Provisionally called my two:
Chiizu & Tamanegi
Or in English, Cheese & Onion, but it should look Ok in the original Japanese script, will be marking them up once I've nailed what sort of marking I want to add.
Figured I go with memorable names

Since "chiizu" would normally be written in katakana, while "tamanegi" would most likely be written in hiragana (or kanji, depending on how comfortable you are with freehanding complicated characters), I'd suggest a similarly whimsical name instead of "chiizu" that would likewise be written in hiragana (to fit in with the hiragana "tamanegi"): Soyokaze, or "gentle breeze." While probably most fitting for a Punisher, I think it would be an amusing name for a Demolisher or Exterminator.

Hirigana on one and katakana on the other isn't and issue, easy enough to paint, easier than roman characters at least, my Japanese is rusty to say the least but it is visually amazing and I like the sound of it.
Curse you though, I know have no choice but to add a demolished, I feel a gentle breeze comming on

Two other thoughts:
First, for a Trojen & Atlas: Bodgit & Scarper
And for battle tanks again:
"Smack Em" & "Be Done With It"
Its been that sort of day

I usually choose for SM pompous names like "Foecrusher" and like, but my underhive scum usually name tanks like "Stomper" and "Fragger"...

I picked names for a company of LRBTs, then I decided I don't like tanks. I'll leave the names here so someone else might use them:
Company Commander's LREradicator- Inescapable Justice Company Commissar's Paskquisher- Relentless Tanks- This Machine Kills Heretics; Mean Christine; Ironmongery; Last In, First Out; Astropathic Hate Machine; This Tank Sucks; We Stop for Roadkill (I was thinking of making this one a minesweeper flail from an Ork Deffrolla)

I will go for Marduk on my firrst one. There are a lot of really cool names from mythology. Ba'al, Wotan(better suited for space wolves perhaps), Donar (old germanic for Thor, suitable for a basilisk or something else with a huge gun), Behemoth, Leviathan, Cthtulhu, Beowulf, Nergal

I guess along the same lines as company photo ID cards, i.e. the more impressive the card the more meaningless and powerless the organisation. (its true you should see the card I have, very impressive...)
Give battle tanks reasonable names, like "mayfly", "Desert Flower" etc then save the likes of "foe crusher" etc for sentinels...

Since my regiment is from the planet Hessia and are notoriously morbid, I decided to name my three Hellhounds Arbeit, Macht, and Frei.

Get a vanquisher, extend the cannon as much as the laws of physics will allow and then call it the "Innuendo"

Personally, I like the idea of naming a Pasquisher, Executioner or Demolisher "Bullseye" not for its accuracy, but for the amount of fire they draw just by being on the table.
