Generate names for the Black Legion and for the Sons of Horus and Luna Wolves they once were: Cthonian two-part names like Dask Morgaddon and Varn Kessand, Justaerin and Reaver veterans, warlords such as Okkar Throneburner, sorcerers, Chosen and a few warbands inside the Legion.

About Black Legion names

The Black Legion began as the Luna Wolves, renamed the Sons of Horus during the Great Crusade and remade under Abaddon after the Heresy. Its names come from Cthonia, the mined-out gang world where Horus was raised, and the Horus Heresy novels gave them a clear sound: a short, odd given name and a hard surname of two or three syllables. Ezekyle Abaddon, Horus Aximand, Tarik Torgaddon and Garviel Loken set the pattern, and familiar names are bent a little out of shape, as in Ezekyle and Garviel.

Most of this list is in that Cthonian style: line legionaries, captains and sergeants of the Sons of Horus such as Dask Morgaddon, Sevrin Volgost and Tovak Tarkend, a group marked as Luna Wolves, and veterans of the Justaerin Terminators and the Catulan Reavers. The Black Legion adds warlords who wear a deed as a surname like Haarken Worldclaimer (Okkar Throneburner, Vharn Starbreaker), plus Chaos Lords, Chosen, sorcerers, Dark Apostles and Warpsmiths.

Abaddon takes in warriors from every Legion and from renegade Chapters, so a smaller share of names carry another origin, and a few warbands and ships close the list. A handful of entries are characters from the books; the rest are original names in the same style, and none of them should be read as established lore.

How to choose Black Legion names

  • Build a Cthonian name from two unequal halves: a clipped given name of one or two syllables (Dask, Varn, Korl) and a heavier surname that ends hard, in -ost, -and, -addon or -en.
  • Set the era with the marker, not the name. A Luna Wolf and a Black Legion Chosen can share the same Cthonian name; the rank or unit in front tells the reader which war they are fighting.
  • Save deed-names for leaders. Throneburner or Gatebreaker says a warlord has a history, and it loses its weight if every legionary in the squad has one.
  • For a warrior from another Legion, keep the name he arrived with. Dantor Krios, once of the Iron Warriors, tells more of a story than a renamed convert.

Frequently asked questions

What do Black Legion names sound like?

The core of the Legion is Cthonian, so names follow the Sons of Horus pattern from the Horus Heresy novels: a short given name and a hard surname, as in the list's Madrik Sedrane or Josk Haxen. Later warlords often go by a deed-name such as Kullan Shipbreaker. Warriors taken in from other Legions keep names from their own home worlds.

Are these names from the Warhammer books?

A small number are well-known characters, including Ezekyle Abaddon, Horus Aximand, Tarik Torgaddon and Garviel Loken. Everything else was drafted for this page in the same style, for your own army, Kill Team or fiction, and is not established lore.

What is the difference between Luna Wolves, Sons of Horus and Black Legion names?

They are the same Legion at three points in its history, so the Cthonian names do not change. What changes is the dressing: Luna Wolves and Sons of Horus use Legion ranks such as Captain, Praetor and Sergeant and units like the Justaerin, while Black Legion names carry Chaos Lord, Chosen, Sorcerer or an epithet.

Does the list include warband names?

A few. Hosts inside the Legion such as The Speartip Host and Children of Cthonia are included for players who field one warband of the Black Legion. For a full list of warband names, see the Chaos warband name generator.
