History of Rathnard, First Archon of the Raging Beasts
Of all the worlds and cities within the galaxy, none are so synonymous with deceit and betrayal as the city of Commorragh, the great refuge of the Dark Eldar. It is here in this dark city within the webway that it’s denizens vie with each other for power, whether it’s through politics, an assassins blade, or outright war. In Commorragh the weak have no right to rule, and those who show signs of it are quickly toppled from power.
Commorragh is divided up between many Kabals, each ruled by a Dark Eldar Lord. The Kabals constantly compete with one another for more territory, slaves, anything that would further consolidate their own power.
One such Kabal is the Kabal of the Raging Beast. Like many Kabals, it has gone through several periods under the sway of various Dark Eldar Lords, the most influential and infamous of them being Lord Rathnard.
Being a supreme diplomat and formidable warrior, Rathnard had been able to carve out an extensive empire within Commorragh, and his borders were well protected by his legions of warriors. Lord Rathnard thought himself almost invincible, and bragged that even the great Lord and Founder of Commorragh, Asdurabel Vect, could not hope to rival his armed forces. Naturally, with such arrogance comes enemies and the individual that would be Rathnards downfall came from a most unexpected quarter – his Prime Haemonculus Vorlak.
Vorlak was a very ambitious individual, and was always planning huge projects involving the creation of some improbably bizarre torture device, creative ways of subjugating entire hive worlds (usually involving ridiculous amounts of airborne hallucinogens or in one case, a titan-sized grotesque), or even converting an army of slaves into living bombs. But despite his requests, Rathnard was never willing to supply him with the obscene resources needed for these insane projects.
Eventually, Vorlak grew tired of these disappointments, and decided to take matters into his own hands. Gathering the support of like-minded haemonculi and sybarites Vorlak led the overthrow of Rathnards Kabal, slaying his incubi bodyguard and loyal warriors with a horde of the horrors created within his dungeons. With Rathnard firmly in the hands of his own haemonculi torturers, Vorlak reformed the remains of the Kabal. The horrific nature of his coup’ earned him the respect and fear of the Dracons and Sybarites formerly under Rathnard, and they quickly formed into line behind their new leader.
For a time Vorlak enjoyed a measure of success. The slave raids continued to provide a steady source of currency to maintain the Kabals position, although many of them were put to use in Vorlaks torture chambers, as he was finally able to begin realising his twisted dreams.
After being confined to the torture chambers, Rathnard was subjected to the worst torments imaginable as Vorlaks Haemonculi did their work. From head to toe, his body became covered in disfiguring scars yet he was not ready to give up. During his time in the torture chambers, Rathnard learnt everything he could about Vorlaks activities. He learnt that his vast projects and experiments had started taking a toll on the slave-taking. The Wych Cults had severed ties with the Kabal and the Kabalites were becoming less satisfied with their takings from each slave raid, as Vorlaks projects consumed ever-more resources. Even the amongst the Haemonculi, originally Vorlaks stanchest supporters, there was growing dissent as they were gradually taken away from their own work and pressed into service on Vorlaks projects.
Slowly, Rathnard garnered support amongst the dissenters. One by one, Sybarites, Dracons and eventually Haemonculi secretly pledged their support to him until fully one third of the Kabal was behind him.
Finally one night, a team of warriors infiltrated the torture chambers and released Rathnard. Taking his old Punisher from the Sybarite, Rathnard made his way up the Kabals central spire, slaughtering every Kabalite who crossed his path as he stalked down the corridors towards his target.
That same night Vorlak was alone in his personal quarters, going over his plans for his latest project. Suddenly there was a dull thud and his chamber doors blew open as a plasma grenade detonated. Through the smoke and haze, Vorlak saw a lone figure holding a Punisher. The creature had the frame and height of an Eldar, yet every part of its body was scarred, bloodied and burnt. The creature knelt down low and balanced the punisher in one hand behind its back, its face becoming visible as a twisted, hideous mask of pure malice.
In terror Vorlak drew his blade but the creature was two quick. Leaping forward, it parried the Vorlaks thrusting attack and drove it’s punisher into his abdomen, twisting it around and forcing the blade up around his heart, through the neck and finally splitting the head up the centre.
Vorlaks remains were placed on display in the Kabals central hall. Those Kabalites who had not yet pledged their allegiance to Rathnard quickly did so, although many were executed anyway for their lack of loyalty.
Rathnard is now never seen in anything less than full battle armour, his scared body forever covered and his face concealed by a mask fashioned not unlike the look Rathnard had given Vorlak the night he took back his Kabal. The slave raids have only increased, with the more and more slaves brought back with each foray into the material realm. The Wych Cults have re-established ties with the Kabal and its position has only strengthened
While there have been several attempts, Rathnard has never again come close to losing his position and under his leadership. The Kabal of the Raging Beast remains a force to be reckoned with both within and without the dark city of Commorragh.
History of Shade, Second Archon of the Raging Beasts
Shade, Dracon of the Kabal of the Raging Beast, stood by his Archon's side as the other Archons walked into the throne room. Today his "master" was making a alliance with the other 2 Kabals in the area. Unknown to the Archon was that Shade had secretly gone out and made a pact with the other Archons to take out his Archon.
The meeting was near its end when Shade said, "My Lord don't make a alliance with this weakling." He inclined his head towards Archonbjorn.
ArchonBjorn snaps his head in the direction of the arrogant little Dracon, standing up together with his dracon Cryx. "How do you dare to insult me." Bjorn looks at his Dracon which hands him over a punisher. And looks at Rathnard. "I demand a apologise in the form of his head on a stake. Rathnard nods and the two jump on the table. "Your insult will cost you dearly small Dracon."
It had begun. Shade lunged at Archonbjorn his punisher arching down in a strike at his midsection. Archonbjorn's Punisher meet Shade's in the middle of the table. They traded blows faster then a humans eye could respond to. The sparks from the two blades where seen all over the room as the two kept coming at each other. Shade leaped into the air and in mid jump arched him self so that his blade would get shoved right through Bjorn. Seconds before the blade reached him Bjorn jumped to the side and kicked Shade into the wall behind Rathnards throne. Shade stood up dusted himself off and walked to the side of his masters throne. He lifted his punisher and smashed the end without a blade into Rathnards chest. Smashing the Archon's inactive shadow field. Before the Archon could react the blade of the punisher was at the his neck.
"Sybarites take this Archon out of my site and bring him to the haemonculus." said Shade to the sybarites around the room. They got up and grabbed Rathnard and shoved him out of the room. Shade took his seat at the throne and bid Bjorn to sit down. "Prehaps, now we can settle that alliance."
History of D4rKn3sS, Third Archon of the Raging Beasts
The silent Incubi stood as their lord Scorn dued with the Archon Shade from the Raging Beasts. He foolishly after many dealings with the other Kabals challenged Scorn to combat, even forgetting to make the battle in his favour. The two Dracons -bill- and D4rKn3sS looked on as the two fought, Punisher to Punisher with uncanny speed. Faster then the human eye, but all the surrounding Dark Eldar looked on, eager for they had not seen a battle since the big mon-keigh attacked the Battle Fleet. Shade swung in an open stance, swiping at the shoulders of his lord, but Scorn simply side-stepped it. Bringing his Punisher down, taking him in the leg, Shade fell to the ground defeated. "Take this pathetic being down to my chamber. Urien will be pleased with his new specimen. And now the most powerful Kabal in Commoragh lays leader-less." D4rKn3sS stepped forward, grasping his blades. "Despite the odd circumstances, it seems you have done me a favour, Lord Scorn. Nor shall I forget it" When the circle disbanded, none seemed surprised. They all holstered their rifles, annoyed that no more bloodshed was happening, despite the orders from D4rKn3sS......
History of IncubiLord, Fourth Archon of the Raging Beasts
The throne room was as barren as usual.
Despite the long list of those who had sworn their loyalty to the Raging Beasts, few had been seen in recent times. It was an unfortunate state of affairs, and IncubiLord disapproved.
He didn’t like what had become of this Kabal since the disappearance of their former lord, Shade, and things were about to change.
Striding to his traditional position near the throne, the torturer paused as if to prepare himself to advise D4rKn3sS once more, but instead threw his cloak at –bill-, revealing the armor and modifications to his poisoned gauntlet which he had quietly built over the past weeks.
On cue, ArchonDragomyr took hold of Toad_Raider, pinning the Dracon with the impressive strength of a Grotesque. There would be no interference from that front.
“You should have left well enough alone, dear Archon. I was content to be a respected advisor, but you refused to acknowledge my glory. Now I am obligated to prove myself – lest I lose standing in the eyes of the other Kabals.”
As the Archon of the Raging Beasts stood, he felt weakness grip his limbs. There would be no fight, somehow he had been poisoned. IncubiLord’s agoniser hummed as sharp, energy-fielded fingers defaced the rune of the Kabal’s former master.
“Perhaps you will be more respectful after a stay in the dungeons. Dragomyr, take this lost soul to the cells and show him the joys of being one of your own…”
General Rulings
1. Haemonculi are able to select up to two Grotesques from the 40konline membership, while myself, Dracons and Sybarites may nominate warriors. Dracons may also nominate Sybarites. In any case, new members must be forwarded to me and should I grant approval, I will PM Ollieb to assign the new members title.
2. Generally, promotions/demotions will follow the rules outlaid in the Chain of Assension Thread. This means that if you can gather the required support, you may overthrow and take the place of any other Kabalite. This includes myself! Only the strong have the right to rule, and those too weak to defend themselves will be rightfully replaced by those willing to take it. As is our way.
3. While friendly banter is permitted (encouraged, even ;))Try to keep personal criticisms to a minimum. If you don't like the guy ranked above you, then gather support to get yourself promoted to his position. There is no need to publically attack other members. I will not tolerate disunity within this Kabal, and repeat offenders may find themselves demoted or possibly expelled (see below).
4. Just as I do not tolerate disunity within this Kabal, I also do not tolerate actively abusing those of other Kabals. While the other Kabals are not exactly trusted allies, we do not consider them enemies either.
The Kabals of this forum work together when it benefits our own aims, and encouraging tension between any kabals undermines efforts that would be of help to us.
Remember that you are representing not just yourself, but this Kabal as well. Thus, poor behavior towards other Kabals reflects poorly on al of us.
...That said, friendly banter is once again encouraged. :D
5. While members are not required to contribute to the Kabal, be aware that if you do not at least contribute something on occasion (ie. anything from an article to an idea or at least a comment on a Kabal-related issue), you may find yourself demoted or possibly removed from the Kabal. This mostly applies to the ranks above warrior, and you will get a warning.
6. RAGE!!!, while potentially hazardous, is encouraged when directed towards a worthy cause. ;)
7. In this thread while the RAGE!!! may tempt you to post stuf such as THE RAGE or I WANT TO KILL SOMETHING you can't do this or it will be reported to the mods and any more attempts at it will be taken as spam and you will be demoted.
POOR BEHAVIOUR
Be aware that abuse and personal attacks between members of this Kabal or any other will not be tolerated.Be aware that while this may be a Dark Eldar forum, you must still heed the forum rules and play nice. If you want to roleplay, then by all means do so but make sure people are aware that you aren't being serious, either by adding some kind of [rpg] tag or including plenty of winks ( ;)), etc.
You get one warning about poor behaviour. If I have to warn you a second time then you get demoted to warrior or grotesque (whichever I feel like at the time). If the behaviour continues, you are expelled from the Kabal.
Slave Count for the Kabal of the Raging Beast
371
Post your slave takings here after each game with the Dark Eldar (as per codex rules), and I will add it to our total.

Link to past thread: Archive Kabal Thread (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=114924.0)
-
Hooray, a shiny new Kabal thread!
Now you have to write a piece about coming to power D4rKn3sS.
Oh, so the post is less like spam and slightly constructive... how goes the Kabal Battle? Do we need to repost moves? Are our opponents ready yet?
*EDIT*
My little "jingle" has disappeared as per your instructions Ollieb.
-
I get to play rather regularly now on Thursdays. The last two games I have played have netted the following slaves:
Both vs Marines.
There were 9 slaves sent to the arena/pens in the first report (including a Chaplain), and 10 slaves taken in the second.
*EDIT*, tonights game netted 13 IG slaves. My highest total so far, and I am getting better at remembering to roll for slaves.
So 32 in 3 weeks, not bad at all.
-
Nice, very nice. Well I played a game today, against Tau and Black Templars. My ally (Space Marines) did nothing all game, my Incubi killed everything. In all I captured 7 Fire Warriors
EDIT: And today i captured:
1 Ultramarines Sergeant
2 Ultramarines Assault Marines
1 Biel-Tan Ranger
5 Harlequins
Man, slave snares over harlequins ;D
-
Ok, I had a game vs Nurgle, sadly I did not capture much as I slaughtered them, but I did happen to capture 3 filthy mutated marines before we called it.
So RAAAGE, where is everyone?
-
Honastly I have no idea, nobody has posted for ages. Maybe they all have lives or something.......... .............okay maybe not
-
I was wondering what to do for my 800th post and this is by far the best place to do it.
Well I'll be honest and state that I'm painting some forgeworld stuff and waitng for the Dark Angels codex. Not that impressed with the new models so far, the ones I've got and converted from the Templar sprues look just as good if not better. Just bought White Dwarf, read it and in a few minutes I'm going to take a photo and srtick it on e-bay as it was a waste of £4
At my club they won't play my DE beacause they got fed up of losing. Now I have to wait for a new army or a new member before the girls can come out to play. last time out was for the whipping of the new eldar and tearing new asses on the "incredible cc monsters" (their quote) harlequins.
And then a poor new lad walked in wth a chaos army -the pink ones, can't remember the name. Claimed that he'd played DE before and they were pussies -wasn't there another army he could play against - with an attitude like that - nope. Poor soul.
Everyone did congratulate him on surviving to the end of turn 4 but they did remind him that he'd been warned - we're so generous in supporting newbies.
Here's some DA stuff (apologies in advance)

RAAAGE, where is everyone?
[Ben Stein monotone]I feel the rage, really.[/Ben Stein monotone]
To be honest, it seems that the Kabal battle system has finally breathed its last with the removal of Shade from the game. Other than that, most my posts go into threads that are intended for everybody.
Isn't the Archon supposed to find ways to make the Kabal thread active? :P
That, and I'm suffering a shortage of opponents of late - no slaving worth mentioning. Oh well, there'll be more to kill soon enough - and maybe I'll break out a Fantasy army for the summer campaign.
-
I have a doubles tourney soon, and I have been focusing on that. Your ally has to fill the same force org as you, both have to take 1hq and 2 troops. My ally is IG, but I think the plan is to go troop heavy, him 2, me 4, and 3 Haemmies with 1 squad of wyches and warp beast for counter attack. Shooty style :) Might play with it and put in mandrakes too.
-

IF both Kabals get gear and deployments I will still be gm of the game.
-
Please welcome IOK a new Warrior in our Kabal. Make him welcome and also we need to figure out gear because frankly I've lost the message. IncubiLord could you pm me it again?
-
I updated the FAQ thread in the project section. Please give some feedback when you have time in between RAGES!!
Welcome IOK, may your stay be brutal and torturous, oh wait nevermind thats me.
-
JEster here just checking in to let you all know I am active.
-
Isn't the Archon supposed to find ways to make the Kabal thread active? :P
I'm not sure that it's purely the Archon's role. In fact we're pretty active as a kabal considering that no-ones posted in Blooded Claw since last september and Gore since the beginning of January.
I think we all got spoiled when Hao li was here posting every two minutes.
-

Sad, but true. The Kabal threads are almost a waste of space when they get used less than once a month.
I think we all got spoiled when Hao li was here posting every two minutes.
HA!
If Hao Li was spoiling the DE forums, I'm happy without that pampering. The guy had a serious mean streak for somebody who's supposed to want our company, and not in the "look how in-character it is to pluck out your eye" sort of way, either.
Still, a mild trouble-maker is entertaining at times. They keep things interesting.
Speaking of which, where's the new meat? ;)
Come out of the shadows and talk to us IOK, we won't hurt you... - much. ;D
-
Hey guys. I need to know who is active and who isnt at the moment. So could everybody who is active please pm me, so I can get an idea of who is doing what.
And lastly, IOK ignore IncubiLord (we all do) he is just a bit twitchy
-
Twitchy?
I'm totally paranoid! 8)
Oh, and do kindly ignore me. It's much harder to stab somebody in the back while they watch. Now if only I could decide which Dracon deserves it most... ;D
PM sent within the last week. Recent enough?
Hehe, I just found a fledgling gaming group that's never SEEN the Dark Eldar. They don't meet often, but I'm going to introduce them to Combat Drugs and Agonisers. What fun...
-
Hey guys!
In my country DE are not allowed to roam freely! Neither killing at will (yet).
So I have to hide as a decent Corporate member of human which keeps me rather busy.
Yesterday, though, I had my first 2 prisoners. 2 Cadian officers.
I had an unofficial game with a friend of mine which plays Cadian. I had a Bunker which I had to 'Keep at all cost'.
I deployed a Raider Unit within the Banker (not the Raider of course). Now my enemy had about six to seven units comming (and a Dreadnugth) inwards from all table edges. I had the 2 Raiders, and an HQ (DE Lord with 6 Incubi) and a 5 Reaver Jetbike squad.
Few units to push back the many units of my enemy. I felt like a 'tennis' player who is bombarded with balls from all sides. I managed though to slaughter almost all of his units.
My first raider entering as reserve, tank-shocked a unit, disembarked the HQ which anihhilated another one.
On the next turn the HQ had embarked and shooted another unit while on their way to assault the HQ of my enemy.
The troops in my bunker also worked OK. Shooting and pinning (with Terrofex) killed pushed back another unit. My RJs totally anihhilated the Dreadnaught, but did not survived the 2 flamer attacks of the HQ. But they actually did their job well.
The other Raider (my Troops transport) choice was just pumping to and from a unit gathering prisoners and giving wounds. While its Disintegrator was firing all the time.
It was a 'defense' mission and I thought that I would not survive, but I actually slaughtered most of my enemy's units.
I'm new to the game, and DE. But on every 'defensive' mission I have played only one rule works. -attack- attack - attack. The best defense for DE is attack.
Well, that made me very happy. I was smiling all day, but nobody saw it through my Warrior helmet

There's only one solution to this:
You must gather the other hidden agents within that mon-keigh territory and pull a coup. Once all the political leaders are dead, you can go back to roaming freely and killing on a whim. ;)
Yesterday, though, I had my first 2 prisoners. 2 Cadian officers.
Ah, Guardsmen. Plenty of slaves there, even if they are pretty fragile...
My first raider entering as reserve, tank-shocked a unit, disembarked the HQ which anihhilated another one.
I hope you bought Torture Amps if you were Tank-Shocking with a Raider. (It's not a tank, and can't do that without the fancy toys)
It was a 'defense' mission and I thought that I would not survive, but I actually slaughtered most of my enemy's units.
Check out that little Piratical Raiders rule in the Dark box on page 4 of the 'dex - you shouldn't have been defending a bunker...
Well, that made me very happy. I was smiling all day, but nobody saw it through my Warrior helmet
Such is the price of armor. Better that none see you smile than being shot in the head.
EDIT: Look at my craptastic pictures!
I demand that you all look at my interactive map that took waaay longer to make than it should have.
...
On second thought, don't look.
If anybody's looking for a campaign to play in, though, I'm in a group looking to start one after the end of the Rorian campaign. A few DE players to do evil things and respond to my characters (fancy that, a DE player is their rep and narrative creator) could be interesting.
http://freewebs.com/warmallet41k/T7Map.htm
-
You mean so I can literally carry the DE flag alone? I have 2 missions to report that are vs Nurgle. Figured it would not help the overall Rorian campaign, but it would be good for the DE.
I think their is one other report besides mine, but its lonely reaping the civilian slaves and stuff.
I will look into playing the new one as well.
-
Unfortunately, my gaming collapsed around the start of the Rorian campaign. I will have at least a couple opponents starting up soon, so you won't be alone, Dragomyr. Plus, I'll try to draw in a few of the others who liked Medusa and Rorian.
Oh, and Kwi has some reports that just haven't gotten in yet. It'll end up a massive raid near the end of that campaign, now...
No worries, though - I helped design the scoring system, and it treats the factions fairly despite the number of players in each.
-
Heh, rounded up a good group of slaves that last mission in Rorian. I want to post my 1k doubles army, but I'd rather just post it here than for everyone to see.

