The Warboss (Ork, ofc), Pudge (CSM), Garen (Smurf), Dannan (Eldar).

Nope. Was able to make 1 of every race.

I took an ironic/comical approach to names, I will only take Black Templar name seriously if they are added.

Corruptous Exterminatous (Space Marine, with Legion of Damned Hero)

Corruptous Maximus (Chaos Space Marine)

Space Elf (LMAO) still makes me giggle (Eldar)

Within past few hours? I literally cannot create a character because I put in name/orks then the next tab just says "choose". No options available......

nope, but I did it 4-5 hours ago.

Thanks for the response. Perhaps its disabled temporarily or something.

Orks: Skar
Eldar: Seraphim
Blood Angels: Gideon
Chaos Space Marines: Painkiller

I didn't get into the first cohort as my bowels betrayed me, but I snagged the exact names I wanted.

Zoat did you create your characters within past hour?

Nope, last night about twenty minutes after the Founders store opened.

This is why I am wondering if the system actually checks. I have a niggling doubt that it isn't, which will make me a sad panda.

I am wondering if the 'reservation' is perhaps for that race and/or Subfaction. So I might have the reservation on Gideon the Blood Angel but there could also be Gideon the Dark Angel, Gideon the Ork, etc.

I will be a bit annoyed if it is. Names are very important to me so grabbing them early was the biggest part of ordering so early, for me.

Thanks for the reply. That is a very strong possibility. Although that would be kind of sad.
