Just started painting up my first Vostroyan Commissar and, since I love fluff and giving names to my characters, what sort of names should a Vostroyan Commissar have?
And secondly, if I'm painting them the generic red Vostroyan scheme, what should be the name of the regiment, as in 115th Vostroyan Firstborn or whatever?

Any ideas wlecome!

check your history books for names, I'd go for russian napoleonic generals names that would fit the look nicely I think. vostroyans are very cool, I love bearskin caps!!!