Here is my 1k doubles army. You have 1k to spend, you have to take 1 HQ and 2 troops, while both armies fitting into one Force Org chart. My partner is infantry guard, mostly shooty guard with lascannons and other special weapons. 3 of his squads can infiltrate. Close order drills, and they are the souless guard. We have no armor. I am planning on writing a fluff piece for the tournie.
I have played this army several times, and I am 3-0 with the army, I might have to tweak it a bit, but for the most part I am happy with it. I don't want my list to be a topic for the forum, but figured we could throw around ideas, and cut the fat. I use the warp beast and wyches as counter assault, or to cut off anything that gets close. The Haemmies support my squads, and blow away large concentrations of troops with those deadly flamers and the other haemmie killed a Chaos leautinent by himself, but I think that was mostly luck.
Let me know what you think.
1000 Pts - Dark Eldar Army
Unit Name
Haemmie Coven (140)
Haemonculi #1 Destructor; Scissorhand, Hellion Skyboard
Haemonculi #2 Destructor; Scissorhand
Haemonculi #3 Scissorhand; Stinger
3X (12) Warriors 2 DL's each per squad, and 2 squads have a blaster thrown in (358)
(18) Warriors (193) SCX2 Blaster X2 Syb w/ PB, SP
(8)Wyches (144) WW, Blaster X2, Succubus w/ AG, SP, WW and PG
(5) Warp Beasts Pack (75)
(6) Mandrakes (90)
Total Army Cost: 1000 Models in Army: 78
-
My first reaction is to say that I don't see much use in the blasters with the Snipers. As such, I'd drop them in favor of giving the last Haemie a Destructor instead of the Stinger.
-
I only have 1 Haemmies on foot that have the Destructor modeled. My others went on a bike and the skyboard. That is the only reason I did that. Besides it is different.
I killed a demon prince with a blaster in the sniper group, but that is the first spot I would take points from.
This army is not my usual cup of tea for sure, but it seems to work. From what I've seen registered, their is a large amount of T3 opponents though. I would love to see my partner take other weapons besides missle launchers, he has like 4 of them, but with both of our shooty armies we have around 150ish models. I have 3 assault elements as well, Wyches, Mandrakes, and Warp beast. Not to mention warriors are pretty good as well for the points.
The thing that I'm not sure of what to do, is the Large warrior squad, it gets blown up everygame without getting much back, but it soaks up like 2 turns of shooting for us. Our goal was to have tons of models, so that is why it is there. I have 4 troops, my partner only took 2.
-
Doubles tourney tommorrow, wish me luck.
Also, got 8 Nid slaves last night, one Warrior, some termagents, and hormaguants. All taken by...One warp beast pack Huzzah!
-
Good luck, and don't forget to report those for the campaign.
I'm getting lonely as the only DE player. :'(
-
I will work on the 5 battle scenarios and writing for the campaign.
5 games over 2 days we went 4-0-1, and won best overall. So my first tourney win, and a big win with so many armies their. 14 doubles teams, so 28 players. We won by 3 points, fairly good painting, good sportsmanship, and our mostly solid victories pulled it out. A nice chunk of store credit and trophies for us, as well as some free swag. It was hard to adjust tactics as my first day partner had a business trip, but his brother filled in admirally. I hope they can share a trophy and the credit.
-

Great. That gives you reports for this week and most of the next.
5 games over 2 days we went 4-0-1, and won best overall.
Not a bad showing, Dragomyr.
I assume it was the weak creatures you were handicapped with that made for that loss. ;)

Mmmkay ive waited a while and the following people are active:
Me (duh)

And thats about it. If you are still active either post here or PM me saying so.
Also everyone welcome our new Warrior "Raider101"
-
Welcome Raider101, welcome, welcome! 8)
-
I haven't posted here for a while, but I haven't had much reason to. I am however still quite active on the rest of the DE board.
Erm, CAN YOU FEEEEEEL THE RAAAAGEEEAHHH, or something.
-
hey all, im looking forward to adding some slaves to the dugeons of our hermonculi. can someone tell me how I can get our kabal tag into my profile?
once I get my first 500 pts of DE put together i'm gonna start playing every thursday at my local store. there are usually about 15-20 players there every thursday and the people play a surprisingly large mosaic of different races. I can say with confidence that every major race in the game is usually present during thursday games. except DE, im the first and only DE player in my city! :o
me and my buddy are planning on challenging the store owner and his friend to a partners game for my first DE game. it will be a 500 pt game. my ally plays Dark angels and has 2000pts worth of models. so he can basically field anything he wants. the store owner plays tyranids and fields almost all monstrous creatures, he always uses hive tyrants armed to teeth, lots of tyranid warriors, carnifex's like mad, he fields as many as he can. im not sure what exactly he will get in a smaller game, but I would imagine he will be using lots of monstrous creatures with few troop choices. I don't really know anything about Tyranids, so if you guys can tell me what a good tyranid player would be able to throw at me, it would help. the store owner's ally plays eldar with lots of walkers and jetbikes. he also has some snipers, warp spiders, swooping hawks and some nasty farseers. he has 1 squad of dire avengers which im told I should be very, very afraid of now that they have been retooled in the new codex. im not worried about neutralizing the eldar threat, I used to beat eldar all the time when i played space marines.
here's the army list that I will be fielding for the 500pt game (this is rough because i dont have my list or codex with me):
dracon with: punisher, helm, shadow field, plasma. (I may have given him something else, im not sure right now)
10 man sniper squad with 2 DL's
20 man warrior squad with sybarite armed with agoniser. 2 warriors carry splinter cannons.
1 ravager with 2 dissies and 1 DL.
my dracon is built for HtH combat. the sniper squad should help me with any tanks they throw at me and they should be able to deal with tyranid monstrous creatures. the 20-man warrior squad should be able to perform several roles depending on my opponents and the situation. if im ever fighting against imp guard or tau they could be used in close combat, but against these tyranids im hoping he takes lots of troops so my splinter cannons can tear him a new asss. i wanted to take three dissies with the ravager, but i ran out of points. the ravager should be able to deal with tac. marines and if i really need to use it against tanks its versatile enough to take down any tanks they bring at me. my army list comes out to 507pts
any suggestions or recomendations are welcome. I want to beat this guy because he runs his mouth about how useless the DE are and all that nonesense.
telling me what a tyranid player generally uses in a 500 pt game will help.
im glad to be a part of kabal. I intend to climb the ladder :)
-
The loss was actually a 12 to 12 draw, but by victory points it was a win for them technically, by 30 points. But, we got 12 points plus sportsmanship to win the overall :)
The reason we "lost" was because it was Cleanse II mission and a huge squad of nurgle hid the whole game behind a huge stand of trees. They finished off some mandrakes that were holding the cover, a judge said that because the drakes were in cover with them I would not get cover saves pfft whatever, so I had to assault them. I killed 2, but lost 3 and I held, but I was below scoring. So they held that corner uncontested. Bad fleet of foot rolls is what made the difference, 2 Inches short for a Warrior squad.
However 2 lascannons failed to wound marines that would have dropped them below half, and they would not have held their own quarter. The marines broke, and hid behind cover when they auto rallied. So could not be shot at again.
The IG helped out a good bit being able to drop troop in at times. The demo squad died every game without doing anything. Had they landed the demo on those nurgle it would have been a different game.
So you could say the weak IG cost us the win, but it was a draw for game purposes.
The tourney was awesome, and my mandrakes were so uber it was unreal. 7 mandrakes killed their points every game, and got 2 points in one game for killing a squad and then getting into the deployment zone. Our opponents chose not to shoot them up because of them being our hunter squad. So we lost 150 VP's for them, but +2 game points and we pulled out a minor win based on my cunning. Besides they were in 4+ cover, so 2+ invulnerable save baby!
Best moment for the mandrakes was turn one in the last game they killed some scouts who ran off the board, then they were assaulted by a Demon Prince of Nurgle with a Manreaper. I put 2 wounds on him and he promptly failed both saves, and he killed 3. We broke, but rallied and he died to DL fire the next round. So that squad of nurgle who was behind him decided to hide on us ><.
Worst moment... wyches used 2 blasters, which I won't ever take again, for the only time in the tourney. They vaporize a Nurgle Rhino which leaves them wide open to heavy bolter fire from one of the dozens of a devastator squads that we faced in the tourney. Literally not one Marine army did not have 3 of them except one, who did a librarian with fear of the darkness coupled with Zoey Nid negative leadership thing. Best general was a Marine/Eldar army with 3 Dev squads with 4 Missle launchers each, and 2 5 man tac squads with Missle Launchers, thankfully we did not face them, as they got horrid sportsmanship. That team lost a game by the slimest margin as they failed to kill off the hunted squad totally, they killed a huge wraithguard squad but left the seer, after that they dubbed themselves team dumb. I told them dumb meant mute, so I expected not to hear from them from that point on.
All good though, great games for the most part, met some new folks and got some cool swag including...Warrior coven book.
Also, welcome Raider101, here drink this...
-
ill pass on the drink. what is 'the warrior coven' book? is that a dark eldar fluff book? if so that would be sweet because IMO the DE do not have enough fluff.
-
It's a DE book in that the author uses the words Dark Eldar and portrays his villains as such, but it reads more like Crone World Eldar - from what I understand. I put little value in BL books.
Welcome to the party. Which Sybarite are you couping? ;)
As for your Tyranid question:
A flying Hive Tyrant (of Doom) and a shooty Carnifex can run just over 400 points. If you're using a standard FOC and your opponent loves his MCs, it could be that and two broods of Rippers.
-
Flood NZ is my Sybarite, havent seen him around yet so maybe hes scared of his new warrior ;).
well, since those DE books arent very good, is there any other official fluff I can get my hands on other then whats in the codex? it strikes me as odd that the DE don't have more fluff considering that the fluff our army does have is easily some of the best in the game IMO.
hmmm, if he gets the hive tyrant and carny, then i should probably swap my splinter cannons for DL's in my second warrior squad.
-
The DE have very little fluff. Our army came out in a time where GW tried being silly and releasing pretty much no fluff on anything.
The Torturer's Tale from the GW website is, however, considered required reading. Taking a look at the sections of the Eldar Codex regarding the Fall and the Striking Scorpions/SS Phoenix Lord is also not a bad idea for readily-available info on our race's history and the mysterious background of the Incubi and their assumed founder - Arhra.
-
Warrior Coven is a book about the Deathwatch and Ulthwe. They are against Lelith Hesperax and there is some cool fight scenes in it, including when Lelith comes into power. If you want advice against Tyranids go into the Dark Eldar section of Articles and read my Tactica Article. (not advertising or anything of course ;D)
-
That horrible book was avenged by Lelith in the 1500 RTT tourney. The Wych Cult won Best General, losing out by 3 points for best overall to a club mate of mine.
Bad soft scores on sportsmanship on which I normally average 8/10 did me in. The GW employee that judged appearance could not pick out Lelith who is one the Largest Fig and has a ornate base and tons of color with stark black hair so that was 2 points for that. I got a 2 and 4 in sportsmanship by younger adult players who both received first turn Lelith charges. Both Marine players and I have to say not very sporting arguing a bit over easy rules. One was Lelith's retinue got blasted, leaving Lelith alone, so she is an IC. He yelled for over a minute that she had to take a leadership or fall back. I said no she is an IC, and the shooting did not effect her at all, so she was fine. The judge said I was right, and we showed him in the BGB. He was the #1 in points up to that point and I won 21 to -1, so he refused to give me sportsmanship at all, but he gave me a 4 after his friend who watched the game and the judge told him. He also was not as mad losing to the winner of last weeks tourney. But, he did not win anything due to the game. I liked his army, but I have 7 Dissies and 6 DL's and 6 Blasters, so Marines = dead, not to mention 5 agonizers running around.
3-0 in the tourney, Incubilord let me know if you want some quick write ups.
-
dragomyr it seems that you have been a victim of racism. your opponents are racist against Dark Eldar. it's because we are better then them. I deal with the same kind of thing at my store.
DARK ELDAR POWER!!!
-
Add another 7 Imperial Guard slaves from Monday night's 2500 point game. There might have been more if he hadn't resigned at the end of Turn 3.
It didn't help when I got first turn and blew up both his tanks, three sentinels, and made a lascannon squad fail morale and run - I only fired 12 dark lances and a splinter rifle.
Used torture amps for the first time - quite good fun and as they tend to split units, any heavy weapon can't fire as the unit has to get back into coherency at the start of their movement phase.
We couldn't see any rules that I had to shoot the unit I'd tankshocked so I used the horrorfex to pin another heavy weapons squad. He was not a happy bunny.
-
Hey!
How's that for an avatar?
-
Better than the eye catching ugly photoshop wench you had before :)
I have 17 slaves from 3 games to report in. Mostly Eldar, and a few Marines.
-
Okay guys, we have officially hit the 200 SLAVE MARK!!!! WOOT!!!!
Anyway. Doesn't seem like many of us are active at the moment. Could everyone start posting stuff again. Even if just a bit of advice for a Dark Eldar player.
-
Well, I have a battle for tonight, against Space Marines. It's part of a campaign
I'll see what I can get as prisoners!
Wish me luck!
Costas
-
Played 2k Tau to test out my new portal army. I decided to give a foot Archon w/ punisher and an Animus Vitae a try along with a Dracite w/ retinue because 2 agonizers rock.
I won easily, and the Archon took 7 slaves himself, that is 35 VP's alone. Hit on 3's wound on 2's rocks! I took 19 slaves total, it was a really fun game and my opponent learned about Tau a bit more, his new army. It was my first game versus Tau, so I learned a bit myself.
So overall I took 19 slaves, woot!
-
Well, I have a battle for tonight, against Space Marines. It's part of a campaign
Not part of my campaign, though...
< shakes scissorhand menacingly >
Meanwhile, I've decided to try out another army variation, but I'm keeping it secret until I've gotten the games in - just in case they're spying on me.
< glances about in a paranoid manner >
I'll be writing something up about it in a few weeks.
Until then, enjoy the debate on whether deployment actually happens. ;)
-
Pfft, that guy is so off its not even funny. I mean quoting rules and saying this could mean this is one thing, he is actually making up rulings and using the oldest codex to make his point. His main backup is that is the way his group plays it. If that were a good way to determine things then I tell you that my group told me I could move 9" per turn instead of 6" because DE are fast. The term "house rule" is around for this reason.
We have plainly described the rules, pointed out our interpretations, and backed it up with our views and tournament judges as well. We have acknowledge the other camp and nod in its general direction while lobbing grenades and digging our trenches.
I tried a few new list, and the only thing I can say, is don't out Grotes in the Webway. It never seems to work for me, silly character comes in on his own, or is too busy to make it to the game right away.
-
Even if we all consider his stance completely off-base, you may eventually have to argue against it in your gaming career. If you won the argument years ago, there's no reason to worry when it comes up.
The true test is convincing the opposed viewpoint that you're right. Until then, you're just comparing opinions.
As for Grotes from the Webway:
< tries to look innocent >
I'd take extra Haemies if I were running Grotes out of the Webway... ;)
I've passingly considered using swarms of Wyches and Warp Beasts against an Ork army for laughs, too.
I've actually used Talos again lately, and have found them quite entertaining against IG opponents. Grey Knights don't like fighting Talos in CC, either...
-
I ran 2 Talos out of a portal, they still are rather slow for my taste. I think I will do 2 Ravagers, and depending on points a Talos for my 2k tournament in a few months.
-
Conducted a slave raid agains Imperial Guard the other day and managed to gather 12.
-
12 Guardsmen seems a bit on the low side. My last game against the IG was something like 18 Guardsmen and a Grey Knight Termie.
What sort of game did you play?
-
The slave raid scenario from our codex. I lost a couple because the first round of combat I forgot about it. :P
My list was also not particularly geared around close combat. I had a squad of grotesques and some haemis as the main cc threat, but one raider squad joined in as well.
The game was 1500 points and he didn't have as many models as some guard armies might have.
I also lost an opportunity to get slaves when warriors killed all BTB models losing the chance to enslave the rest of the fleeing squad.
-
That explains it.
I lost a couple because the first round of combat I forgot about it. :P
Don't we all do that at times?
Slaves never seem to matter for anything other than idle amusement.
-
5 Slaves last night vs Lamentor Marines. It is a point now with an Animus Vitae to get some slaves. That is 5 points per for the lord who got 4 himself.
I got a tie, but that was a good result after the awful first turn I had, it was cleanse, with last turn night fight. One portal squad broke, and the other was a Raider squad hiding behind cover. They moved to a good spot and he snuck a plasma or two at them with assault marines :(
Fear of the Darkness and 3 Venerable Dreads suxxors. I blew one up and put away my vehicle dice then said something and he goes, re-roll that pen, got a weapon destroyed instead sigh. In the end he had one marine and all 3 dreads, I had one warrior squad above half, some wyches at half :), Ravager holding its own zone. The Lord in combat with the shooty dread kept shaking it, darn Venerables :(
Another Draw Saturday for Eldar. He castled with an Avatar in a city fight, my talos died in one round to Scorpions without doing anything in return, bad rolls :(
I did win a small few vp's to eek out a slight points edge in the draw though. But, I took 16 Slaves! Lord took out 6 himself.
-
Got a "Solid Victory" against allied IG and Tyranids last night, myself.
I played a 1500 pseudo-Coven, and nearly had a disastrously-early end when I decided to send my counter-charge Archon on Jetbike off to fight instead of taking on the Hormagaunts who charged one of my two Warrior squads. Those guants had insane-o-luck and chewed through the Warriors and my WWP Haemie, even breaking the other Warrior squad (but not before I got a portal set up).
Guard are easy to enslave, so I won't brag about my count. ;)
It was good fun to watch a Destructor eat 6 Guarsmen from 2 heavy weapons squads, though. Mmm, Destructors against light armor.... ;D
-
March 31st -looks like I'm defending last years second place finish at the London 40k tournament (see signature panel)
I won't be posting my 1500 points army as they'll all be looking for it, hmm perhaps I should post a dummy - all warriors, hellions and no dark lances
-
Forget defending your second place finish, assail the other guy's first place finish.
-
Gwahir's got it - go big and nasty.
Good luck, and I suggest using:
Grotesques withno IC, Hellions with a Shredder, and Scourges with Lances.
- At least, for the decoy list, that is... ;)
1500 is the tipping point for portals, though. Do they actually use terrain over there, or are you stuck on near-empty tables?
-
Last years list was tooled archon, 4 dl squads (2 with wwp) and drachite + 3 wytch squads and a couple of taloi. Adequate terrain but every army was different.
-
I just won my first game with DE last night. although I didn't take any slaves, I broke my DE losing streak of 6 (maybe 7) games. I finally think I might be getting the hang of DE a little better. I can give a bat. rep. if you guys want to hear about it.
in other news, I have begun to model an entire piece of commoragh on my gaming table so I can play city fight Dark Eldar style :).
cheers.
-
Sure we'd like to see it.
Post up a link.
In other news today, there's a thread in the Projects area where we're gathering DE references for the fanatics.
-
I faced my old Nemesis Eldar this weekend. 1k points and I won in a loot counter mission. 5 slaves.
I was proud to leave him 2 fire dragons, a farseer and a Falcon that just would not die! I wish our skimmers had similar technology, but I would not pay 200+ points for a transport without it.
How do you deal with Eldar skimmers? Wych squads while effective, die very quickly in return.
-
To be honest, I haven't faced skimmer-heavy Eldar in a long, long time. I can usually focus enough blasters/lances on a Falcon or two to take it/them down, though.
If anybody has (and can find) WD 229 and/or WD 230, please add some info to the DE Index over in the Projects section. My copies are missing.
-
Well I went to the tourney, getting up at 6 in the morning is not good for my old bones. 1500 points - my list
Archon - Ag/SP/Grue/SF/CD/Av/PG/TR (and that gruesome came in v useful)
155
Dracite - ag/Sp/CD/TR/Archangel/PG
103
2x10 warriors, 2 DL +syb with wwp
2 x 164
2 x 10 warriors, 2DL
2x100
2 x 6 wytches, ww, pg,blaster, succ/ag + Raider/Horr one with T Amp and 1 with snares
201 & 206
1x 5 wytches, ww, pg, haywire, blaster, succ/ag + Raider/Horr
206
1 x Talos
100
Some tough games with very little terrain but we gave cover saves within 3" of barricades etc.
lesson there - DE need cover so agree some before the game starts - don't complain when you've lost.
First against Guard - Loads of passed pinning tests got the portals open and he resigned at the start of turn 5 if I remember correctly. I got 1500 forhis army; I'd lost 232 points and taken 12 slaves
Second game against Chaos (Tzench?) - He had 2 defilers and no other vehicles so he was going to plod towards me. I put one ww in the centre opposite his lord and troops and the other on the right flank. The centre one I opened in turn 1 and sent 3 raiders full of wytches and lords at him when they all rolled over 4 on turn 2 - massacre.
2 obliterators were plodding forward instead of hanging back so DL's took them straight out with instant kills.
That game ended in turn 4 , 1500 points again and I'd lost 255 and got 9 Chaos slaves (not all Chaos are fearless).
Now top scorer had to play the second place so I had to play Luis 's Harlequins (40k tag Oink) - now I think this guy wrote the BGB and the codex's ; there is nothing he doesn't know about 40k and even I learned a few new takes on the rules.
For example he said and we all agreed that you can massacre in any turn of combat not just the first. This meant he got a D6 move instead of 3 inches. He needed 3 inches to get back into combat and protect his squad from massed dark lances. he rolled 1.
Generally we can own harlies because we match their speed and initiative. In fact I'd say my 2 lords 12" assault ,made the win as it stops the harlie counter assault moves. Our initiative is better than theirs as oping as you don't let them charge you - and I didn't. Result after 6 turns I'd lost about 550 and he'd got about 250 left plus I took 10 slaves - (bit vague here as I gave him my list after the game and I'd written the scores on the back).
So I have a new signature banner - I think Luis (Oink) may redo it with some dripping blood to reflect our kabal.

