The Manticore is a Siege Artillery (same as Bombard)

I don't think Nids are named. For IG, try using the names of historical
generals for the commanders of the armies - German for Mordians, Russian
for Valhallan, Arabic for the desert guys (?), and American for Cadians.
For Psykers, I stick to the Space Marine rule and use Roman/Greek names.

For detachments I just call them First Tank Company. Second Mechanized
Infantry Company etc. Eldar have goofy elf names, Space Marine and Ork
detachments are named after the commander. Again for Nids, name them
after what they do Assualt Swarm, Artillery Swarm etc.
