I'm considering collecting a Dark Eldar army. I'm trying to think of some names for kabals, but I am having some trouble. I have thought of some, but I cannot choose between them.
Also, feel free list some of your own and use any of mine. Here they are:
The Kabal of the Shattered Bone
The Kabal of the Bleeding Heart
The Kabal of the Bleeding Eye
The Kabal of the Dark Oath
The Kabal of the Black Oath

Please, give some advice on which of these- if any- are decent, and any ideas of fluff you have for them. Thanks!

EDIT:
Please also give ideas for Covens and Wych Cults. Thanks!
. . .Covens:
The Thousand Eyes
The Seven
. . .Cults:
???

Personally I like the bleeding heart, seems...nice in my own sick DE way could have some fluff about the Kabal warriors/wych cult/archon/trueborn have a thing about ripping out fallen enimies hearts, and than proceed to eat them, their way of using 'power from pain' Wow I have a sick mind...or did I see it on an anime Pretty much its just Kabal of the [adjective] [noun] throwing in some gruesome words for good measure

In "Call of Cthulhu d20", RPG author J. Tynes said that "unimaginative cults have names that combine a body part with a synonym for darkness or blood".

So I'd suggest something like "Shattered Oath", to combine your words above into something original. Although "Bleeding Hearts", as said before, has a sarcastic ring to it for English speakers...

The Cult of The Stabby McTorture.















sorry.

How about Cabal of the Slave's Torment?

Alright, I've thougt about it, and I am narrowing the list further. It is between the Kabal of the Black Oath, the Kabal of the Dark Oath, and the Kabal of the Taloned Fist. For the Black Oath and the Dark Oath, I have made some fluff:
The leader of the Kabal is a powerful trueborn ancient, and once served the Haemonculus. He has learned how to take part of his follower's souls as the Haemonculus do as payment to restore their patrons to life. He gains great power from this dark oath that his followers make.
As for the Taloned Fist, I do not yet have fluff, though I have chosen their symbol. It is a left fist, and in place of fingernails are long, curving black claws. I do not know how to scan images into the computer, so I cannot show you. Sorry.

sorry.

Nice!

I like the kabak of the bleeding eye, but change it to eyes. Another one is the kabal of the branded flesh.

The kabal of the Stygian Oath.

Some others...

The kabal of the Sundered Soul.
The kabal of Black Anguish.
The kabal of A Thousand Blades.
The kabal of Shattered Hope.
The kadal of the Blooded Claw.

[quote==I= Wow I have a sick mind...

I'm still trying to settle on a name for my Kabal, I think it's between Curious Scalpel and Gloaming Star, if those give you any ideas.

Kabal of the Burning Flesh
Kabal of the Broken Bones
Kabal of the Bleeding Soul
Kabal of the Tormented Thoughts
Kabal of the Whispering Sorrow
Kabal of the Harrowed Void

Mine is The Kabal of the Withered Orchid

But really take any body part and do something horrible to it.

As I once suggested to someone else before: Ask a loved one what part of your body they like most, then find an encyclopedia of illnessess and pathologies.

Open to a random page and apply said condition to the aforementioned body part.

Some other ideas:

Kabal of The Sundered Heart
Kabal of The Shattered Soul
Kabal of The Smelly Feet
Kabal of The Unpleasant Circumstance
Kabal of The Bruised Pinky
Kabal of The Stubbed Toe

I really like the Kabal of The Bruised Pinky



You can make a decent Kabal, Cult or Coven by mixing and matching any of these:
Kabal of the/Cult of the
Sundered/Shattered/Broken/Bleeding/Harrowed/Tormented/Screaming/Raging/Blooded/Black/Dark/Sinister/Shattered/Wretched/Wicked/Cursed
Soul/Heart/Flesh/Eye/Hope/Hand/Blade/Rose/Knife

They aren't that difficult

One that hasn't been mentioned yet:
Kabal of the Tortured Flame (look em up, apparently some DE are pyromanics)
And the lesser known cousins kabals:
Kabal of the Best Korea
Kabal of the Worst Korea

I don't really have any suggestions but my kabal is the Kabal of Lost hope

The Kabal of the Space Emos!

........No?

Yes, as in stygian, aphotic, or crepuscular

Fair enough... i remember reading it in a poem i think but it just sounds so fake as a word...

Eh, to each his own. I like it cause its a fairly unused word; I don't want to be just another 'adjective for pain + body part' kabal.

I guessed that was why... though i do like the sound of "Kabal of the Stygian Void"...

'The Gloaming' is the first/last light when the sun has disappeared/before it rises.
I personally cant decide between Kinstrife or Perverse Fist.

...ew.

I like the sound of the Dark Oath most.

I've named mine The Kabal of The Shrieking sun, i'm loving some of these other suggestions tho lol

I just thought of another name: The Kabal of the Crimson Torrent. Any other ideas?
