[Narrative] Necron Name Generators

In my Codex: Necrons review I recall feeling a bit put out that the Dynastic Epithets table from ninth edition had failed to make the cut, but quite pleased that there was a name generator for those occasions when your neurons aren't firing.

For my own convenience, and your potential application, I've rammed the two d66 tables from the last two editions together. 

One could, in a Crusade environment, roll up an Epithet for characters that reach Blooded rank, and a Title from the first list at Battle-Hardened, and a Title from the second at Heroic.

One could, perhaps, extrapolate all manner of past glories from the never-heard-of-again cultures referenced in the table, or simply replace them with the contemporary proper nouns from one's enemies who are sold in plasticated form by Games Workshop PLC for real real in the here and now. The Choice Is Yours. The Future Is Now. Shrovis-Bishopthorpe. Forge Your Narrative.

There are no fewer than seven proper posts in the drafts, but I'm not able to sit up and paint like I want to at the moment, and Garbutt has the brain fever, so you're getting this filler instead.
