Yay. That means I won't have to go sifting through topics! I intend to go through the Codex today. Of the top of my head, there are two or three Kabals that are completely destroyed. Should I add them under official GW ones or create their own column of destroyed Kabals?

Ideas:
-Add a Rivalry Column: Who hates who in Commorragh
-Create clearer tables (On that note, I don't know how to create clearer tables. Any advice would be appreciated.)

I can't remember the name of it right now, but wasn't there a kabal lead by Kruellagh The Vile in the 3rd ed book?

aside from that, if you don't mind me noting my own kabal:

the kabal of weeping sorrows, current archon: lead by a council, noted as still being around, but barely active.

I stopped by for just a minute. Kruellagh lead an elite unit of called the Emaculators in the Kabal of the Flayed Skull. Her rank is Archon, but Lord Vraesque is listed as the Archon in the 5th edition Codex. What happened to Kruellagh? I don't know. Maybe Vraesque killed her.

As to your Kabal, please PM me the info. I'll forget if I don't have a reminder.

I would add them to the official list and just put their status to destroyed.

That sounds quite interesting, indeed.

Ah, I though that she had her own Kabal, I do hope she's still around, she was one of my favourite characters in the old codex, I'll pm the info when I can.

These threads are exactly what this website needs. Beautiful lay out as well. Well done.

Could we add a Incbui Shrines as well? I don't think there is anything official, but one of my favourite aspects of the Dark Eldar army are the Incubi and I'd love to see a thread like the Kabals, Wynch and cults.

I look forward to adding my own entry soon.

P.S. If you need any body to do the leg work on writing up the background from white dwarf articles, or finding models etc just message me and we can split the work up.

That would be awesome. I only occasionally get a White Dwarf nowadays. After they hiked the price up to $9 a magazine and the continued downward spiral of actual good articles, I stopped getting the magazine.

Incubi shrines could be interesting, I do wonder however if there are any big difference between them, really. They are all Incubi ruled by a Hierarch, what differences ccould they have?

In Exile Posts : 1065 Join date : 2011-05-14

I personally don't see a difference between the incubi shrines. They're a dark eldar equivalents of the craftworld shrines.

Hellion Posts : 62 Join date : 2011-05-14

I'd imagine that the Incubi shrines are a lot more fractious and self serving than their craft world counter parts. It seems like a missed opportunity to label them simply as dark aspect warriors.

Playing devil's advocate here, you could say the same about the Kabal's, or the Covens, or the Cults: they are all warriors/ wracks / wynches led by an archon/ haemonculous/ Sybarite. What could possibly be the difference between them?

Granted there isn't that much in the way of official history, but i've seen a couple of blogs detail their shrines doctrines and fighting habits. I've included a little fluff in my own blog detailing where my shrine has come from, and I feel that a similar list here would be an asset.

However I do recognise that this is a 'niche market' because you can't field an army of them. I have a particular interest in the Shrine's, and so I would love to see them listed alongside the Kabal, Covens and Cults.

Alright, well everyone start PMing (PLEASE PM) their shrine names, their Hierarch and what Kabal(s) they associate with.

Hellion Posts : 62 Join date : 2011-05-14

No way! Thank you.

I just hope i'm right and there is a demand for it now, otherwise i'll be the only one posting there!

Thanks again man. I'll wing those articles to you this week.

No problem. If there is demand for it, I'm sure the mods will sticky it. Plus, seeing people work on their own fluff inspires others as well as myself (who is currently rewritting some large sections of the IX article I wrote).

Updated.

Would be possible to get page references for the Kabals from the Codex?

Once we all feel we have sufficient numbers of names I'll start working on a Name Generator Smile

In Exile Posts : 1065 Join date : 2011-05-14

Blargh... I don't think some of the page number references will fit into the tables. Not to mention, I don't wanna. If someone wants to do the footwork, I'll add it in and they'll get a special thanks in the post itself.

Kabal Of The Shattered Hand, Codex: Space Pups.

I don't have that Codex. Do they list an Archon?

Subject: Re: Kabal Discussion Tue May 24 2011, 17:53

No, just that they are a piratical Kabal and were ambushed by the Space Wolves. Leans on the side of the Kabal losing though it is unknown whether the Kabal was destroyed or not.

In Exile Posts : 1065 Join date : 2011-05-14

Well, it's up. I put them as active until a definitive answer is provided.

Gee, those lists are becoming numerous. Whats next? Mandrake clans? Laughing
