Fantasy Military Name Generator

Numbered regiments with nicknames, named legions and cohorts, knightly and religious orders, royal and household guards, mercenary free companies, ranger and scout corps, siege and engineer units, battlemage cadres, naval and airborne units, and race-flavored dwarven, elven, orcish and halfling formations. It also includes militias, levies and irregulars for the less glamorous parts of an army.

Name the army after its ruler, purpose or banner (the Host of the Ivory Throne, the Sunward Fleet, the Grand Army of Mirovar) and then fill it with units from this list that use different conventions: a household guard, a few numbered line regiments, a knightly order, some hired free companies and a provincial levy. The variety is what makes it feel real.

Yes. They work as factions for a campaign, as the employer or enemy of an adventuring party, as the unit a fighter or paladin character served in, or as opposing forces in mass-combat rules. Units like Nightglass Infiltrators or Witchfinder Company also make good antagonist organizations on their own.

Numbers imply a bureaucratic, standing army that has raised many units over time, like the Roman legions or Napoleonic line regiments. Names without numbers suggest feudal, tribal or religious forces where each unit is unique. Mixing both in one setting is a quick way to show which cultures are centralized and which are not.
