Community Challenge - Prysin - 10-07-2012
As some of you may or may not know, Outcasts are getting their own shipline in 4.87 (finally!)...
Now, the models can be found here (click here) and these models need a proper "name".
Now the existing BW line consisting of the Dagger, Scimitar, Stiletto, Switchblade, Sabre and Cutlass are all based on "blade" type of weapons.
The new line will consist of a new LF, HF, VHF and Bomber (Falcata).
These all need new names, short of the bomber which is just getting a model replacement. However if someone got a better name for the bomber, it will be taken into consideration and possibly requested changed.
So, keywords/sentences that MUST be taken into consideration:
- Must have a relation to a EUROPEAN bladed weapon, be it spears, swords, knives
- The more related to Spanish/Italian armies the better
- All names MUST be in line with eachother. Consistency is the keyword.
- No retarded names. Calling the ships "Small, larger, largest" version of a name does not count.
- "Foreign" names, as in translation of names are allowed. If one do translate the names, one must provide BOTH english, and translated version.
The winner will be selected by the Council of Dons, and will recieve a prize of 100 millions.

RE: Community Challenge - Rodnas - 10-08-2012
Light Fighter name: Pugnale (italian parrying dagger)
Heavy Fighter name: Cinquedea (an italian shortsword)
Very Heavy Fighter name: Spadino ( some sort of italian rapier)
Bomber Name: Basilardo ( an XXL version of the Cinqueda)
Your skype address: RodnasD
Reasoning: All italian blades, sorted by size/weight - and the names itself are not super long, so you can type them in reasonable time, if not they lend themselves for nicknames quite fine
(Puggy, Chinque, Spadi, Basi ...)

Spanish translations of various melee weapons. Quite simple, but I like the pronunciation of those names.

I went with a mishmash of the ancient Mediterranean since that seems pretty Outcasty-y to me. I also thought maybe the VHF and bomber could be swapped, for logical progression, but I don't know if making a new ship named Falcata would be a good idea.
