Gorgosaurusrex Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 After finishing a few other projects, I have FINALLY gotten around to assembling, priming, and basecoating my Baneblade. I am loving the model so far, and am really enjoying the painting aspect. There is one problem that I have encountered, however: I do not know what name to bestow upon this mighty machine of war. It will fight alongside my Valhallan Imperial Guard and my Space Wolves. I want to have the name embellished on the hull, which is the only reason why I am bothering to create a topic about it. Any ideas would be appreciated! I would post pics, but it is only basecoated with Shadow Grey at this point and is relatively unimpressive.

Guest Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 Use it in-game, then name it after an impressive deed. Mine is the "Plow of Daemons" after it tankshocked to death a full health GUO.... -Pax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 The Righteous Indignation Crucible of Foes Defenestration Station (my personal favorite) Oblitorax the Ancient Fury of the Firstborn The Mailed Fist Krazy Ivan (seems like something Vostroyons would find amusing) The Emperor's Holy Dudenal Father Winter (fits Vostroyans and Space Wolves) Mobile Ordinance Transport And Force Under Constant Cannonade Attack (horrible acronym!) Uncle Boris The Hated One Bringer of Despair Tears of the Widows Terra's Admonishment ....to be honest, Pax's idea is pretty dang good though;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting with Valhallan and wolves....so go with a cold theme. Chill wind Righteous Blizzard Cold Heart Frigidaire ( , kidding) Frigid Frost Giant something cold, chilly, unforgiving, dreadful....Dreadful certainty.

Aventine Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 When I have named Imperial tanks I have often gone with real life ship names, often with some significance. Given the Space Wolves and Vahallans I would pick either a Scandinavian or a Russian ship... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgosaurusrex Posted March 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I knew asking here was a good idea :P Thanks for all of the ideas! I do like Steve, but I think I will go with something norse in origin. It will be the last thing I put on the vehicle, so I've got some time to decide. Project update: I have completed the two layers of hull drybrushing and the first layer of metal. I really wish I could find the motivation to paint each individual rivet.

Stoobert Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 My earlier post was very silly. Probably if you're being serious you should look up a Norse name you like and goin with that. However I REALY DO think that this would be an awesome sentence to paint on the front of a Baneblade in smallish, but readable letters. If you can read this, you've made a serious mistake.

AgentP Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Gjallarhorn. The great deafening horn of the gods that heralded the start of Ragnarok. In short, the last great boom heard before the end of the world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgosaurusrex Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I really like Gjallarhorn. A lot. That may be painted on the hull in the coming days. I will play a few games with it before deciding, though. If he destroys a few Knight Titans than "Titan's Bane" may be more fitting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Pulling out my copy of the Poetic Edda and flipping through, a few that catch my eye: Thund (Thunderer) Rathgrith (Plan-Destroyer) Sigfather/Sigvater (Father of Victory) Brimir (Odin's blade, the greatest of swords) Hnikar/Hnikuth (The Overthrower) Omi (The Shouter) Skilfing (The Shaker) Hrimgrimnir (The Frost-Shrouded) Hildolf (Slaughtering Wolf) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Trainer Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 My friend uses "Gotterdammerung" for character naming. It means Twilight of the Gods, it's a German translation of the Norse "Ragnarok". Either of those would be a good one for Valhalla. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgosaurusrex Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 I had considered Ragnarok, but I thought it was too cliche. I've been listening to nothing but Amon Amarth and Sabaton while painting it, maybe I can find some inspiration in their lyrics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
