I am busy writing a space hulk campaign and I am in need for terminator names.

I need names for 21 blood angels, a space wolf, a salamander and 3 other marines of various chapters.

I am useless with names and any help would be appreciated.

Check out the fan fiction forum on Black Library. Lots a inspiration and budding writers who have already mentioned many names.

Make sure to have a Rainbow Warrior in there and make sure he is ultra awesome.

W/D 356 that I just received has a bunch of SM names, mostly Blood Angels.  Can you get a copy of it ?

Huh? I didn't know Marines have played ball for the University of Hawai'i.  :laugh:

There was a computer game Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels in mid 90s, it was really great and had a bunch of terminators who were, on the off-chance, all Blood Angels. The names were kinda more Dark Angel-y to me, but it was all more convoluted back in the 90s. From memory:

Adonai
Akkad
Amael
Antonius
Aradiel
Azrael
Bethor
Caliban
Claudius
Ezekiel
Gabriel
Gideon
Octavius
Lionus
Lucius
Malloc
Marcus
Matthias
Nathaniel
Pluvius
Sammael
Sergio
Uriel
Vicconius

Yeah. Most of those seem biblical in origin. More Dark Angel, I think.

The best way is pick a theme and go with that - demon names, angel names, egyptian gods, krispy kreme varieties, etc

Thanks for the help.

I use these names and references as a strating point.

MNB - I will be posting the campaign here.  Though it will not have been pay tested at that point.

to play it you need:
Space Hulk
2 Terminator box sets
1 assault terminator box set
1 =][= lord Rex (form forge world)
4 storm troopers, one with a grenade launcher.

Quick question.

Who would suffer most in zero gravity?  Stealers or terminators?

Terminators will have mag clamps in their boots.

Stealers move in 3D to begin with, so a lack of gravity shouldn't hinder them.

I need to know for one mission when the termies need to switch on/off the gravity in a section of the hulk.

I'm thinking of making them switch it on.

Without gravity flamers will work differently. You could make an argument for Storm Bolters having longer range since gravity won't effect the rounds. On the other hand, grav boots might slow down Termies.

I'm very tempted to have a rainbow warrior in the deathwatch now.  That fan fic is very cool.
