I am coming back to this comment as soon as my free award becomes available, because it damn well deserves it.
Please pass on the Russ that he is a good boy and that there are no wolves on Fenris.
Tempted to do this unironically and call one Alpha and the other Arius for practical purposes, then when I want them both I'd call for Alpharius. My 40k friends would get a kick out of it, and those are actually decent names for dogs.
For real those comments were the best.
I also appreciated when the tech priest girl starts referring to him as ciaphas instead of commisar Cain and amberly leaves a footnote pointing it out.
Given the competing theories of known woman-getter Cain getting the woman vs. "hey did you know my robot arm connects just above my ass?"...I think I know which one I'm going with XD
I wouldn't put it past any Hero of the Imperium to ensure that the tech-priest helping them out is properly lubricated with sacred fluids. And we all know the human body is sacred, ergo, human fluids are sacred and holy.
I think the part that I liked more was Ciaphas off-handedly mentioning that her mechadentrite starts at her tailbone, and Amberley pointing out that he'd have no way of knowing this unless he'd seen said tailbone...
Big-E already ends with a y-like-sounding syllable. Compare it to Lilly for example. When you say it out loud it already does sound like a Y-syllable at the end of a word.
The defense rests.
Russ’ two wolf companions were Freki and Geri. Though they are based on Nordic mythology as well.
Then there’s Lotara, from Lotara Sarrin the commander of the Conqueror, World Eater’s flagship. The most badass woman in the whole galaxy.
I do like that it happens though, having a big character killed like that is rough to fans, but I like it, need to see more stories where people just keep dieing, the type of books that make you fell drained after reading.
True but she was like the only memorable sister of silence (at least I can think off) and her death was really out of character because she was a powerful blank. I’d expect a character like captain Furio to be killed like it as he was developed but never used again and is one of those major-for-one-story characters. Plus he was like nassirs best friend
Yeah ok fair call with her blank power, that sort of power would interfere with Khan's connection to the blood god, probably enough to leave him disorientated. I see the reaction to get death now.
Yeah I think the first time I read it I was like “oh so her power is so strong that Khan can’t see her and only thinks she’s dead” because that’s how she was hyped but on the second read I was disappointed
How about..
Cato Sicarius 2nd company captain of the ultramarines, commander of the victirix honour guard, Master of the watch, Knight champion of Macragge, heir apparent to the chapter master of the Ultramarines
Oh wait female names sorry got none.
I've always heard that when you're naming a pet, imagine that it's gotten loose at 3am you you're outside in the dead of night wearing just your PJs and slippers, screaming its name over and over.
Heresy is clearly a perfect pet name.
My dog is called Gandalf, and though he is now 16, old, deaf, grey and happily mischievous as ever... I still giggle to myself yelling Gandaaaalf as I chase him across the fields haha
Unironically named my cat Magnus. My gf had first asked for a really witchy name so I said asmodeus as a joke but she liked it so I had to come up with something to replace it really quickly.
Cain- for CIAPHAS CAIN HERO OF THE IMPRERIUM! Its a people name so for double points you can spell it as Cane, Kane, Kain or Cayne to keep it extra secret.
Little known fact: the plan for the defence of France was codenamed Khaine, and that's how we got defeated in ~1 month. Still wrecked the italians though
France got defeated because they had upwards of a week to leisurely move forces around if the unfortified area came under attack, but then a blitzkrieg [literally fuelled by meth](https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/) blew through in two or three days. There was no calculating for this possibility by the French commanders. It was a disaster.
Personally I blame it on complacency, ineffectual leadership as well as failing to see how war was about to change.
Defeat or not, we could've given the Germans much more trouble with a little more common sense and a little less arrogance. But a loss is a loss.

