I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman." - Twin Peaks

You say that but the BiGR Bolter is pretty funny.
It would literally just be an oversized bolter

I also can't help but read these names with our biazarre company culture of seeming to purposely mispronounce "backronyms" for silly science products and proteins that they clearly let the undergrads vote on.
ByJER bolter it is! Let our Hold never forgive those who labour under the Votann 'Jiff Motionpic'.

Dark age of technology humans thought it was a funny joke to let the public vote on the name for their new ship design. More than ten thousand years later, the Boaty McBoatface class brings death to the enemies of the Imperium.

Ah yes, the exploits of the venerable Titan, The BigChungusXXYeet420 will live on in Imperial history.

Reminds me of a conversation I had over 20 years ago when The Matrix first came to theaters. Everyone in that movie uses their in-Matrix screen name as their name in the real world. You gotta know at some point someone regretted using the handle "PoppaHugeMeatXXX".

I hope someone already did this with one of their Knights. If not.....I might need to

You laugh, but look at some of the forced acronyms being used in military systems today. Many are every bit as bad.
I really like the teal/grey schemes. Nice and restful Also allows for easy weathering with dark browns and oranges, as opposed to the deeper red schemes where you'd need to be using dark grey or something and its a bit less poppy to me.
Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!
So we've got Kronus the Youngest (so much for Votann 'dying off', I guess; also lets have the youngest thing named after Kronus, rather than the progenitor. Its irony!), the USSR, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, the return of the Y's, and I guess the Greater Generic Brand (I assume this is one the special character is attached to?).
Also 'there are many more, but we aren't going to talk about custom franchises' (haven't looked at the leaks, do these exist?)

they do exist, but not good as the five main ones. I am shure someone will figure out a combo that is better than the five.

That they aren't literally the same is besides the point.
I'm not making a semantic argument (let alone one about 'literally'). The colors simply don't look the same and have different tones.
If there is a color blindness issue, then that's fine, but the idea of getting those two color schemes confused is... odd. Especially with the existing lack of variety to GW color schemes.
And if I'm saying you're nitpicking squats too much....
