Naming of units.

I am a fan of Warhammer 40k and I keep in touch with the current edition. So, in the next update, can we change the names of some of the units and upgrades?

- Doom of Malantai into Neurothrope.

- Imperial Guards into Astra Militarum.

- Stormtroopers or Karskin into Tempestus Scions.

- Inquisitorial Stormtroopers into Inquisitorial Henchmen or Warriors.

- Heretics into Cultists. Aspiring Champion for Cultists into Dark Apostle.

- Ravenor Alpha into The Red Terror.

- Lictor Alpha into Deathleaper.

- Battlewagon into Battlefortress. Interestingly enough, if the Leman Russ engages the Battlewagon, he will refer to it as Battlefortress.

- Warlock upgrade for Wraithguards into Spirit Seer.

- Eternal War upgrade for Chaos Space Marines into Veterans of the Long War.

- Chaos Dreadnought into Hellbrute.

All these changes are minor. Are they possible, or will people be confused with the name changes?

There is already a thread for this -> http://www.dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1448&hilit=Name+Changes, although the Warlock into Spirit Seer would be logical. :)

Indrid mentioned that Doom of Malantai will be changed so it's probably in the works.

Some of the names are more then apt in its orginal forms such as Eternal War for CSM and IST. Also, Battlewagon and Battlefortress are different units. I'm not opposed to some of the rest but they seem unnecessary. That's just my two cents, even when I don't play the game (yet). :P

Chaos Dreadnought into Hellbrute

Not the same thing.
The one in the game is a Ferrum Infernus Chaos Dreadnought, not an Hellbrute (because Hellbrute wasn't a thing when the game came out).

There is already a thread for this as stated before.

Neurotrhope will happen.
There is no reason to change IG to Astra Militarum for the same reason Space Marines aren't called the Adeptus Astartes.
It's a battlewagon, not a battlefortress.
It's a Chaos dreadnought and not a hellbrute.
Stomtroopers, inq stormtrooper, heretics, Ra, LA & EW could use a change, not very necessarily though, up to the team.

Already a thread on this, and frankly the old names are better, even if Cultists is correct it would not at all fit their voicelines.

you are forgiven for not knowing about my thread, the in-forum search function is less than stellar.

that said, i'd be best if we just keep the replies to either of them. dont want to have two threads for basically the same thing.
