Very funny german names...
I just read the names for the German "Weltraumwaffe" in Brigade X. It sounds so funny for germans. (Pfaff is a well known company in Germany among house wives which sells sewing machines and Totauge reminds me of the name of a small river fish)
"Pfaffbeschleuniger" and "Totauge" missile. Yippi! Games Workshop schau owa.

What are you saying? That our highly-paid German-language advisor (i.e., Alta Vista's Babelfish... 
) is in error???

Umm... what?

No, your bubblefish is great. I really love you english native speakers when you try to use some german expressions. (maybe it is similar comical if we germans use english)
Games Workshop does the same thing in their warhammer fantasy books. For example once they named a cruel demon "zahnarzt" (which maybe sounds dangerous in english, but means "dentist" in german)
I admit complete guess work in my amateur attempt to make reasonable names for the German forces. My German contacts failed to validate, but I am glad they provide some fun, though the GW comparisons sadden me. 
Well, whenever I create a German faction, I tend to stick to names of vessels that have already been built. Bismarck, or Grosser Kurfurst for example. As for weapon names I just use the English translation. I don't speak foreign languages easily, if at all, so I stick to what I know best...:D
The german word "Pfaffe" ist also a old fashioned german word for "priest". So one could imagine what ammunition a "Pfaffbeschleuniger" has.

What, dentists aren't scary? They shove needles and drills in your mouth, for cripe's sake!
Ever since that "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech I figure Germans expect us to mangle their language, just like the Japanese expect our presidents to randomly vomit on them.

Not as good as the infamous Nun Gun, a technology inspired by a certain old tv show. The wimples make them more accurate, you know.

Now that is hilarious.
We need an artist's rendition, stat!
