"The Double Helixes" like "Imperial Fists" or "Blood Angels" We need a name that encapsulates what our legion does and what we are.
And what is an Acillian? Well, in my own opinion, we are guardians. We watch over the Machine Spirits, and the Souls of Men from the perils of the warp. We safeguard the supply lines, the ammunition, the war machines, the factories. Our Techmarines will be prized among all others.
How about "The Watchmen" or some variation thereof?
Both a play on the fact that we are servants of the great cogs of the Machine God's device, and also emphasizing our role as protectors. Plus it will have more meaning when we invest heavily into Chronomancy and when we incorporate many different kinds of auxilia and cyberneticae. A fine machine is comprised of many cogs and gears working in tandem.
