Emperor's Children - Character Name Generator
/
The Emperor’s Children are one of my all-time favourite legions of the Chaos space marines because… I like pink. And purple. But mostly pink. They also represent the classic concept of the fall from grace at perhaps its most extreme. I mean, they start out as these flawless, beautiful, angelic beings and end up as a bunch of murderous, ghoul-faced perverts who torture their victims by forcing them to listen to heavy metal music at maximum volume.
I had a tricky time getting the pre-Heresy side of the character name generator right for these guys, for a range of reasons that I won’t bore you with (I think it turned out alright in the end, after tweaking to the nth degree), but the post-Heresy side was loads of fun. There are already some pretty evocative names in the lore - guys like ‘Excrucias’, ‘Rapturous Voice’ and ‘Gilliax Soundwarden’ - so I took those formats and cranked them up to 11, as any good Noise Marine is wont to do. Now you can create your own unwholesome adventures in interplanetary excess, with new characters like ‘Delirious Song’, ‘Druchaal Dreamlash’ and ‘Sulatachos the Excruciator’. Slaanesh be praised!
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. It’s also great for naming your Emperor’s Children space marines in the 30K setting of the Horus Heresy. 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 it as you see fit.
