Primarch Name Generator

In legion order they are Lion El'Jonson (I), Fulgrim (III), Perturabo (IV), Jaghatai Khan (V), Leman Russ (VI), Rogal Dorn (VII), Konrad Curze (VIII), Sanguinius (IX), Ferrus Manus (X), Angron (XII), Roboute Guilliman (XIII), Mortarion (XIV), Magnus the Red (XV), Horus Lupercal (XVI), Lorgar Aurelian (XVII), Vulkan (XVIII), Corvus Corax (XIX) and Alpharius Omegon (XX). The Second and Eleventh primarchs are deliberately unnamed in the lore.

Games Workshop has never named them and has said it never will, so any name is fan lore. Most homebrew projects give them a name in the same mythic style as the canon eighteen plus a reason the record was purged. The original names in this generator are designed exactly for that kind of alternate or expanded heresy storytelling.

Ordinary Astartes get names from their recruiting world and chapter culture, so a Space Wolf is called Bjorn and an Ultramarine is called Cato. Primarchs are named like demigods: a single mythic name or a name plus a grand surname, nearly always paired with an epithet such as the Gorgon or the Phoenician, and never with a rank in front of it.

Yes. The fallen primarchs keep their original names and simply gain darker titles, as Magnus the Red became the Crimson King and Mortarion the Death Lord. Pick a name from the list and attach an epithet tied to the Chaos god in question, or use the more ominous entries for Chaos lords, daemon princes and Black Legion warlords.