- is long overdue for review.
I'll be going over the old thread to ensure I didn't miss any name changes, but some of these guys haven't posted in months. Demotion to Warrior-status of members who have simply disappeared is to be expected.
Individuals with a good excuse (like Rathnard) will be allowed to keep their position, but don't expect to stay above the Warriors if you haven't posted in the DE areas for over a month. Particularly long periods of inactivity may result in Grote-status or exile from the Kabal.
Some slots might be opening up because of this, and because I have to demote Toad_Raider after I couped him (nothing personal TR, you were just in the way...), as well as my own former slot.
Oh, and -bill-...
...
Congratulations on the tourney. ;D
-
Well done, even Shade never managed 2 at a time.
-
Well I'm not going to be a sore loser.............. ............maybe
Anyway nice. All the stuff is your problem now.
-
even Shade never managed 2 at a time.
I don't think he considered it - Shade was the type to try a double-coup if he had half a chance...
All the stuff is your problem now.
Well, there is that... :-\
Sometimes being in charge can be a lot of work.
I doubt you'll remain a Grote too long, though, D4rKn3sS. You're active enough to claw your way back up a rank or two before it becomes competing for one of the rarer slots.
-
I'm so UGLY! NOOOOooooooo....
But otherwise fantastic! I always get a kick out of the way our chain of command works. Far more fun than those other's, methinks. Even if it does result in my demise from power...
I have to demote Toad_Raider after I couped him (nothing personal TR, you were just in the way...), as well as my own former slot.
Oh, no offense taken. Solidifying your position and all that wot wot?
Definitely agree that the Kabal List should be updated. If I were you, i would take an even harder line and streamline the Kabal to a greater degree (Demotion to Warrior at a minimum, I say!)
What else can I say but congratulations - it's a gutsy thing to pull a simultaneous 2 person coup d'état. Of course, now the precedent has been set your own position is twice as dangerous...

Old Members who still have a title but haven’t been on the charts for some time:
Haemonculus: Ra' Araiq-Horak (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=15934)
Sybarite: Abuk (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=17847)
Warrior: Blood Archon (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=3200)
First off, the members of the Kabal who hold higher ranks but haven't checked in for quite a while are up for demotion:
Ra' Araiq-Horak and Abuk are hereby Grotes - their long absence deserves a punishment.
Jubal (TheJester) and Flood NZ are demoted to Warriors for their long absence from the Kabal as well.
Next, it would be poor form to not promote those who've supported me most within the Kabal:
ArchonDragomyr will take my position as a Haemonculus and Gwahir will fill the slot of the second Dracon.
Finally, those who fell so that I may rise are still some good members of this Kabal:
Toad_Raider and D4rKn3sS will both now be Sybarites.
That makes the current standings:

EDIT: Revised for current standings and pretty-fied.
-
I am honored by the promotion my lord and will do my best to serve.
-
Heh, I just love how traitorous this Kabal has become. How many coups has it been now? ;D
-
Well this is our fourth archon.
-
How many coups has it been now? ;D
Four - Shade's two and my two-at-once. We're also the only Kabal to have ever pulled off a coup - those other guys are such slackers. :P
Four coups by two people, and we're on our fourth Archon - remind me to have the floors cleaned. ;D
-
Since I am the only one who can modify the first post of our Kabal should I be the librarian or something? I'll keep the front page up-to-date.
-
So titles have been changed, I am still waiting for mine it seems. I am eager to try out my new toys.
-
I haven't compiled my list of title changes and asked for the thread to be modded quite yet. I was waiting a bit to give somebody a chance to become the last Sybarite before I sent it all to ollieb.
It should get done sometime this week.
-
congratulations on your new rank Incubilord. I will serve you as faithfully as a Dark Eldar can ;).
-
In a shocking turn of events, Raider101 gets the last Sybarite position by simple merit of being the only Warrior to respond over the course of the weekend. :o
That's right, I'm not fiddling around. If one of the other Warriors is unhappy with this, they can try to pull a coup on one of the Sybarites.
I'm going to gather the rank-changes and PM ollie, now...
-
Hey all, Just really sayin hi and giving Incubilord my blessing to rule the Kabal well. Don't want to have a week Archon now do we. Lets see if you can be as great of a archon as me ;)
-
He escaped Scorn's dungeons? Well, about time. :P
< pokes Shade with a poisoned dagger >
I need no blessings! Though it is nice to see you again...
In other news, Synide has fallen under the sway of an unforgiving tutor...
Welcome our latest member, who shall start his life within the Kabal of the Raging Beast as ArchonDragomyr's Grotesque.
-
Welcome Synide - do have fun.
EDIT: Aaah, just spotted OllieB's new titling, thanks to him and all the players at the London 40k Tourney - a great day
-
Collecting moss for a new virulent concoction I found myself in a lower portion of the Spire that was damp and dark. It was then I noticed that I was being followed through the corridor by a rather stealthy and gifted Mandrake one evening. Gifted for a mandrake does not mean that the Mandrake was not beyond reproach. It seems that I had a new test subject for my latest experiment. Yes, worthy indeed. I quickly loaded a numbing dart and slid around the corner out of view for a brief moment. Judging my timing just so, I aimed for the perfect, yes thats right go to sleep my pet...I summoned two slaves to carry the poor creature back to my lab. The screams were glorious but what emerged was quite satisfying...
Welcome aboard Synide, let the battle begin.
-
He escaped Scorn's dungeons? Well, about time. :P
Olliebs dungeons. It was ollieb who wanted the vote for me to be taken out as Archon.
-
Awakening in a dark and damp dungeon, he looked around cautiously, his sharp senses scanning the cell for any flaw which he might exploit, but to no avail. His clawed hands found the walls easy to grip and climb, and his skin readily shifted to match the colour, his head was clearing now, and his body regained part of it's strength. Just then, his feral ears picked up the sound of metallic movement the door was opening. With unnatural speed he zipped across the wall to hang on the ceiling just above the door as the door opened and the first intruder stepped in, he swung his claw at the intruder, only to have it stuck in the grotesque's thick flesh. The intruder looked up, grabbed the mandrake by the arm and yanked him off the sealing and crashing to the floor. With 4 powerful arms, the grotesque held the mandrake securely and brought him out of the cell where another was waiting...
Gifted indeed...
Thanks for the welcome, Hello everyone, i look forward to joining in the fight! :) (hope you liked my intro)
-
Dracon -bill- strides into the chamber dazzzling everyone's eyes with a lurid Hawaian Lime Green shirt with orange orchids. Incubi stagger back almost blinded by this awful sight. The dracoon speaks........"sorry lads you'll have to do the next pirate raid without me, I'm knackered so I'm off on me hols for 2 weeks. Cruising out to Venice with 'er indoors. 8)
-
That's a cool shirt.
If the Incubi are flinching at that, though, they need to be exposed to the contents of my closet... :o
Enjoy the trip, -bill-.
-
Out of the darkness came a cloaked figure. With the speed and grace of a archon he darted into the center of the throne room. Once everyone was looking at him he lifted his cloak off. Underneath the cloak was a armor the color of midnight red trimmings. The color of a mercinary. On his back a very old punisher. Every one watched with awe as he pulled the hood off. With shock they all saw that it was Shade. The once ruler of the Kabal. He walked up to the foot steps of the throne. There he bowed and said,
"Lord Incubilord, I am honored to be a guest in your kabal."
Have fun on your trip bill.
Everyone else was doing fluff stuff. I couldn't resist.
-
Alright, so when is the next battle??
-
Alright, so when is the next battle??
The next one? We haven't had the first one yet ::).
Still, good question. Is it ever going to happen?
-
I have to get the gear re-sorted (and possibly new starting positions) again with everything that's going on and since -bill- won't be here.
I suggest that anybody wishing to participate in the Kabal battle PM me or post here to make sure you don't get left out from lack of apparent interest.
-
PM's are so much *effort*...
I am (still) interested in the Kabal Battle. If'n you need help organizing things, just let me know!
-
Four coups by two people, and we're on our fourth Archon - remind me to have the floors cleaned. ;D
I suggest we keep them slick with blood, to remind everyone just how fleeting power can be for those who are lax within our Kabal. ;D
-
Well I figured that I would drop by and say hi, its been a while, honestly I'm not quite sure how long. Seeing as I'm currently deployed to Afganistan my ability to post quite limited however that doesn't cover the entire span of my absense, it covers maybe half of it. I must admit that I'm quite surprised that I'm still hold my position in the Kabal. Do to my intermittent presence on this board I would not be offended if someone was to be appointed in my place. I can't promise that I will be posting with any regularity, do to missions and other army related activities, I will try but I can't promise anything.
But, anyways congratulations to our new Archon, I actually completely missed the third Archon.
-
You still hold your position because I don't demote people who have a good reaason for relative inactivity - I actually demoted more than a couple people who weren't posting. Rathnard's still a Sybarite because I know he's got a good reason, too. Of course, that doesn't mean that nobody's noticed your inactivity, and the CoA isn't completely arbitrary...
The line of Archons tend to keep each other informed about valid reasons for a member's absence. It's a rite of passage to torture said information out of your predecessor(s). ;)
Now, I wonder about couping across Kabals. If one of us were to acquire the support of all the Dracons in another Kabal...
-
Haha keep dreaming IncubiLord
The last vote for Supreme Archon was a month ago. Give it time before you try and rise to power again
-
Who said anything about Supreme Archon?
I'm comfortable here - the floor's a lovely shade of red, the decor is to my liking, and I'm finally getting this throne worn in so that it sits just right...
I'm merely curious if the joke about Kritik taking control by having enough votes from the Kabal had a grain of truth - if the CoA really would allow a Dracon from one Kabal to coup the Archon from another, the Raging Beasts could attempt a hostile take-over of another Kabal...
-
Well that is a distinct possibility. I mean none of the other Kabals are really that active so potentially if we fill up our Kabal we could absorb another one or something. Or we could do it the old fashion way and just take over them with blades and curses......
And I'm not sorry for the dents in the throne......I had some bad nights......
-
And I'm not sorry for the dents in the throne......I had some bad nights......
Hopefully you'll be less inclined to damage Kabal property with somebody to torture, Haemonculus. ;)
In other news, Shade has returned from his exile with a few slaves to offer as penance. I've decided to accept him back into the Kabal, and he shall take over D4rKn3sS's old position for the moment.
Mahahelel shall be demoted to Warrior so that there's still a Grote spot open for use. Raider101 shall take custody of him until further notice.
Inactive members without an explanation for their absence are likely to see further demotions in the coming months, as I purge the longest-absent from our Kabal. Such is the fate of those who hide from their kin - to be sought out and eliminated.

