Quick /tg/! I need names for mercenary companies and the reason for their name!
Real, fake, from ficiton or your imagination, sci-fi or fantasy, doesn't matter!

>The Blades of Dawn
Known for their siege-breaking, famously on the day before the besieged were to surrender

>The 4 Strikes
Each new recruit must learn the martial art of this company, which includes the eponymous secret technique, which guarantees the death of the victim

>The Crown Takers
So named as they work exclusively for revolutionaries, though the method to contact them is unknown

>The Red Gorgons
Hailing originally from Mars, each member is subjected to ritual disfigurement upon recruitment

it's unlikely you'll come up with something better than these guys

>>50196491
The Bad Weather Balloons. They are called so because their favorite fighting tactic is to inflate themselves with Helium, Float over their target, and harrass them with a bombardment of falling hand-grenades.

Check these out.
>Blood Hearts
Known for their cannibalism. They have a clause in every contract that enables to eat their killed enemies' hearts.
>Crimson Spiders
Called so for their use of nets, spears and poison. Quite fearsome in cities and forests, pretty much useless in open field.
>Brass Charms
Called so for their usage of brass amulets with their names and names of their homelands engraved on them.
>Stone Knuckles
Make great use of stone golems, in fact, 90% of the company are golems, the rest are auxillaries i.e. medics, snipers, scouts and golemomancers.
>Storm Battleaxes
Specialize on shock operations and use magic\hi-tech battleaxes that can charge up electricity via friction. Really, really hate it when these battleaxes fall into wrong hands, which means pretty much anyone outside of the group.

A classic mane that has endured across centuries.
>>
>>50196491

All-bard mercenary party. It is said that when they are playing perfectly, they can shatter bone and rend flesh with naught but sound.

>>
>The Shrikes

>>
>The Enforcers
specialise in non-lethal combat and never take assignments that would require them to kill someone
they use brass knuckles and short clubs to knock their enemies out or just "teach them a lesson" if that was their task
>>
> The Silencers
You call them when you want absolutely everything dead, leaving only silence.
>>
>The Puppeteers
a group of industrious necromancers, they let their undead minions do the fighting for them. they travel to the job location in big, closed wagons with specially outfitted and embalmed corpses.
when the job is done they add the enemies' corpses into their collection

I happen to be an expert on this subject.
Spectre
>something about appearing and disappearing and leaving only carnage in their wake
Vagrant Guns
>ragtag group of virg-er, misfits with no real home aside from the battlefield
Vanir
>Norse mythology, I think?
Sabbath
>I don't know, these guys were always kind of edgelords, I guess they wanted a cool-sounding name
Revadeon
>I don't know this one either, I guess it just sounded cool
Damn Near Dead
>bunch of lunatics who fight to near death every time
Black Blood Legion
>another bunch of edgelords
Furry Death Squad
>self explanatory
Song of Seraphim
>edgelords led by a real prima donna
Beyond the Apex
>that prima donna got mad and found another bunch of edgelords to lead
Tank Life
>dudes love their tanks/tank mechs
ITA-AC
>Italian Armored Core. Can be Corps if no mechs are involved. They're Italian.
Raven Republic
>they take the name Raven from mercenaries of old
Vanaheim Elite
>definitely Norse mythology

Well, those are basically all the names I can remember. Look up videos about Armored Core V and Verdict Day, especially team fights. You'll see a lot of mercenary company names pop up.
And yes, all of those were actual teams in those two games. Even the spoilered one. Here, have our emblem.

Puritans came to identify their political struggle against Charles with that of the ancient Hebrews against Pharaoh or the King of Babylon. Because they identified so strongly with ancient Israel, they chose overwhelmingly to identify with the Old Testament, which of course is the Hebrew Bible. They read it everywhere, studied Hebrew and even gave their children Hebrew names. Cromwell's "New Model Army" marched into battle singing Psalms and carrying banners embroidered with the Lion of Judea; their battle cry was "The Lord God of Hosts."

Near-future semi-apocalyptic setting.

>Arizona Road Hogs
Formed in the American Southwest during the Contraction, the Arizona Road Hogs started as a simple highway gang but were able to make the transition to semi-legitimate mercenary work when law and order was (tenuously) re-established. Motorcycle cavalry and armored cars. Although they have largely professionalized, their marketing material still plays up their criminal past.

>Somalia Screamers
Afro-Chinese mercenaries recruited from the Chinese neo-colonial enclaves. Specialized in anti-riot work, armed with a wide variety of high-tech gear including the titular seizure-inducing 'screamers'.

>Penanggalan Company
Pirate-hunters operating in South-East Asia, with a strong emphasis on intelligence-gathering and night attacks. Their name comes from a vampire myth common in the area.

>Epsilon Executive Solutions
This bloodlessly generic PMC is based out of Belgium, is virtually unknown to all but experts in international conflict, and has a list of warcrimes to its name as long as your arm. Operates in central Africa for a variety of multinational corporations.
