I came I saw I conquered That might work if it was all on one tank or if just "Vici" was on one tank but if you have a tank rolling around named "Veni", well "I came" isn't that greatest name for a tank unless its slaanesh.

I personally like the names of my tanks. It's latin, and sounds cool.

I use rather obvious German numerical designations 'Vierzehn' 'Funfzehn' 'Sechszehn' To suggest a squad in an attached Panzer division, but Dog Latin is a safe way to go:-
Moritori Nolumus Mori (my planned command Baneblade, dog latin for 'We who are about to die dont want to') Malleus Mortis Imperator Gloriam
Or in English: Smite The Foul Fist of X
And so on.

For my Catachan 7th Armored:
Three converted Exterminators: Here Comes the Pain, Hard Rain, Rue the Day.
Demolisher: Big Show--am still thinking up names for the other two I'm adding to the squadron; considering "The Game" for one of them, but am drawing a blank for the third.
Converted Vanquisher with counts as Pask: Donkey Punch--recently renamed from The Fist of God due to poor performance in every game that I've used it in--best result it's ever gotten was an immobilized on a Chaos Dreadnought...
Executioner: Sexecutioner--an homage to the band GWAR who use the lyric "plasma cannons spewing death on anything that dare protrude" in their song "The Obliteration of Flab Quarv VII." The tank's commander is converted from Shaeffer's Last Chancers' Rocket Girl with an Escher heavy stubber arm replacing the missile launcher.
For the three LRBTs that are in progress I am considering naming them Krak sleeper, Krak Baby, and Krak Head.

chwinn... I really like the mud effect on your Executioner! Mind sharing how you achieved it?

Thanks! After the tank have been painted (including wash and etc...) put PVA glue (or carpenter glue or school white glue) with a brush on the area you want to be muddy. Dip in sand or throw sand at it and then do your paint job on the sand once dry. (I don't use GW sand for it is too unatural (I.e. : 2 large pebble 4 medium 10 small,...not random...) I use natural sand for it's random pieces...And the price....

Cool! Thanks for the tip, chwinn. ;D I've been using a mix of paint and baking soda for my mud effects, but it's not chunky enough. I'll give your method a try, as I've got a big container of gardening sand that I use for basing.

LRMBT: Old Goat Grits Ork Shovel Campy Crack
LRExterminators: Foe Fire Twin
Demolisher/ Executioners: Thump Spud
Hell Hound: Rocky
Sentinels: Hunt Scout
Basilisks: Giggles Big Gus Hammer
Chimeras: Wolf Track Boss Moose Stickers Tin Can
When I build a new tank and paint it, I sit and stare at it on the table, rolling it in my army's fluff. the campaigns its been in, the people its carried, until it has a personality of its own and name it accordingly. sometimes it comes right away, sometimes not. but its a fun way to flesh out my fluff and name the tank at the same time
