Names.

Post by kimx1636 on Sat Feb 02, 2008 5:07 pm

Very sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, wasent completely sure.

What kind of names do you give your GK's?

On their right shoulder.

Personally i found a site which contained alot of names for the different angels, and each their governing principle, i name my GK's after them, if not precisely then somewhat along the lines of the names.
so like... someone who bears an incinerator would be named either something along the lines of "Adramelechk" or "Nathaniel" wich each have something to do with fire.

Rashnu meaning jugdement would be the name for my Psy termie.

And so on, and so on.

What about you people? how do you name them? do you follow some guidelines or do you just call them something cool?

Well seen as the name plaque is so small I only use short names, so no longer than 5 letters.
e.g. Munz, Deuz, Oxus...you get the drift.....

Can be quite hard to come up with names when you have 32 GKT's and 40 GK's.

I use latin names such as:
Dominatus

You get the drift, you can use a Latin translator and you can get lots of cool words, Such as Quality - Qualitas.

All my knights have names, it is more important when your elite troops need to be addressed.

But a few examples, Borley ,Weiz ,Velio, Janko ,Zizi (i know weird name) and Castus.

Just a few i remember, but they all have personal names.

I didn't mean Latin People names, I meant words such as, Domination, Qaulity, Death, Victory. All of them translate into really cool Latin words.