-
Ah it feels nice to be back in the old kabal, even if only as a Sybarite ;). Thanks to Incubilord for allowing me back in the kabal. I will do my best to uphold the honour of the Kabal.
-
Hmmm, we have alot of inactives in the Kabal...Whatever shall we do when they return? ;)
-
They'll probably all be exiled from the Kabal by the time they think to check back in - including the formerly-ranking members who are now Grotes.
If not, we'll make up a funny and demeaning task for them to do as penance. ;D
-
We have honour? Seriously? Did I miss the memo or something?
And ITS ABOUT TIME!!!! Being Haemonculus was the position i've wanted from the start. I've never been able to get it, even when i became Archon ::)
Also I could think of a few tasks they could do.............. ;D
-
Are we gonna have a kabal battle soon? I think if we did at the moment we could slaughter the other kabals and come out as the dominant kabal. Someone PM me if we are having a kabal battle because I want to be involved in the slave capturing.
PS. How do I get souls so I can pay for items, wargear, weapons and stat increases??
-
Souls are distributed by the Archon in the current system, with the problem that the cost per person and therefore gear changes every time a member active in the battle system changes positions.
As is, it looks like myself, both Haemonculi, Synide, and Raider101 are in, with Shade and Gwahir uncertain. If those two don't say yes/no by the end of the week, they'll not be in this fight.
I plan to get this going as soon as possible, but it's slow going at best. If there isn't a Kabal battle started this month, I'm going to propose amending/replacing the system.
-
As is, it looks like myself, both Haemonculi, Synide, and Raider101 are in, with Shade and Gwahir uncertain.
*Jumps up and down*
And me and me! Don't forget me!
Just because it would be so lame to be ready for the Kabal battle for so long - and then be a non-participant when it actually starts!
-
yeah I am in as I am running in ethier way.
-
the kabal of the twilight wraith has met our call to arms. lets make them slaves for thier insolence.
-
As is, it looks like myself, both Haemonculi, Synide, and Raider101 are in, with Shade and Gwahir uncertain. If those two don't say yes/no by the end of the week, they'll not be in this fight.
Uncertain? I haven't heard anything about this. Anyway, I won't have access to the internet on a regular basis for the next few months, so will have a hard time keeping up with the battle.
-
Hey all just thought I would check in and say hi.
-
My mandrake calls to me asking for blood and meat!
When do we start? :)
-
yea, my bloodlust is getting itchy, when do we start?
-
The Battle starts when I get both kabals lists.
-
Calm your rage, my beasties. Soon, I promise... ;)
You should all have your starting positions and gear, so Shade needs the info from the other Kabal to set up the fight and then we can start...
-Unless we don't have a dice-roller still...
Did we get a good dice-roller yet?
-
I am the dice roller. I sent the message to the other kabal to get thier info.
-
did you gt thier info yet?? my blades are itching!!
-
Don't scratch that itch, they're probably coated in something nasty :o.
But you make a good point. For a second there it looked all ready to rumble and then... silence.
-
Khira'lyth hasn't been online in the last couple of days, and that tends to slow down progress.
If he's not online over the weekend, I'll encourage his minions to revolt. ;)
-
Isn't that what friends are for? ;D
-
Well, they're always revolting :o, but I'd encourage them to rebel. :P
< bonus point for the first one to place where the play on words originated >
No, their Archon has responded to my query and they're getting ready. We'll give them a bit longer before we stab them in the back instead of shooting them in the front.
-
Still no info from them yet. What do you expect though. Not every Kabal can be as organised as us ;). Which in retrospect isn't very orignaised as we are Dark Eldar.
-
The Battle is up http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=138560.new#top
-
Shade's double posting now? (*shakes head*) I'm disappointed in you :P.
Besides that - woot! Kabal Battle is up up and away!
So... do we have a plan, or is it just something along the lines of "do whatever you like"?
Of course, any plan should be discussed by PM to stop spies and the like ::).
-
It's not obvious at this point?
Since this is a test-run of the system, it actually works better if you guys have a little free rein. Do what you want, just try to work together. Oh, and do try to kill the other Eldar... ;)
Send your moves to me as well as Shade, I do want to keep an eye on you guys.
-
Oh, and do try to kill the other Eldar...
*fights the overwhelming urge to backstab on the field*
Sounds like a plan... or, you know, not. You know what I mean. The nifty map I made should be up shortly, should be fairly easy to get an idea of what's going on.
-
[Crickets softly chirp in the background, far away the faint scream of a slave is heard....]
-
Well, congrats to us beasts in winning the first Kabal Battle. Hopefully we will be in the second to fight to the death(or you know until theend of round 6).
So when will those inactive members finally be purged? ;)
-
Well, congrats to us beasts in winning the first Kabal Battle.
I'm not entirely sure that congratulations is entirely in order. We didn't win, so much as they lost - by surrendering. In that same vein, is it really fair that we should get extra souls for "winning" the battle? In all seriousness, it's not like we really did a lot...
-
We aren't getting souls from them.
-
Well in all honesty a few of there members were dead in the next round, atleast one, so gear and soul wise we could get something.
The system worked out rather well, and the map was very useful.
I'm game for another throw down.
-
We aren't getting souls from them.
Well good, but uhh...
Well just so you know Archonbjorn, If you choose to face the Raging Beasts, They will have another 20 or 40(can't exactly remember) to spend on gear while still keeping the gear they already have.
See? I'm not crazy! You want to give us extra stuff, and I am not sure we are truly deserving it.
-
Every Kabal gains a extra 20 or some odd souls per week. That is where the extra souls would come from. The souls per week starts to kick in after the first battle.
Upkeep
Note:A kabal gains 30 souls a week as income
-
Every week eh? Well that's fair enough...
However, since it will most likely be a long time before we next have a Kabal Battle (that includes us at any rate, seeing as it looks likely to be Wych Cult of Whatever vs. Kabal of the Bloodied Claw of etc.), I think it would be prudent to allow just one gathering of income between battles.
Otherwise, it could be another 2 or 3 or even more months to our next battle, and every member would be decked out with heavy armor and splinter cannons. I hope this isn't the case, but it seems disturbingly likely.
-
Yeah I will proably change it so that you earn 30 souls after each battle you are in.
-
Double-check the thread on the Kabal Battle System. We already changed it to income once between battles rather than once per week.
And in other news, Vic has decided to join our prestigious Kabal. Give a warm welcome to our new Warrior - without burning this one alive... ;)
-
Welcome, Vic! Have fun, and try not to rise too far too fast - we have a serious history of backstabbing around here...
-
Now walk this way to the physical........
-
Welcome Vic, a toast, here is your cup...
-
Double-check the thread on the Kabal Battle System. We already changed it to income once between battles rather than once per week.
Since when have I ever listened to you guys.;)
I rarely check that thread fro one reason- It is to god damn big. I have been using the stickied thread that has all the rules. So Incubilord, if you don't mind pmming me or posting in that thread all the rule changes you guys made?
Also Incubilord maybe you could update the List of people in the Kabal.
-
After reading Khira's battle report, it reminded my about the slave count - during the State Championships on the weekend I played 5 games, and ended up with 15 slaves overall. Thought I should have them added to our tally is all!
-
Oh yeh me too, i got 31 slaves.
-
W00t :D. Finally joined a kabal :D.
-
Welcome to the Kabal Vic. Have fun and watch out for......well everybody actually.
Sorry I've been a bit quiet, just been in hospital for 3 stents to be fitted to reopen my coronary arteries. Thank God for the UK National Health Service - a 30k operation for free. Too many fried breakfasts and too many fags.....now only leaves me with 2 vices golf and 40k.
-
Wow, bill.
Just wow.
Report to the Haemonculi immediately for an organ graft or two - if you dare risk their work...
-
Been there done that. I've given him two new hearts as well.......
Oh yeh and IncubiLord if that new brain breaks down...
-
Then you'll give Cuddles a new one. I'm awfully fond of that genestealer...
-
Yeh he was the fun one. He bites.... ;D
-
17 IG slaves, 3 of them rough riders heh.
That was only a 4 turn game, so more was to come I am sure.
-
Welcome Vic ;D
You can sit next to me *pulls up bladed chair for Vic* Enjoy ;)
As for my slave count, i've lost count XD, most of my slaves are Blood Angels...Also, by some weird method, i have a Nurgle Daemon Prince as a slave XD
-
< wakes up on throne >
< kicks Fluffy >
Man, I really gotta stop drinking the stuff those Wyches brew...
Gwahir, is this your cage full of crickets?
Man, I go out to do battle and there's boxes of tiny bugs sitting around the Great Hall. Clean up after yourselves!
All right, guys, you don't have to all pick on Vic - we've got wickywacky1 for you guys to initiate as well now.
Let's see, Shade wanted to see the current membership...
Here it is, and anybody who's ranked above Warrior got a silly title. You don't actually get it or anything, I just felt like writing them in there. :P

Why do I get broken Lord? Just cause i'm the only Archon to have risen above Sybarite?
-
Because an Archon who becomes a Haemonculus has to have had a very rough time...
Also, I started at the bottom of the list and was tiring of the entertainment by the time I reached the Haemies and Dracons - I'm fickle that way.
It all started because I had the random thought that Rathnard was like the master of our "13th Company"/Lost Legion/missing guys, but I couldn't rightly give one guy a Kabal title - it would've been showing favoritism.
If you get two other members of the Kabal backing a different title that you like, I'll update the list with your new Kabal-granted title. The same goes for any Warrior/Grote who wants a spiffy name amongst the group (again, I doubt you'll actually get the title for the forum, but hey, it's for fun).
-
How about giving me: Hunter of the Shadows?
-
Drum up a little support, and it will be as you please.
-
Okay hands up for my title!!!
-
Why would you want to hunt shadows? :-\
How about Shadow Cloaked Hunter?
-
I don't really believe a Haemonculus are all that stealthy. I would ask for something like Poison Expert or Master Grafter. Perhaps manipulative but not stealthy.
I would vote on something more fluffy.
-
Thanks for my "title"- absolutely spot on ;D
-
Okay then.......how about........Master of Suffering?
-
Now THAT is a name i will gladly support ;D
-
Yeah, I don't mind that at all. Master of Suffering wins.
Toad_Raider, Turncoat Captain :P
-
Yep, I can agree to MOS as well.
-
Master of Suffering it is. Teh List has been updated.
-
WOOT Go Bender Go Bender.....I mean........yeh
-
Thanks for the knew title. Totally works for me. Also a side note, sorry for not being active, my computer died and I couldn't get on the internet. Its all better now.
-
*Knock*Knock*
Well it seems nothing important is going on here. Maybe I should coup someone to shake things up a bit. Jk, or am I ;).
O and this is a double post, but o well.
Just noting that I plan on getting a Titan to add to my Kabal. Which should spice things up a bit.
-
< coups Shade >
Ha-ha! Now I'm an Archon and a Sybarite...
Waitaminute, why did I want that? ???
Here, you can have the fancy hat back - I've got a bigger, fancier hat.
Yes, things have quieted down for the moment - it seems there's not a campaign or a Kabal battle for us at the moment, but I may be helping get a campaign going again in mid- to late-September. It's a fan-run affair, but those can be entertaining.
Maybe we should figure out a way to speed up the Kabal battle system so that we could try to kill the others more. That was worth a laugh.
-
Well, the Kabal battle was going well... the problem wasn't us, but "them".
In fact, I have an idea about that...
*runs off to see about implementing said plan*
*EDIT*
Well, IncubiLord knows what's going on. Or should do as soon as he reads his PM. For the rest of you...
For the good of the Kabal (or it's entertainment at least - so we can have another Kabal Battle), I have taken a position of Haemonculi at the Twilight Wraiths Kabal. Whereupon I will thrash their Kabal into some semblance of organization, before beginning to inquire as to another Battle.
Must say I feel a lot safer over there - far less coup's and wotnot :P
-
< poisons Toad_Raider >
No hard feelings. :P
Do take over that other Kabal for me, they're such easy prey that I think you should be able to manage single-handedly.
EDIT: That means we have a Sybarite position open - who wants it?
Also:
Sign in or face demotion (maybe even exile)!
-
oh me me !!
yeah i am taking the DE to the london 40ko tournie, the one bill won in so hopefully the DE will have a glorious day of capturing slaves. !!
-
Signing in, even though you have to know I'm active.
-
Yet more allies leave. Meh I'm happy where I am. Signing In. Bit annoyed at being dragged away from dungeons but whatever.
-
Signing in...A coup...hmmm, yes, that might shake things up quite abite ;)
-
Meh, where have all the good minions gone? Alas I will have to make more...
-
Indeed.
It seems that your latest toy has decided to go hunting without a leash. Perhaps we could find something promising amongst the new blood for you to play with, though - there have been a few new faces of late...
-
A mandrake by any other name, would kill just as quickly... ;)
-
Sure, but what proper Eldar wouldn't? :)
-
So.... who is the knew sybarite? I have only seen one post saying that someone wanted the postion.
-
Give it a little bit, Shade. Some members aren't on as often as we are. ;)
At the end of a week from the call for attendance, ranks may well get a serious shuffling. There's no sense in keeping a Sybarite who can't take the time to check in...
-
I have not been too active recently, but am still around. I'm just too busy to put in much time here. I hope no upstarts start getting ideas in their heads just because I am not around as often.
I understand that there are coups in the works and have been asked for support, but am not willing to commit to anything yet so if you asked for my support, you are just going to have to wait.
-
And, with all the thoughts of coups floating around, we bring in somebody new to try to stab you in the back...
Everybody say hello to archondav - our latest Grote.
-
Welcome archondav, be careful the floor is slick with blood, we don't want you to slip and impale your self on the wall. ;D
-
ok guys just got back from the 40k online tournie and following in bills footsteps i came second !! :D
i captured 18 slaves. all of the games were very challenging and in the end i drew 2 and won 2.
i will post my list later on when i have a bit more time.
-
Welcome Dav, as Shade said, careful not to slip and stab yourself; Let me do it for you ;D
Good Job Naikee!
-
Welcome to my new minion...er...grote sque...archondav. Synide will stab you often to test your mettle so don't let him show you the ropes.
I hope you enjoy your stay here and welcome to the best Kabal around.
-
Oh yeah something I forgot to mention. At Komplete Fanatik....31 slaves. 16 sisters of battle, 10 orks and 5 blood angels. LOL!!!
Welcome. I'm sure Archondragomyr will share you....i mean the fun
EDIT: Just thought I'd mention that i've updated the front page with the new addition. Also we have now hit 347 slaves. Go team!
-
Lol, Excellent raiding!
Unfortunately for me, after the 21600point mega battle yesterday, i only got 1 slave. I'm going to start keeping count now...lol, 1 Slave
-
It is something you really have to get in the habit of. I find it fun and a time to mock and motivate my opponents at the same time. I mean when your force commander gets taken as a slave that is just humiliating you know?
Of course nobody takes large squads versus me anymore. I showed a few the Grotesque + Archon run down trick and days of large slaves are typically over for me. Ah the Consripts or cultist list were so much fun though!
-
Archondav checking in. Thanks for the admittance. I am at your service....for now...
I'd better not slip on the blood soaked floor. After all, I have spikes on the bottom of my boots. In fact, I have spikes just about everywhere. Muahahaha!
-
Watch out everybody, the Archon is beheading people while their backs are turned!
Yes, it's time for some house-keeping, and you may note that a few old faces have been... disposed of.
You may also note that people who get transferred to Rathnard's unit either have an excuse for their absence or are on the chopping block. That's a not-so-subtle hint, there.
Naikee, I'm not sure when you joined up, but you've been missing from the Kabal threads for quite some time. Sorry, but I can't encourage that by promoting you. You'll have to try to coup somebody.
Synide, you've been promoted to fill the missing Sybarite's position. Congratulations, attendance sometimes pays off.
You may also note that -bill- didn't report in or get demoted. That's because I've decided not to let you guys have it too easy. If you want to be a Dracon, you need to somehow get rid of a current one. Let the scheming commence. ;D

Consider the front page updated. I'm the unofficial librarian of our Kabal...........
-
Thank you my lord...I will not fail you :)
May i have a kabal title too? ;D
-
How about "Assassin Champion?"
I am looking at starting a new thread for the Kabal. More on that later...
-
Sounds Good!
Thanks :)
Now, back to killing....
In recent news, i fought Ravenwing yesterday, and my archite took out 1 biker squad, and 2 landspeeders by herself. :)
-
Well done Naikee for keeping up the DE image at London 40k tournment.
Sorry about missing the roll call but where I've been for the last fourteen days even my mobile didn't work let aone being able to access the internet. And I missed the tounrey.
Now I need to fgo and amend my signature . Gold 1st place will have to go until the next tournament.
-
Since you all keep boasting of your slaves...
I beat the Tau today, and return with new cup-holders.
That's right, I beat a bunch of Drones in melee.
Tonight's profits:
5 Gun Drones
2 Sniper Drones
3 Stealth Suits
4 Pathfinders
1 Shas'o
I forgot to roll for the squad of 12 Fire Warriors that I wiped out to finish the game - it was late and my opponent wanted to get in a rematch against the Guard. Who needs them anyways?
-
Lol, nice!
My latest match against Ultramarines yesterday ended up with me taking 8 marines as slaves. :D

...
Sybarite: Rathnard (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=4234) - Master of the Lost Raider - inactive, out raiding
Hmm, not sure what to make of that. "Master of the Lost Raider" is probably an apropriate title though, given my own extended absense. ;D
Yes, I'm still technically out on a very extended raid at "PhD Thesius Prime", so I'll continue only being around sporadically until early February. I have many plans for my triumphant return however - many, many plans involving an awful lot of unpainted minatures. 8)
-
Don't worry too much about it Rathnard. I'm just letting you take the Warriors out on raids to either prove themselves or get themselves killed and out of my hair. It's really an efficient system, what with you being out raiding so much...
I know where you are, and that's enough for now - but you'd better bring slaves back with you when you return from Thesius Prime - triumphant or not. :P
EDIT:
Plus 20 Guardsmen from the last game. Yeah, they're just mon-keigh, but that's better than floating cup-holders...
-
Hi guys,
now that I am a bit more clued into where to report (and where NOT to report) I will attempt to be a lot more active here.
So this is the best bar in downtown Commorragh eh? What are you all drinking cause its my shout, being the fresh meat and all that.
Please be aware that I require verbal thrashings on a regular basis due to my lowly status and I am only here to serve my Illustrious Masters in any way possible. Since I am but a mere House Warrior I plead with you all accept me into your protection and I will repay you in kind when the time is ripe.
But it is not for one such as me to speak out of turn, forgive me Lords and I will dissolve back into the shadows until called upon.
Until then, Wickywacky Warrior.
-
I shall have the distilled essence of a Noise Marine Daemon Prince. Nothing is more satisfying than eating the favored servants of the Great Enemy.
Go to the torture chambers and fetch my drink from the Haemonculi...
-

