What would a good name for a Valhallan Baneblade be? And for a Maccabean Jannisary Baneblade

I’ve got a Leman Russ named Mankind that is painted in Valhallan colors, should I name the Baneblade similarly?

For the Baneblade detachment, from a lore/modeling perspective, what titanic unit would be best as a Command Vehicle?

I want to model the next Baneblade kit I get as a commander.

The Baneblade itself is iconic, but I have two of them already, and a Stormlord, and would want to use one of the other models.

I’m tentatively thinking either the Hellhammer, as it is the only other one with a turret, or the Doomhammer, because Big Gun and a troop compartment for comms gear and a command suite makes sense to me.

I suppose I could go older and do an Arkurian Stormhammer, but that’s legends.

Suggestions?

I’m re-reading Baneblade, and the specifically mention it is a Mars Pattern. What other pattern Baneblades are there, and how do they differ from the one we know and love?

Came up with a silly Krieg Infantry list entirely based on US army organization:

Using Crucible of War rules, make a Krieg themed commander, as the Frontline Commander rules. He is your warlord.

Bring 3 Krieg Command Squads, 6 squads of 20 Kriegsmen, and 3 Krieg Heavy Weapon teams.

That gives you 3 platoons of 3 squads each (2 infantry and one heavy weapon) with a command squad for each platoon. The frontline commander is your Company Commander.

In addition, being 3 Artillery Teams and 3 squads of Engineers (2 5 man squads and one 10 man squad). These are the Regimental assets doled out to the company on an as needed basis. This gets you 1,880 points total.

If you want to fill in the last points, bring a squad of 10 Death Riders, as another Regimental Support unit.

Is it good? Probably not. Is it fun and flavorful? I sure hope so!
