Update:
As the community has completely smashed this challenge by finding all 15 references in less than half the available time, we thought we’d extend it and see if you guys can deal with some really obscure references.
To that end we’re adding these five new cards to the challenge, and a fourth prize card that everyone will get if the five new cards are solved in time. The time limit remains the same – midday on Friday 13th December.
So, as before try to find the reference we used to name these five new cards, pointing out the publication we took the names from. Submit your answes as comments to this blog post. Good luck!Original post:
Rather than this week’s planned faction catch-up (which will return next week with the Tyranids) I thought it would be fun to mark the 100th blog post with a challenge for the community – a chance to prove the depths of your Warhammer 40,000 knowledge and win free cards for everyone.
References
As mentioned in previous posts, wherever possible the names we give the characters on our cards come from Games Workshop, with the team only creating brand new names for characters that don’t usually have them – such as the Tyranids.
The names we use come from a whole range of GW references, stretching all the way back to Rogue Trader (first-edition 40K), right up to the latest releases. So my challenge to the community is to tell me where we got the names for these 15 cards from:
Every one of these characters has a name that’s in some way a reference from 40K, and while it should be pretty easy to work out where some of these references are from others will require some serious nerd knowledge!
Rewards
As some of the references are going to be pretty difficult to find we’re going to split the potential prizes up into three tiers, so the more the community get right the more cards everyone receives. And the potential cards everyone can earn are:
Rules
So how does all this work?
- Starting from now, try and work out where we got the names of the 15 cards shown above. Don’t worry about their subtitles – just the names.
- Post your answers as comments to this blog post – discussing it on other sites is absolutely cool but only answers below will be counted.
- The answers need to be reasonably specific when citing where we got the reference from. Something vague like ‘an issue of White Dwarf’ won’t cut it, but the specific issue is good.
- For example, you might post Brother Gabriel ‘Broken Knife’’s name is from Codex T’au Empire (by the way, don’t worry about the ‘Brother Gabriel’ bit from his name, and, yes, that is a clue).
- Feel free to make as many guesses for each card name as you like, there’s no penalty for wrong answers.
- It doesn’t matter who submits the answers – only that someone does so. Every player will receive the same prizes, so it’s up to the combined Warhammer Combat Cards community to unlock the cards for everyone.
- The cut off is midday UK time next Friday – the 13th December 2019. That gives you just over a week. Answers after that point won’t be counted.
- A week after that (Friday 20th December) blog post 102 will reveal how many you guys got right and share all the answers.
- On the same date a ‘Community Challenge’ pack will appear inside the Combat Cards game, which everyone can ‘buy’ for free to receive the prize cards. So if the community finds 5 of the card name references the free pack will contain one card prize, if you get 10 correct the pack will have two prizes and all 15 correct means it will have three prizes.
- Once you’ve claimed the free Community Challenge pack the cards in it will appear in your collection and the game will start giving you duplicates of them like any other card.
- Prize cards that don’t get added to the pack may be added to the game at some later date but we have no plans to do that right now.
Conclusion
Good luck with the challenge, I wasn’t kidding when I said that some of these references will be seriously difficult to find, so I’m predicting 5 or 10 will be found but not all 15.
I hope you guys find this a fun challenge, in which case we’ll look at running it again for blog post 200, but that’s way off in the (grim, dark) future of 2021.
If you have any questions on how the challenge works you can get in touch by leaving a comment below, through our Facebook page or by mailing [email protected] (but remember, only answers posted as comments below will be counted towards the results).

Can you provide a page number for this reference?
Bzzark the Fly-Borne is from the 8th Ed chaos daemons codex
(Just in case my other post isn’t put up, better to double up)
@Stuart – that’s because it’s not in there 🙂 (afaik)
…however, if you wish to look at the little story box on p72 of WD issue #115 It mentions Traldak …and Chirda 🙂

Traldak – Traldak Xornbane from Out of the Abyss Forgotten Realms D&D 5th Ed. It’s an adventure in the Underdark which can be seen as similar to the Underhive. Xorns further have six limbs like a Genestealer.
Amazing guess, but see my response to Paul Hynes re. Traldak.
Traldak can be found in the book:
Out of the Abyss, Rage of Demons: A D&D adventure.
This book was a collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Green Ronin Publishing.
Bryan Blume of Tactical Studies Rules (TSR – original publishers of Dungeons & Dragons) sent a sample copy of D&D to Games Workshop founders Steve Jackson, Ian Livingstone, and John Peake. The three were so impressed by the richness and imaginative qualities of the game that they reached out to TSR and became the first and exclusive distributor of Dungeons & Dragons in Europe in the 70s.
You can find Traldak in Chapter 13 – The Wormwrithings. Page 169:
“The shield
dwarves hail from the Silver Marches and are named
Dauthorn Brightmantlc (male), TRALDAK Xornbane(male). Zulia Stonewhisper (female), and Hargritr
Hammerhome (female).”
Thanks for the post but (as has been confirmed) Traldak is from an old White Dwarf. Making the name a Dungeons and Dragons reference would have been an incredibly niche link to Warhammer 40,000. That’s worthy of the National Treasure films – maybe a sequel ‘The Traldak Affair’?