Would that be with soy or full cream my Lord?
I can also recommend the Tyrannid slice, its on special today.
And would you like to upsize to...............gu rgle,splutter, splutter,choke.
(The Archon is last seen throttling the living heck of his whining minion.)
-
Thats a warrior i could get used to...My lord, isn't it time you weeded(demote) out the needless slack(inactive people), as it stands we have 1 slacking sybarite that i know off.
-
I keep on telling you. You've drunken out all our stocks. At least try the Ork hide beer. I hasn't been selling at all.
-
My lord, isn't it time you weeded(demote) out the needless slack(inactive people), as it stands we have 1 slacking sybarite that i know off.
I was hoping that one of the active Warriors would see that big red "Please Coup Me" sign and deal with the issue properly. There hasn't been enough blood of late, and I did make ollieb change a handful of titles pretty recently just thinning out the non-ranking members (did you notice that the two inactive Grotes are gone and replaced by two more people likely to get kicked out?).
Rathnard, on the other hand, has an excuse. I won't straight-up demote him whilst he's off doing my bidding on Thesius Prime. Again, it would take some ambition from the Warriors to shift him.
Maybe you should find an ambitious Warrior in another Kabal, con him into coming over here, and watch him coup one of the Sybarites to liven up the ranks...
-
I did make ollieb change a handful of titless pretty
If it pleases you My Lord, what is mean't by "Titless?" A mild reference to one of our female Mon-Kiegh slaves perhaps?
Oh I see another beating is coming my way, could we please turn the Agoniser down to stun this turn your Grace?
I will be back to clean my blood up later My Lord, when I regain consciousness.
-
Alright wickywacky, straighten up, chin out *punches it*. Ok, now get some spine in yourself before i hit something more important :)
-
If it pleases you My Lord, what is mean't by "Titless?" A mild reference to one of our female Mon-Kiegh slaves perhaps?
That was rather Freudian. I was thinking that the latest crop of slaves were rather underdeveloped... :o
No, it wasss merely a ssstuck "sss" key and tired a lack of proofreading.
Either that, or I've been letting Cobra Commander type for me. ;)
-
*Cracks whip* Okay all you lesser minions bow before me as your new Dracon. YOu can also bow to that other guy, whats his name again. Snyd, Snydie, no thats right its Shis. ;)
Ah so this Kabal has two more coups and has set a knew first.
Its good to be Dracon again.
-
< smacks Shade upside the head hard enough to knock him off his feet >
There, now you're bowing before me again. I'm glad you decided that you're so aware of the privileges of rank - clean my boot while you're down there. :P
Ah, it's good to be an Archon... ;D
Remember kids, getting closer to the people with power can carriy as much annoyance as opportunity.
-
*Bow to IL*
Hello,
I like my new threads. ;D
And It's SyNide, remember the name...So, who wants a taste of my punisher? :)
EDIT: So whats the new organization like?
-
Naikee and Wicky are the only active Warriors, so they'll probably get the vacant Sybarite slots while Gwahir and -bill- recover from the sudden trauma.
Of course, that leaves Gwahir and -bill- as the only active members of the Kabal who rank below Sybarite - a dangerous situation for the Sybarites, wouldn't you think? If you Sybarites and Dracons want a little security, it's in your best interest to help find a few good, active recruits for the Kabal...
That does mean we technically have 5 Grotesques at the moment, but I think I'll let our active members back out of the cells quickly if they so desire. If it becomes an issue, the two under D4rKn3sS will be exiled, possibly alongside a couple of the inactives hiding behind Rathnard's Raider. If I must clean house again so soon, I might as well do it right...
-
Been keeping the torture chamber busy eh? A haemonculi's work is never done....
-
Yes, hope you enjoy your new toys ;)
-
welcome back Shade or any of the 2000 names you've had since I've known you (LOL).
Still got those warriors I sent across the North Atlantic to help you out??
Of course, that leaves Gwahir and -bill- as the only active members of the Kabal who rank below Sybarite -
Not me I've already turned down the role of Archon once. I only got involved in the first place to stop superspammer Krilik? becoming Dracon. Oh yes and it's quite within the rules to go from Grotesque to Dracon cos I did it. You have to go right back to the beginning of the Kabal though to read the history of the challenges.
-
/e rips out Bills faulty organs especially that faulty heart and coronaries and replaces it with some new healthy fresh ones(from a genestealer). Sure it fits with a few tubes, trust me, I tried it on Archondav.
There my pet, I hope you are feeling better. Perhaps in time you will regain strength and throw a few spare tidbits and slaves my way.
-
welcome back Shade or any of the 2000 names you've had since I've known you (LOL).
Still got those warriors I sent across the North Atlantic to help you out??
Of course I do. They are sitting on my shelf right now staring at me ready to go out on a raid.
-
welcome back Shade or any of the 2000 names you've had since I've known you (LOL).
The names are fine with me, it's usually "Shade, < insert random self-appointed title >."
But yellow?
Not me
That only makes things worse for the Sybarites...
I only got involved in the first place to stop superspammer Krilik? becoming Dracon.
Thankfully, it turns out that not everybody's a Kritik. :P
it's quite within the rules to go from Grotesque to Dracon cos I did it.
Yeah, when there's an empty slot for a Dracon anybody can try to get it.
-
Well, thats quite a coincidence...didn't know you were a grotesque before you were a Dracon :)
Yes Shade, why Yellow!? Try a nice colour like blue :)
-
It's not yellow. It's gold. this is yellow. and this is what I havegold.
-
Good Grief >.<
Black is a very good colour :D
-
Gold on a computer screen is just another yellow. :P
I'm still curious why you've chosen to go yellow "gold..."
Oh, and let's have a head-count:
Who wants to play in another attempt at a Kabal battle?
-
I'm still curious why you've chosen to go yellow "gold..."
In one word boredom. In a longer sense I was trying to match it to the bandana but yellow was to bright so I went with gold.(don't worry about it though it will probably change in a few days when I find a avatar that I like.)
-
I'm in for a battle, not sure we can say another after what was kinda a good drive and some false starts though.
-
I'm in! But only if people can send their moves in on time.
-
OF course I'm in. I am runing it again.
-
Im in for sure. Also just thought I'd let you know that i've added a credit notice for the creator of our banner Kitsune Tsuki. He made it and Shade used it. Any questions ask him.
-
Yeah, Kitsune made it. I told that in my orignal post showing the two differnt designs of the banners.
-
I like mine better. :P
-
I like the one I have as it is smaller. Meaning I can have more then one banner.
-
Hi all,
being as mentally challenged as I am, I was wondering if anyone could point a poor warrior such as myself in the right direction when adding the "kabal.jpg" picture thingy to their signature.
(Geez and I have only had thirty years experience as a Graphic Artist and still can't figure this one out!)
Current project is a converted Eldar Falcon to proxy as a Ravager. It has twin chin mounted dark lances and a pintle mounted disintergrator on the open deck carved from the main body.
Both of the "falcon wings" have the outer edges highly serrated, the jet exhausts angled at the back like a Raiders, twin blade like rudders like a Void Dragon Pheonix, the pilots cockpit is now open with a half hieght windscreen remaining and the open deck has the rear gunner standing Ravager style with his pintle mounted gun.
Built in slave snares gained from some chaos sprue trail underneath the back of the craft and skids run along the bottom inline with these shares. Both the pilot and gunner are DE models and I intend to paint the whole model, when finished, black and silver and maybe purple highlights.
Considerable effort has gone into "thinning down" the width of this model and the shape that I am trying to emulate is a flying DE twin bladed push dagger (close combat weapon). Its about the same area as a Ravager, armed the same and was wondering if I am going to run into much opposition when I try to use it in a game when claiming its a looted vehicle.
This plus my Lord on a coverted Vyper are the biggest projects to date and I predict that you will ask for pictures and again I don't know much on how to send them, so if any one can advise it would be appreciated.
Your humble Warrior asks to be dismissed.

So for the Kabal Battle we're looking at fielding myself, the Dracons, and the Haemonculi.
Anybody else?

I am in if someone could guide me through how to play, or would that be a liabilty?
Thanks.

Nobody knows how to play - it's an adaptation of D&D combat and 40K rules that a couple of the guys cooked up and we're playtesting. The thread on what's involved is here:

Since I am having so much trouble with this I must have less brains than a Grotesque, if thats possible.
(At least thats what my wife keeps telling me!)

Nah, it is just that it is a new system. Archonbjorn and I are the only ones who knew how to do it in the begining(we made it). We have like a 20 page thread riddled with questions. Most of the people who know how to do it now are the ones who played in the first game.

That can be arranged if you don't be careful...

LOL, just noticed that you are indeed a Haemonculus,..........eeek!
(Last seen running through the double doors of of the dungeons being chased by a hail of Stinger fire.)

Everybody's armed.
PM me your starting positions.

Wheee...very bored...
Just added 5 more slaves from a blood angels player to my total tally. :)
-
So, my 1k tournament is coming up. Anyone have a few list to throw around for a cheesy tournament? Standard RTT missions, 1k any legal army. I think I might convert my Female Archon (because we all know they cheat the bestest) with Scourge wing(to represent a Hellion Skyboard) and go full out cheese. People in my group would have no idea whether she was a wych or not until it was too late. They think everything I take is wyches, so maybe I can use that.
How goes the battle?
-
The battle seems to not be happening :-\ quite sad really, it looked promising...
Anyway, for your 1k list, i've got an idea if you want to try something different...Scourge s :)
Take a squad of scourges, then take loads of footslogging warrior squads(made for assault). and a raider or 2 with wychs. :)
In fact, here's a list.
HQ:
Archon
Punisher/Thelm
Combat Drugs
Shadowfield
Plasma Grenades
Animus Vitae
-152
Elite:
Wych Squad
7 Wychs - Wych Weapons, 1 Blaster
1 Succubus - Agonizer, Wych Weapons, Plasma Grenades
Raider - Dark Lance, Horrorfex
-199
Troops:
Warrior Squad
10 Warriors - 2 Splinter Cannons, 2 Blasters
-110
Warrior Squad
10 Warriors - 2 Splinter Cannons, 2 Blasters
-110
Warrior Squad
10 Warriors - 2 Splinter Cannons, 2 Blasters
-110
Warrior Squad
10 Warriors - 2 Splinter Cannons, 2 Blasters
-110
Heavy Support:
Scourge Squad
8 Scourges - 4 Splinter Cannons
-208
Total: 999
Wow...I actually like this list...Try it :D, you quite literally own the field. Your main force(troops) will be staying together pushing through the centre, you can either have your archon footslog behind them, to provide counter-charging power, or have him in the raider with the wychs. The scourges will be your mobile reserve, moving to help wherever they are needed.
What do you think? ;D
-
I think I would switch 2 of them to sniper squads and give it a whirl. Perhaps squeezing in a Skyboard for the Archon and cheesing him with scourge wings for the "jump pack" effect.
The armies I know will be there is Slaneesh/Nurgle X2, IG, and probably new boys and Eldar, with a sprinkling of some Marines likely SW's and Ultra maybe BT or even sisters. I think this list would do well versus some army, but does not have enough firepower to take on anything remotely mech. Necrons would be my biggest fear if someone had the ca hones to bring a Lith or Blessed Hull LR.
I like the idea of 2 HQ's in such a small game, Haemmie's holding the line. I do want to get Wyches in, but they seem like one vehicle is target Alpha.
-
I've personally never been a fan of sniper squads myself(never liked the whole static thing) and the problem with making 2 of them into sniper squads is that the tactic of swarming a target is diluted. Not sure how it would turn out.
Instead of wychs, why not take a 3 Dark Lance ravager(give it a night shield) and the haemie on jetbike :D Only problem is that the lord will be footslogging, but if you keep all your troops together, it should be good. Death by armour save!
Here is the modified list:
HQ:
Archon
Punisher/Thelm
Combat Drugs
Shadowfield
Plasma Grenades
Animus Vitae
-152
Haemonculi
Destructor
Reaver Jetbike
-75
Troops:
Warrior Squad
10 Warriors - 2 Splinter Cannons, 2 Blasters

-110
Heavy Support:
Scourge Squad
8 Scourges - 4 Splinter Cannons
-208
Ravager - 3 Dark Lances, Night Shields
-125
Total: 1000
Very nicely on the dot here.
-
I have been informed that objective missions will be numerous and speed is the name of the game. I don't think this army would do well in claiming objectives, but I do have the models to make it happen. I have a game tonight vs new Chaos to test out a few ideas. I am going to slap on some scourge wings(skyboard) to an Archon just to see what happens.
I'll take a peak at others armies and see what I might have to change.
-
Hmmm, this should be able to do those missions(although you'll need to steadily march and time your approach to the objectives).
But if you're unsure, then go with the classic airforce :D
-
I ended up playing Alpha Recon vs SW drop pods. I won and I did take a punisher/skyboard lord who failed his first SF save and still killed 14 Marines and taking 4 as slaves more than getting his points in that case and making his units non scoring.
I had Mandrakes and a 10ish warrior squad in his DZ, and my wyches just held a zone in my DZ. My warp beast immobilized his Vet Dread :)
-
A skinless cat mauled a top-of-the-line walking tank?
Priceless.
Of course, that's not possible in the rules (you always use the Dread's front armor and Dreads count as 10 models so you can't get outnumbering with Warp Beasts), so I'm going to guess it was actually the Beastmaster - right?
-
Yes, I was referring to the squad. I took a 3 beast w/ master min squad for counter-assault. Of course the drop pod Ven Dread was easily in my reach, and I thought I could atleast tie him up for a round or 2 so he would not shoot me up. It was not my original target for the beast. The Ravager killed a 9 or 10 man Wolf Squad to 2 men and they ran ><, one had a PF of course, but the mandrakes took care of them later.
The master on the charge got 2 6's of which I rolled a 5 and a 1, meaning it counted for half points, but he did not make me re-roll due to the possibility of blowing it up. Over 3 rounds of combat, 2 turns he killed one WB, one WB, and then the final 2. I had the change to break twice, but made my LD test :( Of all the times to make them heh.
Just for fun, I had him roll a LD test for a crucible and he failed, so if I can squeeze it in I would. Almost everyone is going to use a psyker especially all the chaos players.
I forgot how much fun 1k games are, they go fast, and are great to test out a list. He wanted to use Drop pods, for his 1k list, and I got to test my Jump Pack Lord, which my group has no qualms about.
-
1500 against the Guard tonight.
I'm beginning to find Sentinels quite annoying. Six of them when I have two Russes and a Basilisk to blow up gets to being quite a few targets for my Lances and Blasters. Plus, my Agonisers didn't want to punch through Armor tonight.
On the bright side, I got to see whole units of tight-packed Guardsmen melt when my Haemies got into a good position...
It wasn't a good game for gathering slaves though. Only six from a Guard army. :'(
So many vehicles, so few Infantry, and the Haemies and Talos had the nerve to shoot people! >:(
-
LOL, I find mech guard the worst opponent for me. I actually don't mind Sentinels nearly as much as Hellhounds. I am the one getting fried most of the time. My 2 IG opponents take atleast one if not 2 per game, and that is on top of Russes and Bassies etc.
I normally pull it out in the end, but those first 2 turns are brutal. I have had lone RJB take out 2 tanks, both without hitting with the blaster,charging rear armor :) I have also had warp beast take down a Hellhound, so I love me some rear armor.
-
Meh.
I like playing against the guy. He's relatively new to the game and still building his army, so it's fun to actually give him advice and watch him progress towards being a good player of an army that can prove quite challenging. He hasn't gone nuts with the Hellhound yet because we're both of the opinion that a trio of Sentinels is more durable and even more annoying for CC forces, but the ranged flamer template has been calling to him...
Yeah, last game I fired something like eleven Lances/Blasters at one Leman Russ and didn't manage to do more than immobilise it and keep it from shooting back. Then a Talos reached its side armor on Turn 3...
One automatic hit (stupid combined-attacks rule), one Penetrating hit, roll a 6 for damage, watch the lone Succubus who was trying to help get caught in the 1" blast - good times. ;D
Mech guard are convincing me that I love Talos and need more Haywire in my armies. 'Nidzilla don't deal well with well-supported trios of Talos, either.
-
Hello all, long time no post. Well I have some sad news. I will be stepping down from my postion of Dracon. I just haven't posted all that much in this board for a while and haven't fielded my Dark Eldar in about 2 Months. I am still a true kin at heart though. I feel you deserve a more active Dracon so I am stepping down.
-
Wow. The ambitious Shade is stepping down? So who's gonna take the position?
-
Hopefully someone who is rather active and wants it. Life happens and sometimes you have to take a step back and do other things for awhile to rekindle the motivation.
-
:o
That was completely out of the blue. Sad to see you go...
So, who will take his place?
-
Well, the whole roster could use a cleaning, complete with another purge of the missing persons who still claim our titles. Sooo...
ROLL-CALL!
Also, as a little-known fact made public - the Archon can rename the Kabal. While I'm not inclined to rename the Raging Beasts after the Court of the Dark Prince (my own Dark Eldar), I'm curious what others think about possibly choosing a new name for the Kabal.
Since I'm demanding that people post anyways, why not get some opinions?
-
I'm still around...as for changing the name of the Kabal...Why not the Silent Lances or something more subtle...raging beasts just sounds too...primal for me :P
-
I still drift in and out of here, but don't have the time this semester to say much. I've only even played one game since mid August. :'( My schedule next semester isn't nearly as bad so hopefully more posting, playing and painting.
-
I like the name. While it's not my own Kabal of the Black Talon, it is sufficiently Dark and its hardly like the original members are around who could protest. We could overthrow the old and become the new.
-
I like Raging Beasts. I could do Dracon if I wanted, I've got the time. But the whole been there, done that, got the t-shirt....
-
Isn't that T-Shirt a tad bloody from slashes to the back? Just because you have the T-shirt does not mean you have learned your lessons. Fail once and you will get a reputation, fail twice and everyone knows how to dupe you.
-
Only a Tad bloody??? Someone has been slacking off on his job, why isn't his shirt soaked with it?
Gwaihir, i know what you mean about the tight schedule, i'm facing that right now. :(
-
My favorite trained minion left and I am afraid this latest one just isn't working out as I had hoped. So hard to find good slaves these days.
-
No-one every said the T-shirt was an any half-decent condition. And the fact that I haven't applied for Dracon yet shows that I don't have to learn my lesson.
-
its hardly like the original members are around who could protest.
Don't let Rathnard hear you saying that. He named this Kabal, and he's still lurking in the shadows...
I'm not sure about Silent Lances, as I kind of liked the inhuman creature connotation of the Raging Beasts and I'm not overly fond of naming the Kabal after a weapon. However, something like Kabal of the Unseen Terror might be interesting.
So far, it looks like changing the name is more popular than keeping the old one. Maybe it's time for a brainstorming session on names...
In other news today, Archon Varn Lorath is now a Warrior of our glorious - if identity-confused ;) - Kabal. Say hello, and try not to break this one.
-
Hello. Are we still adding slave slave counts to the kabal total? Even after half a year I have no slaves, to much leadership, either that or i slaughter them from range :P. Anyway as for names I like Unseen Terror, I also like Raging Beasts (just to throw around some names) here is my kabal name and some names I rejected (mostly to do with blades sorry IncubiLord) Kabal name: Shadowy Blade
Rejected names: Shadowy scimitar, Blak Scimitar, Black Dragon, Shadowy Dragon.
Some names I just thought of: Horrific Death, Harbingers of Terror
Do you have an idea what the name should be like (i.e. not naming after a weapon...)
If I seem inactive it's just because Im afraid to say stuff that is common knowlage. ;)I'll make an effort to be more active from now on. Oh and thanks for letting me join Incubilord ;D
-
Welcome aboard here is your red t-shirt.
I have recently had a lot of brainstorming for names for various purposes. I do like the name now, but no one Rages anymore.
I like Kabal of the Soul Moons. Phoenix or Hydra always make up a good name somehow. Screaming Hellions, Chaotic Misfits etc etc.
It's hard to just say Kabal of the ____ ____ . As long as it is Dark Eldar in nature and sufficiently evil and dark, I would be ok with it.
-
Kabal of the soul moons sounds a bit to harmless to me, as for phoenix and Hydra Ill get brainstorming. :) Chaotic misfits I again dislike for association with chaos and more importantly, the great enemy. I think we should all get brainstorming, gather all the best ideas, then vote. Unseen Terror is my fave so far.
-
You my dear fresh meat should read the first post...
Are you in the kabal yet? :)
Either way, i just tossed out silent lances as an example, i'm actually thinking of something more subtle...the inhumanness can stay, but i'm in favour of something more subtle, the word insidious, dusk, twilight, darkness, shaded, shadowed all come to mind.
-

