Can anyone recommend a good thesaurus or resource for GW-style grimdark archaic words?

Because sometimes you just need a properly gothic synomym and MS Word ain't doing it.

The Phrontistery is a good resource; specifically their Compendium of Lost Words, which I think might be just the ticket for you, KK.

GW grim/dark gothic is basically just psuedo latin.

Here's a pretty good list of english words with both germanic and latinate synonyms, and their base latin forms.