Traldak – the name is made from letters in the name of Ordo Xenos Inquisitor Kalistradi who specialized in Genestealer infestations and was killed by genestealers trying to destroy the Broodlord of Lordsholme.
Deathwatch: Final Sanction page 27
Turns out it’s just a name from an ancient White Dwarf, but I applaud your thinking!

Just in case this came before the RT 40K Compendium or this is where the WCC team saw it 🙂
The Commisar Training Squads article appeared in White Dwarf #115 p.5
“Commissar Chellik turned to the cadet…”
We did actually see it in the White Dwarf but the Compendium reference was also valid. Thanks for checking.

“The Genestealer slumped, causing Traldak and Chirda to turn in horror.”
Nicely found! That was probably the most difficult reference to find, so excellent work.
Thank you 🙂

Rukfang is possibly from “Imperium Nihulus: Vigilus Defiant” (although an Ork by the same name also appears in “The Citadel Journal”, Issue 33) while Fenrik from the novel “Grey Hunter” by William King.
The only one of the new five that isn’t solved is Fenrik Red-eye. I didn’t take his name from the Grey Hunter novel but am willing to accept it as a valid reference if someone can scan in a page with his name displayed.
I can’t post the picture so I guess I will copy some paragraphs with the name Fenrik mentioned in chapter 14 of the Grey Hunter novel if that counts.
“He strode on for a dozen paces wrapped in his dreams of glory, but as he did so, other thoughts filtered into his mind, less bold, less bright, more chilling. He turned and looked up at the massive oil painting of the Battle of Balinor, a canvas depicting one of the most famous fights of the 38th millennium. Beneath it stood the statue of Great Wolf Fenrik Grimheart. The statue held a battered old helmet under one arm, and a notched chainsword in the other. It was the same sword that the painter had depicted covered in blood in the picture.
Where was Fenrik now, wondered Ragnar? Gone, along with all the others whose statues lined this corridor. They had found glory and they had found greatness, but in the end the grave had claimed them too. No matter how famous, men had still sung their funeral songs, and toasted them with the burial cup. Their gene-seed had been returned to the Chapter just like the gene-seed of the common warriors who had followed them. Yes, they were remembered in song and saga and the annals of the Chapter, but they were gone. Their thrones were occupied by a different man. In the end, what had all their striving got them but the same reward as everyone else?”
Thanks for taking the time to do that. Unfortunately that mentions Fenrik Grimheart and we’re looking for Fenrik Red-Eye, who is a distinct character that we’ve referenced from somewhere Warhammer 40,000 related.
All I know is that Ed Zappa is from Codex: Orks, 8th edition
Is the name Fenrik Red-Eye derive from Fenrik Grimheart from Grey Wolf 3: Grey Hunter?
Nope, there is a character in the lore somewhere called Fenrik Red-eye.
Is’t Fenrik from the Original combat Card game? i believe he is a Space Wolf Aggressor.
Another 5 charge
credit to those share their finding
Fenrik – Grey Hunter Book – Chaper 14.
Skumbo – Gorkamorka Da Uvver Book – Page 97

Rukfang – The Gorkamorka mini campaign – Citadel Journal Issue 33 Page 33
Brother Gjorn – Deathwatch codex page 25, twice mentioned
No-one’s been able to show a reference to Fenrik Red-Eye from the Grey Hunter book so that name is still to be solved, but other than that all of the names have been found!
Fenrik (Grimheart) is a Great Wolf charakter named in the novel Grey Hunter (Space Wolf 03), as state by Andy.
Maby Fenrik Red-Eye was his name befor becoming Grimheart….
Fenrik (Grimheart) is a Great Wolf charakter named in the novel Grey Hunter (Space Wolf 03), as state by Andy.
I this book, the plot is about a Chaos Sorcerer (Madox) that tries to bring back Magnus “the Red Eye”
So the Rey-Eye in Fenrik Red-Eye was maby the clue…

Just joined this forum and it’s Amazing! Unfortunately not so many WH novels are translated in Italiano but please go on.
Brother gjorn is from codex deathwatch
Fenrik Red-Eye is mentioned in Page 316, Deathwatch Core Rulebook.
“Less than half the time”?
Less than 48hrs 😉
Well done to everyone who contributed, sorry for giving us the extra five.
A big shout to Katitude and Phaedros for their work on the extra five 😀
@Stu – Had the intention always been to have the extra five if we found the first fifteen?
Actually no, we decided to add the additional five later. To be honest I had no idea whether the community would engage with finding the references (some of them were pretty obscure) let alone how quickly they’d do it!
Damn guys… Great job. I thought the Space Wolf guy was from the Space Novel in which you get to see Space Wolf raising from scractch to real soldiers.