-
LOL, excellent, i love how the real-life tiredness of after college gets you into much confusion...
Anyway, Welcome ;D, make yourself at home, don't feed the slaves.
-
Well, you can feed the slaves a litttle - I don't want them starving to death whilst I get around to consuming their souls. Just make sure you feed them something which will make them suffer. ;)
That empty-quote trick was amusing, too.
-
That empty-quote trick was amusing, too.
Just not sure how to quote right, what I did was: insert quote, copy paste, insert quote :P Think I did it right this time.......hopefuly
As for feeding the slaves I can slip some of our wine (the stuff that gives humans stomach cramps) and extra alchohol into the food paste, that way they will have stomach cramps and be to drunk to deal with the pain. That and they will have a headache when they wake up the next day and a stomach cramp. Enough suffering for you IncubiLord?
-
yes you did, good job ;D
ok, i want a little soul-snack...
-
I am afraid if I catch you feeding the slaves, I might have to confuse you with my pets. My pets are much stronger and can tolerate much pain, you sure would benefit from this yes?
-
Can anyone give me an idea of what the kabal battle system is supposed to work?
-
Someone challenges another Kabal/Wych Cult
We arrange gear with the Archon/Archite doling out the gear based on what we have/souls etc.
Then we PM our positions based on what we want, and then PM moves based on turn until we can shoot/assault the other members.
That is basically it, with all the rolls for combat being handled by someone not in the fighting.
-
I'm still around and have now managed to avoid hospitals for 3 months whilst setting up a new company in between 40k battles
-
So, still no new name eh?
Kabal of the Black Soul
Kabal of the Primal Rage
Kabal of the Ethereal Shadow
just some ideas.
-
Kabal name ideas:
Harbingers of Pain
Venomous Bite
Venomous Claw
Lurking Doom
Dark Maw
Harbingers of Sorrow
-
So is the rumour true that following the coup you were so upset at me losing my rank that you all committed suicide?
even my past fellow Dracon the voluble Synide has been very quiet
-
Incbui Lord has mumbled about a shake up. It has been very quiet indeed.
-
I'm still here I just don't talk much.
-
Sorry, guys, I've been busy with a bunch of random crap of late and I keep hoping the site will get back up and running - the temporary forums' skin bugs me.
I'll look at some new ranks and maybe even a new Kabal name by this time next week, I promise.
-
So what names do you have in mind?
By the way I dont want to sound naggy or anything but my rank still hasent changed from newbie to warrior.
-
I like the sound of Primal Doom, but that's just taking choice words from the offerings.
As for your title - ollieb normally does them in a timely manner, but he was away for a while. I'll poison him and demand better service.
-
Primal Doom is nice ;D, by the way I am looking for a good colour for my dark eldar, do we have a Kabal colour scheme?
-
Actually, i think that Newbie title is your post count. Get your post count up and you'll see that change :D
Anyway, what is this talke about a shake up?
-
That'll teach me not to make promises - site access difficulties FTL!
Ahem.

Lol...Wow, it's been awhile, i just realized that Dragomyr is now a Dracon too :D
Gosh, our numbers seem...Decimated somehow.
-
Indeed my former pet. It seems I have done good work for the both of us.
Good work Incubilord, all that is left is our name change.
The ranks are thin, but I think we will see a boom once a new codex is being rumormongered.
-
2009, still quite a ways away from the new codex...Yes you have done good work, i cut my way to the top(as far as we can go) and so have you.
-
I started out as a Haemonculus...
Yeah, our numbers are low, but I make it a point to cut the slack and therefore keep us a healthy group. Then I'm picky about who I recruit - and you guys haven't been suggesting anybody you approve of lately, either....
-
Well, we don't have much fresh meat. Sadly we're dipping under the radar again. Soulstorm didn't seem to bring as many new faces as i'd hoped. :(
-
The Dark Eldar are somehow unsatisfying to play as on Dawn of War. I'm not sure why, maby its because I can't field large squads of warriors, shredders are missing, blasters are missing, the textures were not that good on the vehicles. That and Ive heard people complain that the soul powers were overpowerd. Its fun for a while but other armies are more fun to play as on Dawn of War, thats where all the new players are going. Others just don't realize that it's based on a wargame, l(ike me I suddenly thought to myself "hey wait a minite.... haven't I seen models of these things?).
As a final note the guide says we worship slaanesh!
Please don't misunderstand me, I love the Dark Eldar!
-
Hi,
I was just getting used to being lowly WickyWacky Warrior and now I see that I am a Sybarite?
What have I done to deserve such graces?
I argue every rule in the book, do my best to post confusion and mayhem in the forum and to top it all off I do nothing of any worth here either, so why me oh Dark Lord, why?
Don’t I deserve punishment of some sort? You know, the usual beating up over some misunderstood rule or something suitably done with your battery powered Agoniser.
I know, I will run away and start my own Kabal, that will show them! But there seems like there is no one else to start one up with, yikes!
-
Well the hope was we would give you some nice poisoned blades and no training. In practice you would kill yourself and save us the trouble.
But, now that I have told you the plans, we will simply make you court jester sybarite and throw things at you such as skulls and power armor scraps.
-
Hehehehe...
I understand what you mean about becoming Chaos Eldar Van Lorath...In a way it's cool, because you'd be playing the oldest and most powerful servants of Chaos...But playing as a servant...And that is why you shall forever remain a servant. I shan't soil my hand *instructs slave to smack Van Lorath*.
Don't play coy wyckywacky, you must have known that all the mayhem you caused would scare everyone else off. Clever ploy to get your promotion. :)
-

I never said it was a good thing, I thought that they understood that we are not chaos eldar at first. Then the booklet >:( At least there are no refrances to it in game.
-
Oh i know, i just felt like pushing your buttons. ;)
-
I was just getting used to being lowly WickyWacky Warrior and now I see that I am a Sybarite?

You kept wandering out of arm's reach and I got tired of getting off my throne to smack you around. Promotions mean I can insist that you stand closer to me - therefore allowing me to beat you with less effort on my part.
Really, I'd demote you to Grote if it got you closer to the throne so that I didn't have to spend effort to hurt you.

Hey,
You’re the Independent Character here and the one with the ability to detach or not, not me!
Its not like I can go wander off out of coherency or anything, but I never knew that Sybarites could be part of a Retinue anyway.
You sure that you are running this Kabal by all the rules? Page reference please!
(At least Grots feel no pain – could be a bonus here. Mumble, mumble, grumble.)
-
Pfft. Those rules are for weaklings who want to 'play fair' because they know they would lose if we took off the kiddy-gloves - and I burned by kiddy-gloves years ago.
Power is meant to be abused.
Oh, and it's in the Necromunda rulebook. :P

2) Manual handling pamphlets are to be distributed to all Warriors to show the correct method of loading slaves onboard, remember ‘knees bent and backs straight’ at all times please.
3) Step treads have been installed due to reported slippage on blood; the situation will be appraised on site.
4) Slave snares on Raiders 1,5 and 8 have dried remains on them and are starting to rust, Tortured slaves in maintenance to investigate.
Ravagers –
1) The lead Ravager on the Death Dealers squadron has reported an annoying squeak on his left disintegrator mount. This makes stealth all but impossible in Night Fight missions.
2) Its been noted that graffiti on the side armour is on the increase again and slogans like “For The Greater Good” really send out the wrong message here people.
3) The Dais of Destruction, I repeat, does not require a Whoopee Cushion under the throne. It’s hard enough as it is to command without the troops saying their Leader has a Shadow field based on gas warfare.
Wyches –
1) Personal hygiene issues have cropped again and it’s recommended that we all make greater use of the shower block under the arena in future. Our sponsors do supply a range of deodorants and talcs made from all natural ingredients for your convenience, so please steer clear of cheap imitations being sold by your local Haemonculi.
2) Racks for all Wych weapons are being installed at all arena entrances to check in all effects. This is to curb excess crowd appreciation tactics in the stalls.
Grotesques –
1) Dress standards are falling below par, when was the last time your attending Haemonculi organised hair and nails – honestly? And when was the last time their teeth were brushed? (Nothing worse than a bad case of Grot breath!)
Warriors –
1) Cohesion is getting to be a serious problem; the buddy system is to be reinforced in future and extra drill to be performed on parade.
Accidents and near misses –
Discarded poisoned blades found near the Tower of Terror.
Action taken – Sharps container installed by the entrance with appropriate signage.
Hell mask fitted on backwards resulted in everyone within 6” assaulting the wearer.
Action taken – contacted the supplier and organised runes to be inscribed “This side out.”
Outstanding Items –
There is still a general trend within our community to dress down on Fridays so I must reiterate, “Mesh Armour is to be worn at all times whilst at work.”
And “Open toed sandals are not acceptable on raids any more,” due to our insurance premiums being constantly on the rise through reported injuries.
Closed Items –
The confusion over which is the Turbo button on Reavers has now been resolved; it’s now clearly marked “In case of Panic, push this.”
The biscuits available in the “Soul Snack Café” now include cream filled to cater for all tastes.
If any member has something to add then please feel free to do so.
-
I'm afraid you mis-recorded something...
There is now a waiver for anybody wishing to go raiding in open-topped shoes. All signing it agree that any foot injury is their own problem to deal with and that I can cut off their injured extremities.
-
It's so empty in here I can hear my own echo.
Any body home?
-
Hi, Im here
-
We lurk and wait for the fear to rise, that way when we reap your soul the taste of fear is all the sweeter.
-
We lurk and wait for the fear to rise, that way when we reap your soul the taste of fear is all the sweeter.
(Wicky spins around in the darkened room.)
"Who said that!" "Show yourself, I'm not scared!"
-
Leaping from above to stab the unsuspecting Sybarite in the neck.
"I did, let the poison run through your veins little one, my skills as a Haemonculus should not be forgotten afterall."
With a flick of the wrist, a few warriors rush forth to take the unconscious Sybarite down deeper into the bowels of the Kabal.
-
hey all, im back after quite a long hiatus from the hobby. wondering if our current archon can change my name to ~Arnold Schwarzenegger's right bicep~ I am the sybarite 'raider'. thanks in advance. im also working on a new DE concept army, it's slow going but I WILL post the odd pic here if anyone is interested. the backstory of my army involves the old ones, the necrons, the warp and an exodus planet. will be posting short stories to do with my new kabal in the story section of this site.
may your slave pens always be full. ~Arnold Schwarzenegger's right bicep~
-
our current archon
You say that like the title frequently changes hands...
< kills nearest Warrior - just to be on the safe side >
change my name to ~Arnold Schwarzenegger's right bicep~ I am the sybarite 'raider'.
I know who you are - I checked up on you when you changed your name and I saw a Sybarite whose name I didn't recognize. I've been keeping an eye on the lot of you, quietly waiting for the mistake that will give me an excuse to devour your souls - I mean - watching to ensure your growth into proper Lords in your own rights.
Your name's been changed in the most-recent org-chart (see last page).
I WILL post the odd pic here if anyone is interested. the backstory of my army involves the old ones, the necrons, the warp and an exodus planet. will be posting short stories to do with my new kabal in the story section of this site.
Pics should really go in the DE general area so that the members of lesser Kabals, and even those too lowly for a Kabal (see how awesome we are?) can also comment on them.
You are now expected to keep us updated with links to both the pics and the stories in the Kabal thread, though. ;)
-
Double-post - rank hath its privileges, and any good Archon should abuse them at least once in a while...
Nihilistic Glee shall now be joining our ranks as a Warrior.
I know that the recent tradition has been to try out your latest poisons on the new guy, but after the last four died, I'm putting a ban on that. Come on, gang, it's hard enough to find more without you killing them. So say hello and keep the hazing down at the permanent-injury-or-less level. :P
-
Oh, Im so deeply honored my Lord..... =__=
Salutations to you all... *nodds softly towards all the othets*
-
Welcome to the ranks. I have to admit the latest batch of poison was what we had hoped for and more. So, seeing as we cannot offer you the traditional kool aid...
A flayed skinned face with deep dark set eyes stares blankly at you with a knowing grin.
-
Welcome Nihilistic Glee!
*Smacks glee across the face with an agonizer* Compliments of the house ;)
-
Welcome Nihilistic Glee, dont let your guard down in the palace halls ;)
-
" rank hath its privileges"
Have you developed a lisp my Lord?
Can I get something to relieve that for you?
-
Silly youngling... :P
When I indulge in archaic dialect, you're supposed to smile and nod, not draw attention to yourself when I'm speaking in the manner of kings who execute their serfs on a whim.
-
Archon IncubiLord i offer my services in your mighty kabal as a warrior will you accept my request to join this guil of champions ;D :D
-
Silly youngling... :P
When I indulge in archaic dialect, you're supposed to smile and nod, not draw attention to yourself when I'm speaking in the manner of kings who execute their serfs on a whim.
When I asked "Could I get you something to relieve that." I was expecting something along the lines of "Oh, just your head on a pike would be nice."
Seems that you are going soft in your growing age and perhaps not fit to rule any more?
(A more than nervous look around confirms that no one is behind me.)
-
The quick powering of a Punisher is the only warning the youngling has before a deep voice bellows...How do you think we make gruesome talismans?
My lord your indulgence if I may show this whelp how one finds their place within the kabal. My gruesome talisman could use a fresh addition or few.
-
It seems our young Sybarite has forgotten that the greatest of our kind are capable of far more subtlety than his brash actions. Well, some must learn the hard way, and I don't feel like dirtying my nice new shirt right now. Have fun - I know how you enjoy your work.
Don't cut off anything the Haemies can't replace - painfully.
-
hey incubi lord. ill take garthvader as one of my warriors if your soulessness doesn't mind.
-
He had the audacity to wander into my throneroom uninvited and you think this will go unpunished? :-\
No, he won't be anybody's Warrior here until he has seen the torture chambers - from the receiving end...
-
should I just throw him in with the warp beasts to appease your anger sire?
-
With a nod to Incubilord, quick strides and a flick of the wrist take a new trophy. Wicky is disarmed and without 2 fingers. A quick flourish and a suddenness few posses, the fingers are scooped and and put into a pouch.
A shrill whistle is heard and suddenly a few genestealer like creatures that limp and lope into the room appear. A not so subtle shove into waiting claws, Wicky is dragged from the throne room and into the bowels of the structure.
"Do not get too comfortable Garthvader, if my mood strikes me you will be next."
Screams and dull thuds can be heard in the chamber as Archondragomyr exits behind his pets.
-
I will do what i must to join this established Kabal.
ps sorry about posting again in this forum right now incubilord i accidentally posted before i read your pm :-[
-
Well, then...
Off to the dungeons with him! I think I'll give you to -bill-. He keeps disappearing into his dungeons and working on people, and I'd like to see what happens to you. ;)
The appropriate measures will be taken, and you may now enjoy the use of the Kabal's buffet - when you're not being broken in.
-
Luvverly, another body
-
The young warrior watched all this in amusement, giving wicky a soft, cold smile before the steel doors of the dungeon slammed shut. The youth then looked up to his Dark Lord, somewhat anxious of his placement in the Kabal. "And what will become of me my Lord?" He asked as he lowered his head in respect.
-
It seems that Varn Lorath has taken a strangely-protective liking to you, giving you fair warning about the halls and all that. I suppose you can work with him for now.
When garthvader gets out of the torture chambers, I suppose I'll indulge bicep's request, too...
-
A plaintive cry bleats from the dungeons - "Can I come out now?" "I promise to be good, honest!"
-
< walks over to the doors >
Let him out...
< trips wicky as he comes running through the doors - into the pile of used needles >
That's for making me get up from the comfy chair! :P
< returns to throne >
-
The plaintive echoes still reverberating off the walls. A glove now appears over Wicky's hand to cover up what work has been done.
ArchonDragomyr emerges from a side chamber with his new trophy on display. Were those tattoos on the fingers before? Only Wicky knows for certain...An occasional smirk is displayed whenever eyes fall upon Wicky and his lesson will be long remembered by those who survive in Commorragh.
-
Hey, treat me nicely!
Under the new rules set I am the only scoring unit in the game, unlike all you fancy nancy Archon’s and Drachon’s with your pointy hats and sharp sticks.
Ouch! Don’t prod so hard – I am leaving already (but can I have my fingers back now?)
-
Pfft...
Who needs to be a "scoring unit" when you can kill them all instead? :P
-
"You're not the only scoring unit," said Jester, to screams of "Oh god I thought he was dead."
"Also, why have I not been killed or grotesquified yet, I'm ashamed of all of you."
-
Sadly, I've been limited to only throwing out a couple of members at a time in my house-keeping - and the previous Archons had left many dormant members from before you joined up. I've flat-out said that you're on the chopping block before, and, if it makes you feel better, you are next in line.
It seems you've already lost your title, though, so maybe we should just make it official now.
Or were you planning on repenting of your Chaos ways and returning to the fold?
-
I was here before they were handing out titles for it. I've considered Dark Elves a lot, if that means anything, but i was discouraged form my month playing raider rush.
-
Pfft, you have fingers, 8 of your own and 2 of someone else's. Ask BILL where he got them from. What I have is trophies of an arrogant little brat who does not know when to be quiet. It seems, he believes himself to be better than us fancy Lords.
<Kicks Wicky and the few needles he has not plucked out yet>
Know your place, the only sound I want to hear from you is excruciating pain. Do not speak until spoken to for the rest of the day.
-
Know your place, the only sound I want to hear from you is excruciating pain. Do not speak until spoken to for the rest of the day.
You sound just like my father, and come to think of it just like my mother too!
-
Garthvader pinned to an operating board eyes up his torturer sharpening one of his many blades. Garthvader's eyes grow wide as the gaunt figure approaches with a glint of pure malice in his eyes. As a last ditch effort Garthvader vainly trys to appeal to the other kabalites watching "Please masters Deliver me from these cursed dungeons!!"
Garthvader watches the appeal turn on deaf ears as the Dark eldar just sneer and laugh at him. As the Haemonculus prepares for his work garthvader braces himself for the world of pain he is about to recieve. Garthvader doesnt feel hate or remorse for what his kin is about to do to him because he knows that if it was him he would do exactly the same and enjoy it...
-
Well this should be entertaining. (beckons Vic and Nihilistic Glee to stand by him and gives them popcorn)
-
Wicky, get me Varn Lorath's popcorn, my hands shall not be soiled in that endeavour....and if the popcorn isn't covered in some form of blood, you are obliged to use your own.
-
Wicky, get me Varn Lorath's popcorn, my hands shall not be soiled in that endeavour....and if the popcorn isn't covered in some form of blood, you are obliged to use your own.
Why me?
The nerve graft on new fingers has not taken properly yet resulting in my 3rd finger suffering with permanent rigidity and giving a permanent “Up yours sign.”
It can’t be helped, honest!
-
Prehaps I could cut it off for you then *strokes agonizer*
-
Fingers or not, get me the popcorn.
-
< steals Varn Lorath's popcorn and throws it to Cuddles >
There! Now it's gone and you can all quit squabbling over it..
Honestly, there's a massive supply of the stuff in the banquet hall, and any of you who are too out of shape to get your own can spend a few days in the arenas to get you back into shape - or killed. Either way, it'll be more entertaining. :P
Now, wicky, if those fingers aren't working properly, I guess you'll just need more surgery. The Haemonculi must be sorely out of practice...
-
I suppose we could try it again. BILL maybe out of practice, but his art shall not be questioned. I will investigate this middle finger issue at once.
A snap of the fingers and a few warriors rush forward to take Wicky away once more.
Perhaps a whole new hand, or some implement like blades shoved into a burnt stump would work...
-
(Yikes, a quick get away is necessary!) Now where did I park my +4 Skyboard that I left for just such an emergency?
-
Oh you mean the skyboard that i am now using to get my popcorn? Nope, haven't seen it *swoops off on the skyboard, cackling*
-
*Watches silently, fiddling around with a long barbed knife*
-
The doors to the throne room opened just enough for a slim figure to walk in. His face was hidden by a the hood of a cloak, but the armour that stuck through was that of an Archon, in fact to the older members of the Kabal, it seemed oddly familiar, the armour of a former leader maybe? A little dull in colouring from lack of care, but it did match the armour of the once great Archon. The mysterious figure stopped next to wickywacky1. The hood was pulled back by pale hands. All gasped at the face of the former Archon Shade.
"I can't believe you left all the security codes the same. Tisk Tisk, maybe it wouldn't be so hard to take control of this Kabal again. For now though this is all I will do." said Shade. He grabbed Wicky's left arm and held it tight. No matter how hard he struggled he couldn't break free. Shade drew his punisher, a Katana. With a quick motion he sliced wicky's left hand off and sheathed his punisher again. Without an explanation he walked out of the Kabal again.
-
< smacks Shade around with an Agoniser >
It's one thing to drop by and visit, quite another to insult my capabilities. Keep this up and I might have to do something... unpleasant...
-
The young warrior stood before his Archon, weilding his long barbed knife in a fighter's stance, his gaze directed towards the stranger that had insulted his master. He knew not who he was due to his sheer inexperience, but he cared not. He stood ready to fight the new comer, his dark eyes filled with bitter loathing and discontent. Judging for the stranger's clothing and the weapon he wielded, Xuchilbara (my character) wouldn't last more than a few moments at best, but he would be damned before he ever allow someone to harm his lord.
-
Shade licked some blood off of his cheek from the agoniser. He winked at Incubilord and said, "Remember, I am the one who orginally hired you as the Haemonculus. If I wanted to insult you I would do it much more subtley. Not that that was always my thing. You know as well as I, all I ever wanted was power, and I would take it through brute force more then naught."
-
It seems our youngling will have to learn to fight with a new appendage after all.
Xuchilbara, please escort Wicky to the haemonculus, speed is not of the essence however. I do enjoy his screams.
-
The young warrior bowed towards his Archon, and then to his Sybarite. "Yes sir..."He muttered with a cold smile, taking his knife and ramming it into Wicky's back, but making sure it didn't hit anything vital. He twisted it slightly, making sure Wicky screamed as much as possible for his commander. He then finally dragged wicky down the dungeon by the knife, the barbed edges keeping the blade embedded into his body. The warrior slipped the knife cleanly from Wicky and kicked him tummbling down the stairs into the Haemonculus' quarters. He wiped the blood cleanly off on his loin cloth, sheathing it back before standing by His Sybarite's side at attention.
-
*nods approvingly*
-
Go on, get the page count up on my expense – I don’t mind.
I’ll just bleed all over you, hope you all slip on the blood (but it could be another OH&S issue to deal with so I had better mop it up myself, damn it!)
-
For six weeks I'll be gone during weekdays but I'll be around on weekends
-
( My own Sybarite is leaving me? How sad... :'( )
"Good luck to you sir..." The young warrior said in his soft voice as he gave a small bow of respect before he returned to his task of cleaning Wicky's blood from his armor.
-
Im back for now *dumps new slaves on the floor*
-
Sorry for double post
Found a computer room with internet accses at summer uni so I can keep in touch now. :)
-
It's good to have you back on active duty.
-
Soooo... am i off the hook yet? have i served my time in the haemonculis's chambers long enough?? all this stabbing and popcorn stealing going on in here i feel kinda vunreble chained to this table with surgical blades to my right and Nihilistic Glee with his big knife to my left. :-[ ;D
-
Hmm...
I dunno, the entertainment value would be sorely missed... :P
-
Yes it would
-
Hmm, maybe a new high pitched whiny voice box? Perhaps that would teach him to talk less. I'm sure we could alter it, perhaps an experiment with a control of some kind to raise or lower it, even mute. That would be an experiment.
With your permission my liege, it will be so.
-
Oh to be a Super Sonic Soprano Sybarite!
But don’t you find that the new issue mesh armour they hand out these days rides up enough in the crotch area to produce this much sought after effect?
Just try jumping off your Raider at the speed of death and see exactly what sort of wedgie your spiky one piece jump suit will give you!
And they all thought it was just a battle cry – well it is a ‘cry’ and it is definitely high pitched but Lord it smarts.
(Still I suppose it’s better than a Tau rapid Insertion Force sneaking up on your rear armour!)
-
The young Warrior stood quietly beside his Sybarite, His lips curved tosick cold smile. A soft chuckle escaped his lips as the long barbed knife danced about so fluiently within his hands.
-
Sorry to be passive for so long, guys, but I've been a bit busy. Not only did I have to torture yet another assassin, but I also had to coordinate a rescue mission to further my twisted goals.
To keep things interesting, I've returned with a new Warrior - everybody say "nice to beat you" to Iwasfrozen.
And, in celebration of our newest member, I shall free garthvader from the torture chambers. True, this will deprive us of some modest entertainment, but the young one has proven himself durable enough to survive your company. You may congratulate him on his promotion or continue the hazing as you see fit. Let none say that I am not a generous master.
In other news, I've decided that 5ed isn't nearly as scary as people make it out to be. A proper table still provides a fair few hiding spots.
Also, I found out after the fact that I've now played Inquisitor by proxy (without even knowing it). I'm so cool that my people enslave mon-keigh without me doing anything at all. ;D
-
Nice to beat you Iwasfrozen *beats him*
-
Ouch !
*Winces in pain*
Thanks for the warm reception ;D
-
Woohooo no longer the nooby to the team. *Garthvader rubs his wrists where the haemonculi shackles had held him and celebrates by throwing a rock at Iwasfrozen. * ;D
anyway welcome iwasfrozen pleased (and relived) to have you here.
-
A new jester? I guess the old was getting a tad too far broken in. *backhands Iwasfrozen*
Nice to beat you. Seeing as our customary greetings and salutations of a nice drink has led to many an unfortunate accident, accept this blood red shirt as a shining example of our gratitude for your undying service.
-
"Welcome, Boy.." He said softly with a cold, cruel smile as he Jammed a small throwing knife into the new guy's back. "Enjoy your stay.... While it lasts..."
-
I thought you'd all like to know where you stand, so to speak...