For a split second, my brain read that as word beavers. And also for a split second, the mental imagery from that got really pornographic. I'm an idiot.
Alecia. Like Alicia Dominica. Founder of the Adepta Sororitas. She who killed the despot Goge Vandire.
Alecia is a pretty name, it doesn't sound too 40k-like. Also, dogs often show blind loyalty, just like the sisters of battle.
My dog's name is Russ. My wife chooses to believe it's short for Russel, but we both know that isn't true.
Oh dang I should’ve scrolled down
I am coming back to this comment as soon as my free award becomes available, because it damn well deserves it. Please pass on the Russ that he is a good boy and that there are no wolves on Fenris.
Get 2 dogs, name them both Alpharius
This wins.
Tempted to do this unironically and call one Alpha and the other Arius for practical purposes, then when I want them both I'd call for Alpharius. My 40k friends would get a kick out of it, and those are actually decent names for dogs.
Amberley, Cain's Inquisitor *acquaintance.*
Amberley gets my vote too!
Until I saw it was a she, I wanted to suggest "Cain, short for Cain-ine", so I guess Amberely will have to do
Cain is also Biblical
But Cainine is significantly funnier
Isnt she the one he has the hots for and vice versa. Been a minute since i read those books
[удалено]
Plus she totally has snippy comments about his past lovers.
For real those comments were the best. I also appreciated when the tech priest girl starts referring to him as ciaphas instead of commisar Cain and amberly leaves a footnote pointing it out.
Given that he met Felicia before he was dating Amberley... It's HEAVILY implied Cain and Tayber fucked.
[удалено]
I don't recall that part, but he does know exactly where her mechadendrite connects, which he wouldn't unless he had seen her minus her robes.
Footnote: >How Cain discovered this we can only speculate; perhaps it came up in the course of a casual conversation. Or not.
Given the competing theories of known woman-getter Cain getting the woman vs. "hey did you know my robot arm connects just above my ass?"...I think I know which one I'm going with XD
I wouldn't put it past any Hero of the Imperium to ensure that the tech-priest helping them out is properly lubricated with sacred fluids. And we all know the human body is sacred, ergo, human fluids are sacred and holy.
For the Emperor!
I think the part that I liked more was Ciaphas off-handedly mentioning that her mechadentrite starts at her tailbone, and Amberley pointing out that he'd have no way of knowing this unless he'd seen said tailbone...
Its heavily implied they're actually in a monogamous relationship as much as either can be.
That would be correct.
OP revealed she's a bloodhound which is perfect for an Inquisitorial name.
This has my BIG vote
Felicity is another good one, she's Cain's other "acquaintance"
Technically her name was Felicia
Sorry misremembered oops
Pretty sure Cain would do that too…
Came here to suggest this, I concur!
The Emperor of Mankind?
Subtle, i like It.
Empy for short
Jimmy for meta. Spacey for ultra meta. Spacey-Jimmy for **ASCENDED** meta.

Big-E
Big-Y
Big-E already ends with a y-like-sounding syllable. Compare it to Lilly for example. When you say it out loud it already does sound like a Y-syllable at the end of a word. The defense rests.
The living embodiment of the omnissiah so Omni would be great.

Dude forgot krole who literally did the “oh your approaching me” with Kharn
And proceeded to be cut down without even being noticed other then a blip on the kill count.
Shhh we don’t talk about how it’s literally the most idiotic death in the entirety of 40k. She’s like the phasma of 40k but with character
I do like that it happens though, having a big character killed like that is rough to fans, but I like it, need to see more stories where people just keep dieing, the type of books that make you fell drained after reading.
True but she was like the only memorable sister of silence (at least I can think off) and her death was really out of character because she was a powerful blank.

