Rename the Marauder Attackster Competition!!!
July 29, 2011 by beerogre
Here's a great offer from Ronnie and the guys at Mantic Games...
Mantic has successfully run it’s naming competition several times before – the vampiric Soul Reaver knights, Abyssal Dwarf Decimators and the Dwarf Ironwatch are all examples of where the community got it right and gave us a brilliant name. Well, we’ve taken our naming competition to the next level with Warpath.
We’ve got a fantastic prize up for grabs in the form of a squad of five resin Forge Father Heavy Troopers. These resin figures are masters of the original sculpts that are being turned into Plastic Resin and are absolutely gorgeous… though you will have to wait a little longer to see them!
One of the vehicles in the Marauder army list is the Attackster – a fast armoured Orx trike that can also be armed with a BFG, most notably a machine gun, an anti-tank gun or a fire thrower!
Concept art for this awesome vehicle is not yet out and we think Attackster is a cool name, but we think there’s a better name out there, and we think you can give it to us. So, what we want you to do is come up with a load of names and put them down in this thread before the 15th August. We’ll then pick the best, and one of you will bag yourself a set of the first Forge Father figures!

King of all things Mantic!
You heard the man... get renaming that vehicle and win yourselves some of those awesome Forge Father models!
Edit: I see a few entries below with Forge Father type names... remember this competition is to rename the ORX ATTACKSTER

Yeah i’ll post where i want thanks.
They asked for name submissions, they were mine. Albeit i didnt read the post and started naming the pictures.
I would go with some names of the northern mythology
-Jörmungandr or Midgarðsormr (the Midgard serpent )
-Ægir
-Logi
-Modsognir
aaaaaand:
-Forgehammer
-Tatzelwurm (its a german word but still sounds great ^^ )
Norse dwarves- sweeeeet
Surely a good name would be Loki
ps
did you see what i did there?
“did you see what i did there?” – actually no I dont what you are referring to , sorry 🙁
sneaked in another entry 😉
also loki looks very like logi even if they are different mythic figures
ah ok sorry ^^ as I said dont see the most obvious thing ^^
or do you refer to the eating contest loki and logi had ? …sorry probably I just dont see the most obvious thing right in front of me right now 🙁
DAMN totally confused Marauders with Forgefathers -.-
A trike with a BFG? sounds like a hells angel squatting down for a burn up.
ok my entry- Forge Father Moirae
the attackster would be a good name but maybe more a Maurader moniker
ps bonus to non googling peeps who know what Moirae means
ok i saw dwarves so as its for Marauders not Forge fathers!!!

I have an idea of its use in mind, and I think it reflects in my choices:
Gunrunna, Outlanda, Hyena, Jakal, Gekko, Strika, Fang, Hunta
Unsuprisingly, ust add ‘z’s for the plural 😀
Ripper – Fast, tough and packs a punch.
Hazard – Enemies know it’s effectiveness.
Divider – A key in battlefield tactics.
Baiter – Tempt your opponent.
I’ve got 2 suggestions, 1 for each load-out.

After a full hour trying to come up with some cool names it came to me that its the marauder fast thinggy not a forgefather fast thinggy.
The name I came up with is Dunerager.
The reason for the name is it sounds and spelled nothing like W40k space orks names, also for some reason when I think of marauders I think of the desert as well as very angry guys.
So Bobs your uncle, it should be called DUNERAGER!!!
Hmm, not entered a compo yet, but how about…

and another vehicle name consisting entirely of maniacal laughter, no-one likes to talk about that one.
Orx Gun Wagon of Doom!
Maybe being Orcs they’d just call it “dat-thing-wit-wheels-and-gonz-on-it”…
Or: The Lawnmower (or Dwarfmower in this case)
Perhaps: The Beardtrimmer?

Marauders- Attackster = Hardtail, Chopperbacks, roadrunnors, Fasthitters, warbobbers, PigIron
Marauders- Grunt Shifter = Carrius, Mobmover, moverus,
I have not read through all the suggestions so these might have come up before.
I also don’t have a very good feel for the general mantic orx name scheme so these might be off.
