Help me name Kitten and Magnus' ship!
HEY AGAIN.
First off, thank you thank you thank you for this months donations. I've been through a rough patch this month what-with the move to the new apartment, but now with your aid, which has grown bigger than ever this past month which I'm super happy about, I can actually eat something that isn't lentil soup! (Not hating on lentil soup though I actually adore it).
Now, for the reason I actually made this post, I thought of something fun and dumb. I mean, its not too much of a thing, but I'd like to ask you to help me out with choosing a name for the transport vessel Magnus and Kitten are riding in on their way to Nocturne!
It could be pretty much anything, be it the name the ship had before it was "stolen" by the two, or a name the two have given it themselves. If you want to give it some backstory or whatever as well, that is all the more fun, but totally optional, just throwing it up as a suggestion to spice things up more.
I can also totally change the colour of the hull and customize it a bit more if need be, this is Kitten and Magnus' great adventuring ship now after all, but I'll leave stuff like that up to suggestion too if you have any fun ideas!
Otherwise, yeah, I'm keeping on with my work! Expect an update when I have decided upon a name!
Thanks again, have a good one and Emperor bless <3

As for Kitten's suggestion of "Tau Slayer," Magnus argues against it as being way too obvious and a sign that Kitten just needs to let it go (he's actually fine with it, but wants to score one against Kitten for down-voting his choice). Each of them proceeds to refer to the ship by their preferred name. XD
Honestly, I could see Magnus trying really hard to call it "Suck It, Leman Russ," and Kitten having to put his foot down (since it would be super obvious to Imperial customs guys or somesuch something's not quite right about the ship). The compromise is Magnus gets to slap a vanity plate on the back reading, "Space Wolves Suck,"since there are probably inter-chapter rivalries all over the place and this isn't something completely out of line.
Tau Amans. (Amans is Latin for lover. I can practically hear kitten screaming "that was not cannon!" in my head already)
Phalus primus
"Rusty Playground". Because it looks like an old ship and Magnus is basking in his lost childhood.
The Shadowsun. Kitten "No reason, no reason at all. Can't I like SHADOWS, and SUNS!? NO, YOU ARE HIDING SOMETHING!"
Jokaeros Revenge
EMS Kitten (Emporer's Magestic Ship) Could be how he got the name kitten
Idiot Carrier
The Slaughterer's Laughter
"parvum recompensacione" Latin for "Compensation for Smallness"
"Mendacious Merchant" The glorious M@M. Known for extreme (almost evil) cunning, led by Capt Blackadder the CCXIVth. With such history as convincing a ork warlord that a sun was a planet and ejecting refugees to distract and destroy a dark elder cabal fleet.
biggus shippus - latin for something i dunno
Latus Recipe - latin for side story
The Indrick Boreale
Oh and have the ship have a chef called Karl.
of course kitten would be fine with it being all emotionless while Magnus would be all awkward.
Make them steal a ship from the Sisters of Battle and have a clip of them in their sleeping quarters which would have all sorts of 'Sisters stuff' for comedic effect.
The Litany of Furry
The Space Fucker. The Space Murder Fucker.
She's one of ours sir. The Magnanimous Kitten. The Custodial Red Menace. Tzeentch Destroyer.
The Titanicus
Hrm honestly no idea but I hope we get a decent one.
I think it needs a canon name and a nickname. like a canon imperial ship name, something like 'The Emperors Regret' and then a silly nickname that keeps changing each time you change scenes to it so that you can put in several of the name listed here.
The Enterprise
Magnus lets Kitten name it. Kitten names it either 'Fuck the Tau', leading to unintentional embarrasment, or 'Horus Sucks' or some such. Or Magnus names it after Kitten and calls it the 'Pussy Wagon'
Given that Magnus' first learned of the warp as 'The Great Ocean' and this is a space ship, perhaps he would connect both his title as Magnus the Red to a oceanic term in honor of his fallen homeworld of Prospero where he first learned of the wonders of the universe. Magnus: "I christen this ship the Red Tide!" *cue Kitten's awkward silence*

"I feel the 'Might of the God-Emperor' is a little too... overwhelming of a name for a simple Imperial Transport, Companion. Perhaps we should rename it." "Does the name really matter, Milord?" "As a matter of fact, it does! Besides, since the vessel is technically in our possession now, it's only fitting to rename it. How about, 'Facing Reality'?" "I get the suspicion you only wish to change the name of the vessel because it sings the Emperor's praises." "T-that's not true at all! We simply need a name that fits the quest you and I have embarked on. Now help me with a name, Companion." "How about, 'Daddy Issues'?" "You must not be particularly attached to your flesh if you wish to mock me." "You simply asked for a fitting name. I answered." "Then I suppose I'll just name this ship, 'Oily Mustardian' and mount you to the front as a figurehead." "On second thought, 'Facing Reality' sounds like a fantastic name!" Trying to think how Kitten and Magnus would actually talk is a pain in the ass. You've got my sympathies, Alfa.
It looks like a big white dick with a jacobs ladder piercing. Name that shit "The Emperors Endowment". Maybe make it look more like a dick.