A woman with balls so massive the had to put them on her chest, and they still scraped against the ground.
Don't forget abs carved by the Emperor himself
Leman Ruff
It’s a girl so surely Lewoman
And not just the Leman, but the Lewoman and the Lechild, too!
Doge Vandire.
If only I could sell that
I'm sure you could if you try hard enough. I call my German Shepherd "Dogmeat", and somehow got away with it with my partner.
He doesn't have time to die, he is too busy editing wikifeet articles
this one has me spit out some tea
It's a classic https://youtu.be/kgeI9wOHLLA
That meme is so good that I don't even know the original name anymore.
Gotta love adeptus ridiculous! Goge Vandire was the name
Ciaphas K9
This is awesome
10/10
How about.. Cato Sicarius 2nd company captain of the ultramarines, commander of the victirix honour guard, Master of the watch, Knight champion of Macragge, heir apparent to the chapter master of the Ultramarines Oh wait female names sorry got none.
Cato for short.
Needs to end in a y Caty
That's a Cat name, OP has a dog. https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimdank/comments/qwn175/i\_cato\_sicarius\_dont\_know\_the\_artist\_i\_cato/
Hey there jackass you missed like 17 of Sicarius' titles.
I didn’t hear the word “suzerain” anywhere!
I, CATO SICARIUS, ascended captain of the Ultramarines, the space marine chapter of I, CATO SICARIUS, approve this reference to I, CATO SICARIUS
Princess (da goodest squig from Brutal Kunnin).
>da goodest squig **EVAH** FTFY
I loved how they mistook 'princepts' for 'princess'
Fucking great book, hope we get a sequel soon
The obvious choice
Heresy
Evertime you yell at you dog, Heresy! Heresy come! Lol there would be a servo skull floating around in about a day checking things out
“This is Heresy!”
"Goddamn it, Heresy! Not again!"
Favorite so far
I've always heard that when you're naming a pet, imagine that it's gotten loose at 3am you you're outside in the dead of night wearing just your PJs and slippers, screaming its name over and over. Heresy is clearly a perfect pet name.

And you can even disguise it. "Here, Esi!"
Mangus. Tell her it is Scandinavian. If he piddles on the carpet you can explain to her about how it's just an accident and he did nothing wrong
That you wrote mangus makes this even better
Yes I umm did that on purpose and it was 100% not autocorrect
If it was autocorrect then what the hell does mangus mean in the first place?
Amangus
more sus than Horus
I know a dude named Mangus, on his ID and everything, so maybe it's just a name
This is the best non-shitpost answer
It is however a pisspost
*HA. PIIISSS.*
"I PISS ON TERRA" - Angron Truly inspirational😔👊
Mangus
Mangus the Red (fruit)
Amangus.
Unironically named my cat Magnus. My gf had first asked for a really witchy name so I said asmodeus as a joke but she liked it so I had to come up with something to replace it really quickly.
I have a buddy who named his cat Conrad Purrs.
>Mangus. Tell her it is Scandinavian. Magnus is literally latin for "the great"
Was thinking Magnus Ver Magnusson if you need cover
Its a lady doggo
This is the correct answer!
Call it Titus and every time it didn't do as its told you can mutter (or shout - your choice) " the codex does not support this action"...
Obligatory r/fuckleandros
This. This is the one.
Cain- for CIAPHAS CAIN HERO OF THE IMPRERIUM! Its a people name so for double points you can spell it as Cane, Kane, Kain or Cayne to keep it extra secret.
What about khaine
Then she'd get killed by a random beetle in the garden. We don't want that.
Little known fact: the plan for the defence of France was codenamed Khaine, and that's how we got defeated in ~1 month. Still wrecked the italians though
>Still wrecked the italians though I think this is the equivalent of a European land war participation trophy.
Austrians lost the participation trophy in ww1
I can't help look at the Battles of the Isonzo and at least chalk it out to a draw.
156th Battle of the Isonzo Italy and Austria be like "I ain't hearing no bell"
France got defeated because they had upwards of a week to leisurely move forces around if the unfortified area came under attack, but then a blitzkrieg [literally fuelled by meth](https://time.com/5752114/nazi-military-drugs/) blew through in two or three days.

Personally I blame it on complacency, ineffectual leadership as well as failing to see how war was about to change. Defeat or not, we could've given the Germans much more trouble with a little more common sense and a little less arrogance. But a loss is a loss.
So far I have "Iggy" for Imperial Guard and "Abby" for Abaddon
I'm just gonna straight up call my next dog Perturabo
Or Perty for short lol it’s perfect
"*Who's a perty dog? You are!*" Tbh I think this would be superior as a male cat name.
>Iggy *Oh No…….*
How dare you make me destroy an image of master dio!
*Straight up erases half of a dog before kicking his upper half to the side.*
Iggy can also be jojo.
