So, what would be the obvious choice for my second ever Warhammer 40,000 character name generator? One of the major factions, right? Wrong! How about everyone’s favourite sub-faction, the Catachan Jungle Fighters, whose kits largely date back to the very invention of the plastic from which they’re formed? Yep, that makes sense. Give the people what they want, that’s my motto.

In all seriousness, there’s something strangely appealing to me in the fact that the Catachans are possibly the least grimdark of all the Astra Militarum forces (or Imperial Guard, if you’re oldschool). Almost uniquely in Warhammer 40K they have nothing gothic about them whatsoever. You’ve got to love an army whose entire lore is extrapolated from Rambo: First Blood.

With all that in mind, this character name generator is something of an homage to the action heroes of the 1980s, and the pop culture characters they’ve inspired - you may see a few name components that you recognise. It also has a touch more humour than you’re likely to see in my other Warhammer 40K name generators. After all, when your most recognisable character is call ‘Sly Marbo’, you know that you’re not meant to take these guys too seriously.

This name generator is perfect for narrative play in the 41st millennium, whether you're naming your heroes in Warhammer 40,000 or each and every squad member in Kill Team. I hope you like it!

If you use the generator and enjoy it, I’d love it if you’d leave a comment below - let me know what names you’ve come up with! And as always, feel free to share and copy it as you see fit.
