Or Skull Knights (and aptly modeled).

I think Cold One Knights fits them well. Simple, obvious, but just enough symbolism to make them spooky.

@Blondshade - You have a very peculiar definition of "all" because the majority of the posters in this thread (including me) seem to have signalled our disagreement with the idea of renaming 'Cold One Knights' with any other name. There was certainly no concurrence over an agreed name, even by those who felt that the name 'Cold One Knight' was not as fully representative as it could be (and in fact, looking back at the posts on this thread, the sole comment about your proposed name of 'raptor riders' was to point out that Cold Ones look nothing like dinosaurs and is thus a thoroughly unsuitable name).

Don't confuse "a few of us" with "all".

The slightly funny thing is that - even assuming GW clicked on your link (which, lets be honest, they are highly unlikely to do) - all they'll find is a stream of people saying that the name 'Cold One Knights' are fine.

I have no idea if it was a joke, but I thought it was funny nonetheless :p

Sounds like a polititian... "a mandate from the electorate" simply because they were disliked a little less than the other guy.

@ Sulla: :D
@ Dalamar: probably right, but let's hope!