They had both been on the chopping block anyways.
-
Why am I not up there? :(
Just curious.
-
You're right there, two under wickywacky1. Did you miss it? 8)
And, if you don't buy that one, it's because I was testing you.. :P
-
Xuchilbara slightly grummbles beneath his breath as he sees his new Sybarite is WickyWacky, the guy he had so recently stabbed and beaten to a pulp.
-
Xuchilbara slightly grummbles beneath his breath as he sees his new Sybarite is WickyWacky, the guy he had so recently stabbed and beaten to a pulp.
So give us a kiss big boy and suck it up!
-
I suggest using teeth. :o
-
Jim Kreig (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=40947) shall also now be joining us. He'll be joining Nihilistic Glee / Xuchilbara in wicky's Raider, to keep things interesting.
Anybody poisoning him on the first day will answer to me, personally. After that... ;D
-
Thanks Incubilord but I grew up in the outback of Australia and I look after myself. So anyone who trys to poison me (I emphasize try) will answer to the disembowler blades.
Jim ;)
P.S. Bring it.
-
Welcome aboard, you will find that Raider is a little light. So nice of you to bring those blades into the Kabal, I am sure they will be put to good use.
If I might suggest, one of the several silent members to practice on?
No fun taking away our initiation rights. But knowing my master this means we can poison him after someone poisons him first? Sounds like a cruel thing to do, I call dibs.
-
Any one in particular? (looks meaningfully at wickwacky)
-
Not really. I just gave you the first 24 hours without a poisoning attempt.
Probably.
At least, not one that would get caught... :P
I didn't grant protection from any other form of hazing, either...
-
Stuff posioning G.vader cuts off a slaves foot and hurls it at jim. the slave whos foot it was starts an awful scream and gets backhanded by g.vader laughing maniacly G.vader skips merrily off...
Different i know. :D welcome to the boards
-
I think I enjoyed the previous introduction so I'm going to do it again. Nice to beat you Jim Krieg *beats him * welcome to the Raging Beast Kabal ;D
-
Thanks Incubilord but I grew up in the outback of Australia and I look after myself. So anyone who trys to poison me (I emphasize try) will answer to the disembowler blades.
Jim ;)
P.S. Bring it.
Ah, the veritable apprentice Crocodile Dundee of Commoragh.
Just can't wait for him to flourish his blades in my direction and say "Now that's a knife!"
To which I would respond "Now this is a Blaster!"
Kinda like the Dark Eldar version of rock, scissors, paper.
-
Don't worry I don't do that *stabs wickywacky1* Im more of a man from snowy river man (hence the name).
-
Yes, I am no longer the noob !! ;D
*happy slaps Jim Kreig *
-
I think you younglings have too much energy not being channeled into the right direction. Perhaps a trip to the arena should be in order. Sign these forms with your own blood, note the fine print where all your possessions are left to the Kabal. All pretty standard.
<We should have an arena game in the Kabal>
It seems our rival Kabals are not on par, so perhaps a bit of unfriendly competition?
-
This is just an idea but if they wanted to make coups more interesting how about they make it a battle in which the sybarite and his supporters against the usurper and his supporters? as a suggestion *shifty eyes*
-
Im working on a nice little RP for the Kabal as master Incubi Lord approved. should be up and ready before september.
-
(Here is my coup against WickyWacky1 and my rise to the rank of Sybarite. Hail to the Kabal of the Raging Beast!)
(the song's rhythem is taken from the song 'favorite things' from The Sound of Music)
http://search.playlist.com/tracks/These%20Are%20A%20Few%20Of%20My%20Favorite%20Things%20Sound%20of%20Music
A cruel smile curled upon the young warrior's pale lips as he leaned lazily against the wall. On and on and on his Sybarite, 'WickyWacky1', would talk as he sat so confidently in his chair. It sickened him how pathetic his Sybarite really was. But that would change all too soon… His eyes gently flickered to his left and then to his right, his gaze met by the other warriors who all gently nodded in confirmation. The warrior then gently unsheathed his long barbed blade leaning in against his Sybarite. “Eyes without sight… Maggot filled corpses…” He sang softly in a rather melancholy tone as slow slid the blade along ‘WickyWacky1’s’ eyes, relieving him of his sight. The Sybarite screamed in pain as he placed his hands against the long gash across his face, the warrior still singing his macabre tune. “Mountains of skulls that ascend into heaven… Scraps of red flesh that is splayed all around…. These are a few of my favorite things….” He shoved his Sybarite onto the ground, stabbing his knife between ‘WickyWacky1’s’ shoulder, using it to slowly drag the pathetic sight along the ground. “Crucified bodies….. Hearts that aren’t beating…. Killing and burning then maiming the bodies…. Butchering all from the young to the old…. These are a few of my favorite things…. “ He yanked the man up to his feet, taking him into his arms and performing a mockery of the waltz as he pulled him towards the open doors of the Homunculus’ dungeon. “Cut them deep….. Bleed them dry…. And then hang them high…. I simply remember my favorite things…. And then I won’t feel….. So sad…..” He ended his song as he released ‘WickyWacky1’, slicing his throat with his blade just before his body tumbled down the innumerable flight of stairs and into the darkness.
-
That was a hair excessive.
Do you have any idea how long it will take the Haemonculi to grow him new eyes?
:P
-
And I just sat and did nothing whilst listening to the sadists rap crap version of “Sound of Music?”
More like I lulled you into a false sense of security by feigning a total lack of recognition and you seemed to fail to notice the Blaster that slid into your exposed ribs from under my crossed arms.
When you finally peal yourself off the far wall you may like to take a breath mint as it smells like my Archons backside!
*Wicky saunters over to the upstarts fallen knife, examines the fine workmanship of the handle, the delicately etched runes on the blade and muses to himself “Such a waste of a good weapon.”
Instantly he reverses the weapon with downward flick and without hesitation he rams the full length of it into the top of opposing Sybarites skull, snapping the handle off with a palm strike to ensure that the embedded spike is never retrieved.*
Two hairs excessive?
-
Now, now, wicky, he gathered the support and couped you by the rules, and that means that he had to write a narrative for it. Let's not get too worked up when you could just plot your brutal revenge. ;)
And how would you know what my backside smells like? Never mind that, I don't want to know. :o
Rest assured that I neither aid nor hinder coups on general purpose, and therefore you have just as much opportunity to retake your position as he had to steal it. You'll be a Warrior again soon enough, so you might as well start your scheming now.
Besides, I would assume that the Warriors who supported his coup would have grabbed you for the first part...
-
Why thankyou my lord ;)
I am quite honored that you were pleased with my little tune.
-
You do realize I just encouraged him to try to stab you back, right? ;D
-
I realize that my lord. and thats the fun part! ;D
-
Oh happy days are here again! *stabs wickywacky1 and Iwasfrozen*
-
So tell me my Lord, who exactly are my men? :D *pulls knife out again*
-
Since you took wicky's place, you would be expected to keep
archondav (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=11604) and Jim Kreig (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?action=profile;u=40947) in check. It might be a good idea to find that one for yourself next time, though - if they realize that you don't know who's looking to stab you in the back...
-
"Yes.... True... Reguardless." The newly appointed Sybarite motioned for his two warriors to stand before him, examining the two for a moment before he spoke again. "Go fetch more slaves for the Kabal! Our dungeons are getting rather baren at the moment, and I really would enjoy to give Wicky some company...." His pale lips curled into a twisted smile, his fingers gently wrapping against the arm of his chair. "I actually believe I will do so myself..." He rose to his feet and slowly walked out of the room.
-
As I said Iv'e been away for awhile on Summer Uni ( All other students and Teachers are being transferd from my Strike Cruiser to your slave chambers as we speak my lord) and I see Ive missed some sport. My congratulations Glee it seems youv'e learned the lessons of our people well, and offed one of my rivals at the same time. You were always a promising underling, but never forget that I am just as willing to kill you as anyone else here, and I will be watching from the shadows.....
-
whats up brothers and sisters of the true kin? I am hereby giving in my resignation from the DE POC. The slow poisons I have endured from all of your blades over the years have dulled my senses. I fear that my weakness will bring me inexorably to the operating tables of our Haemonculi. Rather than have that happen I will take my leave from this Kabal to forge my own path of debauchery, destruction and slaughter across the galaxy.
I humbly request that my name be stricken from our Kabal's list by our current Archon.
Thanks: ~Arnold Schwarzenegger's right bicep~
-
Well, now, that was to be expected.
One little coup and the higher-ups get jumpy - something about not liking the Haemies' idea of fun...
Stab you later, 'Bicep. ;)
Okay, so we now have an open slot for Sybarite (the name will be removed when I update with the new Sybarite).
In a time-honored tradition, I will now give you all the chance to vote - which I reserve the right to overrule on a whim because I'm me. :P
Members of the Kabal may speak up in favor of who will be promoted now.
-
vote on the board or vote by pm?
-
Whichever tickles your fancy. PM me secret votes, or post your vote here if you want it known.
-
GarthVader

