“Warhammer has become woke buhu!”

It always was.

There is no way youre telling me this Inquisitor isn't a transguy:

Who else would name themself “Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau”? Shit im surprised it isnt “Obiwan Sherlock Castiel”, but GW didnt know about that for a couple of decades later. 😅

There is no cis explanation for this character

Warhammer Lore Gameshow

Warhammer has many, many named characters, but not all have names that make sense

Answer: number 4, the Rattling Gun

While this is a unit in warhammer, it is present only in Warhammer Age of Simar, not Warhammer 40K. It is a gattling gun created by rats, and therefore is named the Rattling Gun, to the amusement of all

The rest are unfortunately real names of things in 40K

if you ever think to yourself "this character idea/name I came up with seems a bit too silly" just remember Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau

I’m bored, time to reinflict this on the Warhammer 40k tag.

Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau

I'm sorry but your remark on using pulp sci-fi naming schemes reminds me of the first named Inquisitor in Warhammer 40K, Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau, and that's distractingly funny.

To loop back, though: pilfering names from regions and languages that feel close to what you're creating is definitely great. I'm working on a story where the "Victorian" Hunters interact with Nobles culturally stuck in the "French" Middle Ages, so you'll have an Elisha and a Douglas rubbing elbows with a Philippot, an Yvonnet, and a Guion. Really fun to show the cultural clash in the names like that.

Do you prefer Historic or Fantasy Names?

I love a good Fantasy name like Aragorn or Daenerys, but I remember a name like Samwise or Jamie. Case in point: I just spelled Daenerys as Danaerys while trying to give this example. Twice.

Personally, I find it easier to relate to characters with relatable names. It makes it easier for me to think about them, to call them something in my head and begin to see them as people instead of concepts.

Moreover, you can use existing names to indicate certain worldbuilding aspects without drawing attention to them.

For instance: my From the Bay of Fangs anthology focuses on the Hunters of Fenblith, whose culture is heavily inspired by that of England. Thus, the Hunters usually have names such as Gilbert, Henry, Ruth, or Ophelia. However, sometimes there's a Mahala or a Nnamdi in there.

This indicates that most of the Hunters are culturally "English" (or trace their roots to some other "European" culture), but that some of them hail from much further afield. Thus, I address that the City of Fenblith is at least somewhat culturally diverse and allows people from all backgrounds to become Hunters without having to say it.

There's something beautiful in the creation of names, I'm not going to pretend there isn't. Nor am I going to deny that there are a lot of real names that I just don't know and they shouldn't be excluded from stories because of my limited knowledge or experience.

But making my own characters nestle inside my mind is essential for writing, and using names I can remember is vital to that, as even names I come up with myself often slip my mind.

So, which do you prefer? Do you use a baby naming website or fantasy name generator? Or, glory to you, do you painstakingly create your own names?

Would you fuck Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau?

No I would not

[screamingatthevoid]

If I thought there was any way in hell it would be accepted, my Black Library submission for the Detective/Police Procedural and Mystery themes would feature the triumphant return of Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau.

Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau is being dispatched immediately...

With a Medal of Honor.

I discover this generator and my first instinct is to address a pressing issue in my favorite miniature game.

While also shitposting.

Well Rogue Trader had been filled with wacky things like the Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Clousseau...

Unusual Weapons

I always enjoy these kind of things wherever I happen to see them from real life, the Duck Foot gun, to fiction, with someone in one book I read beating someone with a pail of water (but the guy was a master combatant).

But now I want a bunch or musical instrument weapons… I already know of the Sisters Of Battle and their (don’t know the word for the fancy piano’s in church) Missile Tanks, but really any interesting ones would be cool to see.
