If I were silly enough to spend a small fortune on 40K Chaos Space Marines, I might. But I'm not. 😄 I was fully intending to name a full Irish town figures after Clancy Brithers or Dubliners' songs.
I even named the brutal British commander in my "Rescue Roddy McCorley" game MacAlpine.
Many of my Comanches have names. Buffalo Hump in Particular. But all of them? Wes Studi could, or the late Graham Greene might, but I don't think they were wargamers. |

If I were silly enough to spend a small fortune on 40K Chaos Space Marines, I might. You can get them cheap secondhand.  |

I was burned once when "they" made my GW stuff obsolete.
I wouldn't put it past them to do that with Chaos Space Marines, and then bring back totally different unacceptable figures in the one following.
"These are not the Space Marines you are looking for."
"These are not the Space Marines we are looking for….." |

My SYW commanders and Boxer Rebellion commanders get names Don't have any Chaos Space Marines – I do name the squad commanders for the regular type Space Marines for games but the name of the squad leader is the name of the squad |

"You don't name your Chaos Marines" I could, but I don't feel like dragging out my Realm of Chaos books to look for the name generator… ;-) |

I thought GW would push on this type of thing a lot. Then when they die, you can replace them with a new named model. A bit like necromunda and such. They could also make even more money selling special bases with name plaques. Perhaps offer photo etched brass, or just plastic, sprues of hundreds of names to glue on. And a website or app to register your guys. They could have direct debit set up, so as soon as they die, your charged and sent a new pack. Possiblities are endless. Board members will be embarrassed to stand up from the boardroom table by the end of the presentation. |
