Warhammer 40,000 name ideas without copying official names

Void raider hosts
Fast, elegant and dangerous names for corsairs, exile fleets, strike crews and starborne marauders.
Corrupted warbands

How the engine works

Choose the naming direction
Each archetype leans on a different set of roots, descriptors and group nouns while remaining original.
Choose what you are naming
A commander, squad, army, vehicle, ship and world each need a different naming structure.
Shape the sound
Control the tone, length and style so the result fits the character of your force.
Add only what helps
Keep results clean or add titles, affiliations, codes and one-line lore when a fuller identity is useful.
