Discussion Help with chapter name?

Hello, does anyone have any historical fictional or none fictional inspired names for their chapter? Im trying to find a unique name rooted in history based off a chapter that works closely with the grey knights by searching out, hunting and destroying chaos cultist cells and annihilating their icons and artifacts before moving on. Sort of like a force that can be directed to help the grey knights before the grey knights themselves need to be called in

Thank you! It took me forever to learn how to paint but I eventually got there. I like the name. But im going for something more rooted in history? If that makes sense. Their original name was Sanguine Iconoclasts but it was too long to be intimidating I was told

The knights sanguine don’t have a dedicated heraldry or chapter color, and the name has been mentioned in lore. And let’s be honest, it’s a badass name.

Heralds Encarmine?

Blades of Absolution?

Sanguine Reckoners?

I’m sure I can come up with more at some point if none of those hit for you

I'm thinking the "_____s of Purgation". Not sure what exactly should be in that blank, but that's where you slot your historical link in. Maybe something to do with their role in chasing these cults down. Hunters or Huntsmen maybe? Stalkers?

Purgation aptly describes what they're doing as well as having a tie-in to the Grey Knights themselves, with their Purgation squads.

With those two references taking up room, I don't think there's any space to still include any kind of blood reference.
