    Post Character Names

    I have seen it mentioned several times but there is no thread yet with Character names. I have the storm of Chaos book and will go threw and give some names and descriptions for Characters. Apart from the names nothing will be copied for legal stuff.... A lot depends on the time this campaign is based on in the warhammer world... Also very vague descriptions so if ya want do more research just google name... One could be a leader of each different empire/chaos faction

    Chaos-
    Kordel Shorgaar
    He is a standard bearer for the swords of chaos he is a tough bloke who killed a whole tribe etc.

    Archaon the everchosen-lord of the end times.
    The big bad boss dude for chaos really tough maybe the starting lord for chaos...

    Vardek Crom
    Another hardcore fighter dude really strong in close

    Be'lakor the dark master
    Demon leader

    Empire-

    Karl Franz

    High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer

    High Elf-

    Teclis

    Orkz

    Borgut Facebeater
    Tough orc leader bloke

    Grimgor

    Yea.. You got high elven leader tyrion.
    The "perfect chivalrus knight" Riding around on his big white steed wearing his superuber golden armor, and wielding a magic sword. His atributes are mostly his skill in close combat and all the stuff he is wearing. aperantly he is the heir of the great hero of elvenkind, or somthing so he got a huge ward save too..
    Bwian, if you need some info on High elves, send me a PM.

    Tyrion and Teclis are 2 brothers, they are descendants of Aenarion, the first of the phoenix kings.

    Malekith is the son of Aenarion but was ''corrupted'' and therefore was not fit to become a phoenix king.

    This resulted in civil war and then the elves split into the dark elves and high elves.

    Ive read kost of the book. And only teclis were in the storm of chaos. as he is the one of the two wich is fond of humans. However, Teclis is a magic type character, not fit for total war. Tyrion is a Knight/general character, He uses a horse and a sword, no shield and his attributes are mainly leadership and combat powerness. and so is perfect for a total war general.

    You could use Teclis as a skilled diplomat character

    Bugman needs to be included. I demand bugman.

    He should have his tankard as retinue that gives him atleast +1 hitpoints.(referring to one of his special rules in the army book)

    Since I'm going to assume the mod isn't going to just go and use all the special characters (I assume the likes of Teclis could be difficult following MoC...) GorkaMorka had a list of icons and symbols that form the ork lexicon. I know it's the futuristic version but names don't differ that much do they?

    Naming wise, no...we can't just use all the special characters. We need to be a bit more flexible in terms of how we do that. It will need to be inspired and follow the same sort of syntax as the canon Warhammer stuff, but our own invention. Otherwise, you end up running into so many problems!

    In that case I'll hunt out some of my sources and try and do a linguistical breakdown, not much but if we can get a mix of names sorted out it does increase the number of names... 490 Azhags running around will be a pain in the backside ;)

    How about the names of the mods and some of the "regular" posters in this forum put in too? I think that would be cool imo. Imagine watching your Tomb Kings army getting crushed by none-other than yourself! How crazy fun would that be
    "No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

    I don't know if it might help ... but I have an old book for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game lying around somewhere which contained several charts that could be used to randomly generate typical Empire, Elven, Dwarven and Halfling male and female names (surnames and lastnames).

    Such names might be useful for certain characters ingame ...?

    If there is any interest I'd either could create a couple of names with these chars or PM one of the makers of this mod here.

    (Btw ... this being my first post: When I saw the first screenshot I was speechless and had to pick up my jaw from the floor ...)
