Chaos Space Marine Name Generator

Chaos Space Marine names start from the same gothic, faintly Roman base as loyalist Astartes and then bend it toward their Legion's culture and patron god. Black Legion and renegade warlords keep Imperial-sounding names with a hard edge (Abaddon, Falkus Kibre, Haarken Worldclaimer). Word Bearers use Colchisian names heavy on Kor, Sor, Argel and -ek endings (Kor Phaeron, Erebus, Jarulek). Thousand Sons sound Prosperine and Egyptian (Ahriman, Hathor Maat, Menkaura). Night Lords carry Nostraman names that read as cold and Latinate (Talos Valcoran, Zso Sahaal). World Eaters pair short given names with brutal deed-names (Kargos Bloodspitter, Zhufor the Impaler), while Death Guard names rot into sounds like Grulgor, Necrosius and Typhus.

Epithets matter more for traitors than for loyalists. Ten thousand years of war means most named characters are known by a title earned in atrocity: the Despoiler, the Betrayer, the Eternal, the Undying. Rank is the other half of the formula, and ranks are Legion-flavoured: a Warsmith is always Iron Warriors, a Dark Apostle always Word Bearers, a Sorcerer most likely Thousand Sons, while Chaos Lord, Chosen, Aspiring Champion and Master of Executions fit any warband.

The list mixes canon characters with original names grouped loosely by Legion: plain names, rank-and-name, and name-and-epithet, for everything from a squad sergeant to a warband leader.