a warhammerish name for a ship? What class is it? Edit: for fun, I say Indignatus Cittylus.
Call it Magicat, duh. Oh wait, you mean spaceship. IN THAT CASE: The Buddy Boat Magny Magic's Party Palace Red Rocket Dangerbus Lake of Freedom Actually, count Magicat in. For something slightly more serious: The Winds of Change Rose Gold Beacon Gathering Storm (topical AND befitting their purpose) Flaming Sunrise Golden Wind (because I know you can't resist a Jojoke).
The Banana Boat
...The ship should be called Book Fort. After all, Magus is most likely going to be filling most of the rooms with books anyway.
The Henry, a ship formerly owned by an insane rogue trader
*Opens Battlefleet Gothic to check ship class* Imperial Transport ship. Barely armed and not at all dangerous to anything bigger than a rok full of squigs unless there's a 16 foot tall angry red psyker on board. "We need to name this ship, Custodes." "Why? And it already has a name. The manifest said it's the INS Conveyor of Truth." "We need a grand name for the ship that will embark on our glorious quest. How about ... The Fact Finder?" "Isn't that pretty much what it's already called?" "No, truth is an abstract concept that is entirely based on the perspective of the person, facts are concrete manifestations of reality." "So pretty much what you HAVEN'T been for the past ten thousand years." "I can see that father's wit has been rubbing off on his companions. Very well, what would you call it?" "Um... How about the Pedantic Damnation?" "Are you mocking me?" "You know Custodes are incapable of that level of emotion." "How about we call it the Greased Kitten in that case?" *Teakettle noises* "Fact Finder it is, milord!"
Oh this is real good.
The "INS Imperial Navy Ship". INS Not The Ship We're Looking for. INS Catspaw. INS I need to decide on a better name oh crap that's now the ships name stop stop stop how do I stop it (As named by Magnus by accident). INS whose on first. INS Convoy Missions Suck. INS this is the worst escort mission ever. INS Lets hope they attack the other transports. INS how far to the edge of the map. INS BRACE FOR IMPACT. INS What do you mean we don't have shields. INS why yes I have been playing Battlefleet Gothic Armada why do you ask.
See, I thought you were looking for a shipping portmanteau name when I clicked the link. I'll. . . show myself out.
Jokes aside, the <i>Magnificato.</i>
HDMS Phallus Magnificus. (His Divine Majesty's Ship)
After Magnus boarded the ship "acquired" by Kitten,he noticed the name engraved on it was "Men's Wisdom",with" Auctoritas non veritas facit legem" below.He immediately blasted the wall upon which it was written,then turning and scorching in the nearest wall "Aegrescere medendo". Kitten points that his temper might be growing out of hand.A tad pissed Magnus asks him what name Kitten would give.After Pondering,Kitten writes with charcoal "Potius sero quam numquam". Magnus just eyes it for a couple seconds then turns and writes "Quidquid latine dictum, altum videtur".Kitten then suggests "Glory of Journey" and they agree to let the matter drop.
S.S. GoldyMagik (MagnyMagik + Kitten and Emperor's favourite color)
The Pleasing Lubrication.
The Holy Fury of the Emperor's Fury
it should be called the SS DEPRESSION
What about the R.S.V Plot Driver?
The Screaming Lover. Just because of potential embarrassing silences as the vessel is identified by others.
Holactie, it's the yugioh egyptian god card you have to use the other three (ra, 'slifer', and obelisk) to summon. Egyptian themed for Magnus and CHILDREN'S CARD GAMES for Kitten.
The M-ESS Getter of Shit Done
Kitty kruiser/bold bruthas battle barge/Generic Transport 0101/TTS 332 (subscriber numbers as of now)
Generic Transport 0101? ! Wow, it must be one of the oldest transport ships in the Imperium! That thing's probably a shrine to ... moving things around.
So, hey Alfa. I think you should name it something psykery and a little edgy, like Magnus himself. I think it' origins should be like, it's Ahriman's second(or first ship) that Magnus stole from him for fucking up the Thousand Sons. And then he took it to a mechanicus spaceship-gas station to clean it up.
