[Captain Stillios]

Hello Fellow Heretics!

I recently started naming my figures and I was wondering if anyone else does?

My Tactical Squad:
Sergeant: Sarge the Wapr Spider slayer (Killed an entire squad of warp spiders including an exarch with power weapons, by himself)

Meltagunner: Tom (A guy from my store, works as a body guard)

Hvy Bolter: Chuckles the destroyer of worlds! (This guy is amazing, by himself he has killed over 3000 points of models including Calgar, Skarbrand and Celestine!)

Only fully painted Marine: Farmer Bob (A friend who lives next to a barn)

Bolter Marine 1: Rhys (Fellow Blood Angels player)

Bolter Marine 2: Oliver (Friend)

Bolter Marine 3: Jimmy (Staff member, hasnt survived a game yet)

Bolter Marine 4: John (Staff member)

Bolter Marine 5: Daniel (Friend..sort of)

Bolter Marine 6: Craig (Friend)

Librarian: Swifty (Mr Swift, everyone calls him swifty and I don't even know his first name)

Chaplain/Reclusiarch: Mal (Store Manager)

[Doelago]

I do, as I have a small number of Grey Knights, it is quite simple to keep track, and it adds a narative element!

 

[Crimson Shadow]

I'm naming all my dreadnaughts after G.I. Joe Characters.

Roadblock
Duke
Snake Eyes
etc.

 

[Sangus Bane]

I name them...

My Ironclad dread is called: Yserlaeg. Ijserlaag is Dutch for Ironclad

 

[yanlou]

First Acolyte Azgori

[chromedog]

Only my sgts get names and other characters.

The grunts are known purely as "brother redshirt".

My Sgts are named after specific named clones from The Clone Wars series (so you have Rex, Cody, etc).
One of my tech marines is named "Brother Vidicon of Cathode" (it's an old SF in-joke name. Ref: St Vidicon of Cathode).

One of my friends who plays SoB has a similar theme to my Techpriests. His sisters are from the Anodean sisterhood.

 

[HOBO]

Naming specific Squads/Characters/Vet Sgts etc adds depth and character to an Army, so it's a great way to personalise a list.

My GK's, being the elite of the elite that they are, are all named...it was damn hard coming up with 90 suitable names though:biggrin:

 

[Azezel]

I name my Characters and my Exorcists.

Canonness Sarasvati
Palatine Desdemona

Veteran sisters Superior Regina, Aliz, Tuesday, Nephthys, Justine, Nike, Pandora & Juliette.

Exorcists Damnatus tuum & Adsume Planctum.

 

[Varakir]

I name my sergeants, characters and random models.

I use a combination of names from the salamander fluff (N'Keln, Argos) and the rest are named after hip hop artists i like (A'kil, Ta'lib, C'hali, Zaakir)

My dreads are called Malleus and Incus (hammer and anvil)

 

[Serpion5]

I name my tyranids based on combinations of mythical and other creature names.

Serpion (serpent scorpion): Hive Tyrant (yes that`s me :grin: )
Hydrake (hydra drake): Warrior Prime
Draoc, pronounce DRAY-ok (dragon roc): Harpy

and so on.

My necrons are named for negative emotions.

Misery: Necron Lord
Despair: Another Lord
Hatred: Flayed One
Spite: Wraith

and so on. Models only earn a name after accomplishing something awesome. Pretty easy for the leaders, but that flayed one had to work hard. (brought down a dreadnought piece by piece over four turns with disruption fields.)

 

[Khazaddum]

I only have one model named - Tank. Just a regular chaos marine who, in a 2 v 1 game of killteam (narrative campaign), survived the combined firewpower of both a dark angels and tau killteams for 4 turns and won the game for me.

 

[MidnightSun]

My Captains and a few Sarges have names, I always try to make them do great deeds rather than other squad members. I even roll different colour dice for CC and shooting!

Midnight

 

[World Eater XII]

All i need to know is KHARRNNNNNN!

 

[nightfish]

Necromunda was a good game for naming characters, gets a bit much at 1000pts + level though!

 

[jaws900]

I have names for my Tyranids.

Dave 1, Dave 2, Dave 3, Dave 4.........

The only one who even comes close is my Chaos Sorcerer since he has killed both Calgar and Pedro while taking no hits in return. He's called Camper. Becuase he killeds you as you spawn *boooooo! Bad joke*

 

[GrimzagGorwazza]

My Chaos ary has names for everry squad, usually the name of the asp champion which leads them
Squad Teritus
Squad Hesnak
Squad Criol etc.
They are basically random jumbles of Syllables i bounced around untill something good came out.

Each of my lords and their bodyguards are named and occasionally a single marine will gain the honour. I have a flamer marine in a 5 man csm unit which managed to weather firing from 2 full units of necron warriors (i had no other models with me otherwise he probabley would have been toting plasma) the following turn he passed his all on your own check leapt his barricade and wounded Nightbringer with his flamer, then he suceeded in charging the C'tan and holding it in combat for 2 turns before getting cut down. Flame trooper Caranshi is now a much loved member of Squad Corvic.

Also each of my Traitor guard tanks are named after movies.
Lethal weapon, Gladiator, Unbreakable, Fist of fury etc.

 

[shaantitus]

I haven't really named much apart from a few of my hq units. Ig HQ (Colonel) Shaantitus and abbadon replacement Overlord Caleb(After the main character in the PC Game 'Blood') and Lo Wang my marbo counts as. However in yesterdays game my two leman russes spent the game delivering pieplates so maybe they will be the Pie Vans from now on. And the Master of the ordinance is the 'Proprieter of the Pie Shop'
