurftown' Is how I usually say it

Yeah...the hate is IMO overblown. Its mediocre, with outdated animations and silly dialogues, but... Even me, who doesnt like SMurfs (sorry guys, just joking) much it was fun. Sometimes in silly way, but if you are not person falling into nerdrage "THIS IS NOT HOW YOU RELOAD A BOLTER!" its...passable

And its cheese is funny in its own way

**ChazSexington**

Mac-radj

But I've got a weird Scots-Norwegian accent going on.

**Nevelon**

Mah crag (like a sharp jut of rock that belongs to me)

The movie was fine, just don’t take it too seriously, and with a couple of beers. I watched it in the same mode I do cheazy sci-fi monster movies, and was not disappointed. YMMV.

"Mah-Crag". It's pronounced "Mah-Crag".

**Hive Fleet Cerberus**

I've always said it "Mc-Rage" for some reason, despite it being illogical

**purplefood**

Mac-rag.
I assumed it was stolen from a scottish name...
Mac-rage could also work but frankly it sounds like something a 12 year old would come up with...
That said we're talking about the same people who named a forgeworld Metallica, not forgetting Inquisitor Obi-wan Clouseau

A forgeworld named metallica? That opens up an infinite amount of possibilities (Also, that shall be my homeworld in DH)

**Darth Bob**

Muh-krag is how I've always pronounced it. Sounding like you put the two English words "muck" and "rag" together.

**vodo40k**

"Mah-crag", when I first started I pronounced it "Mac-ah-rajj" or "Mac-ah-rage".

**Wilytank**

I don't care what you all say, I will not stop pronouncing it as Mac Rage.

Spoiler:

**PaperworkNinja**

Yes, it's spelled Macragge, but it's pronounced "Throatwarbler-Mangrove."

**Grey Templar**

I always pronounce it in a Scottish accent, Its more humorous to imagine Smurfs being Scots.

"We marrrch furr McCragge brothers"

**Psienesis**

That's far too legible to be a Scottish accent.