Jim Kreig

Do we have a colour scheme? I'm repainting my Dark Eldar and am planing to do them in the Black Heart scheme (the turquise trim one achived by mixing scorp green and enchanted blue in the absance of emerald green) nut I would like to use our Kabal's scheme if we have one. While were talking of such things, what happend to renaming the Kabal?
-
Thanks Glee okay Ive got two questions
1. Can I vote for myself?
2. What page of the dex is the combat drug dispenser on?
*grins evilly*
-
My take on our scheme: Red armour with orange/ gold/ yellow trim. Raging Beast suggests to me fiery colours. Is this acceptably my lord?
-
Do we have a colour scheme? I'm repainting my Dark Eldar and am planing to do them in the Black Heart scheme (the turquise trim one achived by mixing scorp green and enchanted blue in the absance of emerald green) nut I would like to use our Kabal's scheme if we have one.
Well, the Dark Court (my DE) doesn't have a uniform color scheme because that would be too... militant for my liking.
Rathnard's color scheme (the Raging Beasts is actually the name of HIS Kabal) is currently unavailable, too (my net-fu reveals that his photobucket pics are no longer available).
We could make one for the new name, but I don't know that it would be red and gold (unless we're talking a deep, blood/gore red)...
If we do settle on a Kabal color scheme, I'll paint up one of my Warrior squads to match it. I'm cool like that. ;)
While were talking of such things, what happend to renaming the Kabal?
Over to Primal Doom?
There was little response to it, so I left it be for a bit.
Plus, a Kabal renaming requires some modly work, and I currently know that ollieb - the mod who does most the CoA work - currently has his plate full. I'll pester him for a new thread over a name later.
Can I vote for myself?
Yes.
And, as the only non-Sybarite to vote, with two votes for you and 1 against, you've got the job - at least, until somebody coups you...
The title change will take a little while, possibly another 3 weeks, due to other Archon and mod duties which must be sorted out, but you've got it. And, hey, since you'll need somebody to keep in check, I'll let Wicky out of the dungeons...
-
Primal Doom is to be our new name? I think that brooding couours are needed... in that case would dark blues, greens or browns be acceptable for my forces? As a subsect of the Kabal of course (unless it happens to be the scheme we chose)
-
Dark blues and greens sound good, but I've never been fond of brown for a main color.
Now I'm tempted to do a unit of tiger-patterned Warriors for my tribute to the Primal Doom, though - maybe complete with a large-toothed helmet conversion for the Sybarite (and claws for the Agoniser - oh, this could be fun)...
Bright, cheerful death has always been my style.
And, yeah, Primal Doom is our new name. Nobody said anything against it, and I think it both encompasses the Raging Beasts and takes the Kabal in a pleasant direction. Plus, it's a combination of words the membership suggested.
I might be working on a new sig-banner, too.
Feel free to continue to Rage, guys.
-
I'll let Wicky out of the dungeons...
Gee, thanks boss but I think that its safer in there!
-
Oh, come on, Warriors don't get couped. You'll be relatively safe as a simple squad member...
-
After much thought, I will use black as a main scheme, with liche purple for trim, and dark greens for additional details (hair, lenses, icons....) I was always fond of lurking in the shadows...
-
ATTN: Although I am only a craftworlder, I have been asked by one of your sybarites to give you a message.
It seems one Nihilistic Glee has been unable to come lately. This is due to a shared issue between us both. The cruel disaster known as Hurricane Ike has taken out his internet access, and as such he will be gone for an indefinite period of time.
-
While I would normally throw a non-member in the dungeons for daring to enter this domain, your service to my people is an acceptable excuse - this time.
Convey our sympathies to the stranded kin, though I make no assurance that he won't be stabbed in the back here before he gets things back under control. 'Tis a vicious game we play.
-
The Sybarite silently strolled into the chamber, dragging in more slaves. He slowly bowed toward his archon and dracons, smiling coldly "I appoligize for my tardyness my Lords... And I appreciate that you did not throw my associate into the dungeons..." He then dropped 7 unconscious imperial slaves upon the ground next to his seat then sat down, resting his heals upon the pile of bodies. "Now then, where were we?"
-
Well, we were discussing the name change to "Primal Doom" and a possible Kabal color scheme for it.
Jim Kreig seems to have gotten the job you nominated him for, but his title is still pending while other issues are dealt with. All these twisted politics slow things down at times...
Oh, and I considered having your friend for dinner.
Not as a guest - as the main course... ;D
-
Ohhh Eldar wouldnt go down that well. They are all bone and skin. We need a more healthier huskier meal, take Ogryn for example. we can just fatten him up with some expired slaves and hel be ready to eat in no time. ;D
we wouldnt want to waste such a meal so i guess we could stew up the eldar messenger... :-\
-
That would be a bad idea. if we cook ogryn or eldar or human ect. we'll just have an infestation of mandrakes. Then we'll have to pay an exterminator to get rid of them.
-
No, that's what happens if you leave the fresh kills laying about instead of making sure they're fed into the waste processors...
-
Hi guys been away for a while with no access to a computer I hate queensland, anyway thx for the promotion I'll do my best to torture and maim in Incubilords name.
-
Thats good ta hear lad.
-
*pokes with a stick* Is it dead? ???
-
This forum has a never ending ‘We’ll be back roll.’
So I would worry too much about it.
But I assume that our Archon is off fighting battles on some distant planet and kinda forgot about us for the moment.
-
I never forget about you lot of backstabbing rage-machines. I just find various hiding places and watch how you react to my 'absence' for the entertainment value.
-
Holiday season, souls being harvested for the Archon, you know how it is.
-
I'm still here too. I just don't talk much outside this thread...
-
Iv'e recently found a dark elf name generator to try to find a more dark eldary name so just to let you all know Im changing my username to Sybarite Fokezir. So in charachter Iv'e been fooling you all along... well back to the shadows I go... *vanishes into the shadows*
-
Shouldn't it be "Foqezyr?" ;)
-
y instead of i sounds better I suppose.. or not... I'll have a think *pops back into shadows*
-
I apologise for double posting lord but... *pokes thread with a stick" I think it's starting to decompose sir....
-
You think the thread for DE members to talk about whatever they want without need for a purpose is failing, so you change your name to "Cuter?"
I hereby accuse you of contibuting to the decline (and, being the Archon, I'm automatically right ;D), and charge you with the task of coming up with a cool enough name that others feel the need to rename themselves to compete.
:P
-
you change your name to "Cuter?"
That'll teach me to post at 11pm :P
I'm not sure I spelled it right but I pronounce it za-lah-rys tell me if i'm wrong please.
-
There's no 'wrong' spelling per se, only that the first lacked the traditional odd characters of many DE names. Xalahrys seems a fine and Eldary name. I might swap tha 'ah' for a 'u' - just to shorten it and avoid the soft 'h,' mind you - but that's really an aesthetic choice.
-
Thanks
-
I'm going up against a chaos force next week any suggestions for my list Ive got:
archon on JB
4x RJB
20x warriors
and a raider...
Oh and a dracon with 5 incubi
-
Well, with such limited supplies you're hard-pressed for options in a larger game.
I mean, if I were to simply point all that up, it would probably be:
Reaver Archon (w/ Punisher, T. Helm, Drugs, Shadow Field, Plasma G.) = 172
Dracon (w/Agoniser and Pistol, Drugs, Plasma) = 88
- 5 Incubi, Raider = 180
2x Sniper Squad = 200
4 Reavers, 2 Blasters = 120
Total = 760
As much as I hate to give up a Lance weapon, I'd drop a Blaster from the Reavers to get to 750. This would give you two fast assault teams in the Dracon's Raider and the Archon's Reaver squad. Meanwhile, you'd have the 'traditional' anchor of two Sniper Squads to fill your Troops requirements. It has fair potential.
If you wanted to stretch towards 850, you'd end up adding Blasters and Sybarites with Agonisers and Plasma to both the Sniper Squads, plus Plasma to the Incubi - add another 86 points to reach 846. You're not too far into the sup-optimal options, but it's getting a little carried away to add a ton of assault options to your sit-and-shoot anti-tank squads.
So, what size of game are you playing?
-
He's not sure yet but probably a small combat patrol or something.
-
Hmm... Combat Patrol is trickier...
Since you're not required to run an HQ choice, how about using the Reaver Lord as a Succubus for your squad?
2x Sniper Squad = 200
5 Reavers, 2 Blasters, Succubus (w/ Punisher, T. Helm, and Plasma) = 188
Toss on a Goblet of Spite and Haywire Grenades for filler that might prove useful, and you're at 397.
-
What's wrong?
What's WRONG?
You asked for possible army list advice, I gave some, and you never responded. You didn't even post "Yeah, I went with something completely different, and here's what happened..."
Nothing!
Seriously, though, many forum-goers suffer a lull in activity in the November-December period. Turkey-day and Santa Claws (yes, that spelling was intentional) keep people busy.
-
Or the complete lack of games here lately. I swear the only thing I have had to grasp onto is a tidbit in a webcast from Jes Goodwin on the DE being a year or two away. But, more plastics and that does not mean they won't be released ala orks and some come out later.
-
Hi,
I am not sure if this is “Kabal worthy” news but it could generate a few more replies here than normal (which wouldn’t be toooo hard.)
Considering that I don’t play that much and I have a fairly large army that is in need of painting, I have got the painting bug back again with a vengeance!
This was brought upon by lifestyle changes (as in both my kids are now in the work force and need little attention anymore) and has dictated that I now have more time to devote to the task of burning my eyeballs out under a bright lamp whilst holding a brush and simultaneously yelling out to the wife when dinner is ready “I will be there in a minute, only have two more to finish. ”
So many models, and so little time.
I have gone down the seemingly suicidal path of firstly collecting over 5000 points, mostly second hand from Ebay, then stripping, converting, re-basing and undercoating absolutely everything Chaos black. This results in the painting job from hell needed to finish them but the aim here was theoretically for consistency, as in doing the colour scheme all at once. Hmmmm.
In practise it results in boredom, just you try doing 60 bayonets, then 60 bases, then 60 shoulder pauldrons etc, etc….. Your mind wanders onto “I just might do a bit on that Talos over there,” or “I think I will log onto the net and start an argument with IncubiLord,” - doing painting en masse really is more of a mind discipline more than a physical chore.
Then comes the task of housing all that you have purchased into a suitable container so that the wife can’t possibly calculate the enormous expense of it all in one visual pass, the excuse of providing transportation seemed secondary the immediacy of this core issue believe me!
So I suppose that I could post some pics when I am done and actually get some game play in with them for once.
So, has anyone else suffered the ‘collect them all‘ syndrome before they have lifted a brush in anger?
Talk soon.
-
Yes, more than once.
Remmeber, don't aim for 60. Go for 15 or 20, but not 60. You will die if you do 60. I guarantee it.
-
He is used to dying or the pain at the very least. I wish I painted a theme army now over squads of the same color. I can tell my units apart easily, but it sure is a pain when you change editions and need more or less bodies in a unit.
-
The problem that I am now facing is that ALL the army is now looking the same and although it looks impressive on the table it’s a bugger to tell units apart, especially in multiple combats.
So, yeah I feel the pain!
Anyone go for the converted Falcon as a Ravager here?
Mine looks like the twin bladed Dark Eldar push dagger when viewed from above and is my ‘piece de resistance.’
-
Actually, I suffered from heavy criticism of my painting when I was about 11 years old, and I now dislike that aspect of the hobby. I'll game with unprimed models when my opponents let me get away with it.
Now I have thousands of points of DE, thousands of points of Orks (I think - I haven't actually pointed the whole lot up), thousands of points of Marines (somewhere over 2000, I don't keep track), thousands of points of Tyranids, thousands of points of Lizardmen, and some fair-sized Orc&Goblin and Vampire-Counts armies. Most of it needs painted. Some of that mass of models needs built.
The only thing that ever seems to motivate me to paint anymore is when I want to participate in a tourney that requires painting be 'up to a tabletop standard' - getting those three colors on the models that I'll use is about as much work as I'll ever do - but one of those colors is an ink wash, so the models come out looking simple but finished.
That said, I find painting to be mindless work. Since it occupies the body but not one's thoughts, I usually like to have a distraction of some sort to ease the boredom. Music, conversation, or a TV show that you don't care about the visuals from works best for me.
-
I too find painting ‘mindless work’ so the temptation to flick on the computer behind me, log onto 40K Online and join in on some rules argument on the net over the many and varied use of the word ‘the’ in sentence is hard to resist sometimes as it is sooo much more interesting.
The thing that I seem to enjoy the most with painting is taking a second hand basket case of a model, stripping it back and reglorifying it again with fresh ‘thin’ coats of paint.
Honestly, the amount of mini’s that I have bought already painted that seem to have suffered the horrors of the single dip method into an undiluted can of paint is incredible!
I am no great Picasso but at least my models have details that are visible through their now thinner topcoats.
The biggest sin to date on a purchased second hand model has got to be gloss enamel trowelled on in one single coat, and anything that takes three applications of paint stripper and tooth brushing has just got to be plain wrong in my eyes.
I should call my Kabal “The Second Hand Warriors,” with the amount of resurrections contained in it!
(This leads to the age-old question of stripping plastic models and to date I have found absolutely no method that deserves merit, they all erode detail to the point of despair.)
Cheers.
-
Brake fluid.
You can forget plastic models in it, and it won't trash them. Just use an aluminum dish to hold it...
-
Yes, that may dissolve the acrylic water based colours that go on with the topcoats but the primer is the culprit here as it chemically bonds and etches to the styrene of the mini using its solvent base as a keying agent.
I have found nothing to successfully remove this without also removing what it has bonded to, and this is usually the detail.
But I hear you ask, “Why remove the primer?”
Because often its thickness can be measured with a ruler on second hand models and unless it is removed you are just wasting your time thinking that a new splash of colour will improve things.
White metal, no problem but I personally have had little luck concerning plastic.
Anything that will dissolve the primer will also partially dissolve the model.
As a result I only purchase second hand plastic models if they are unpainted or very lightly painted so that I can recoat them again.
Thanks.
-
10 space wolf slaves to to the kabal, sorry guys the chaos player chickened out.
and how long till a mod is gonna update the titles?
-
Good question.
Hold on a minute, I'll go try giving him a kick in the ribs. Sometimes that speeds things up, but sometimes the people I'm re-titling get funny names instead.
It's a risk I'm willing to take. :P
-
does any1 know wat page the combat drug dispenser is on?
-
You know, jim, it only takes three more key-presses to write that in proper English so that everybody can read it without turning on a translation unit.
The Combat Drug Dispenser, a.k.a. Combat Drugs, is found on page 14 of the Dark Eldar codex.
-
I concur... Use proper English boy.
-
Hey, Nihilistic, are you GleefulNihilism over on D&DOG, or is there somebody with a very similar name out there looking to kill and replace you?
-
D&DOG? Never heard of it M'Lord.
-
It's a D&D forum (D&D Online Games).
My alter-ego has been playing D&D in a play-by-post format with somebody who might have been your alter ego...
-
Ah, I see. I will have to say no, I am not GleefulNihilism. Im quite sure Im much more 'interesting' than he is though. *blood soaked grin*
-
DnD eh? I play quite a bit of Living Forgotten Realms, 4.0 is not DnD really, but tactical in nature with similarities.
-
Yes, I'm stubbornly refusing to buy anything 4.0.
ArchonBjorn tried to run a 3.5 DE game over on DnDOG, but it faltered and I ended up not playing DE DnD. Being the survivable creature that I am, though, I adapted.
-
Yes, I'm stubbornly refusing to buy anything 4.0.
ArchonBjorn tried to run a 3.5 DE game over on DnDOG, but it faltered and I ended up not playing DE DnD. Being the survivable creature that I am, though, I adapted.
I miss that game... :'(
-
Let's draft Dragomyr and Nihilistic and insist that Bjorn start it back up.
-
It's 3.5e DnD, playing a group of DE who've been drawn together by the Harlequins to go off to an Exodite world and fight Evil - or, as the DE view goes, 'not us'. Generally speaking, we just declared equivalencies and moved on (a Tormentor Helm might be a hands-free crossbow, for example, while a character using Summon spells would be a Haemie using WWPs to bring in his experiments).
It started out a bit rough when we all decided to jump the DMPC Haemie, and the fact that I played a mute-ish Incubi probably didn't help, but it was pretty fun while it lasted.
Wait, what are you doing in my Kabal's thread? I should have you imprisoned for your arrogance, but you've momentarily amused me. Decisions, decisions... :P
-
I suggest we us Dark Heresy instead.
*thinks* I might be able to set something up, given enough time. Allow me a few moments to collect my thoughts please...
-
Brains and other such nonsense. /zombie
I have been executed by now, correct? Is anyone from Shade's reign still active here?
Anyway, now that I'm picking up DE again, I assume it's grotesque or nothing for the kabal.
-
And in an instant, the power blade was to Tauir's neck. The Sybarite stood there silently, as it waited for the command to slit the insolent worm's throat. " You will not insult my master... " The young Sybarite said with a low his of displeasure, fighting the urge to kill him now. " What should I do with him master?" He asked his archon, lowering his head to him in reverence.
(This is IncubiLord's Kabal, Tauir, and are you are even a member of this Kabal? If not, they your not allowed in these forums for you are not a member of the Kabal of Raging Beasts. Read the first page, Kabal members only)
-
Your Kabal?
Yep, mine. I'm the Archon, and this is my thread to monitor as I see fit.
Keep making impotent threats, and I'll lazily ask the mods to delete your posts and give you a warning for posting where you're not allowed. If you want to challenge me, you can join the CoA and try to do so as our traditions dictate.
You post in this thread fully aware that you do so in violation of site rules, knowing that you may well get in trouble with the staff when I or other members of my Kabal take offense. I allow outsiders sparing contact when they're involved with Kabal business or when I find their contributions entertaining, but this is not the norm.
For instance, I'm calling them in on Jester's post because he's intentionally violating the rules of the CoA only to ask if he can come back after fading away. A PM would have sufficed, and the comment before that was a bit uncalled-for.
Granted, I'm only in charge because people like having me here, but that's the way of things with the Dark Eldar. Power and politics go hand in hand.
Or perhaps you ddin't read the stickies? :-\
Anyways, the equivalencies were really just done as a quick aside during character creation. My sheet, for example, had "+1 Punisher (Falchion)" and "Tormentor Helm (Light crossbow)" and "Incubi Armor (Full Plate)" on it - quick and easy.
Nihilistic: I never picked up Dark Heresy because it was presented as "play the shmoes in an Inquisitor's retinue" and that interests me about as much as how clean a stranger's car is. My LGS never even bothered to get a copy in to sell. This makes it a bit problematic to play with those rules.
-
Let's draft Dragomyr and Nihilistic and insist that Bjorn start it back up.
That sounds like a plan.
Nihilistic- Incubilord already explained the count-as part pretty well.
It was actually really simple, even I, someone who has never played DnD understood it ;D.
@Tauir-Yes, really the Kabal threads are only for members of the particular Kabal. Me I'm some what special, this was once my Kabal, until I tried to fight the mods, guess what, they won.
-
*shrugs, resuming seat in a corner*
Shade- I wasn't arguing against the use of 3.5 because I didn't understand the count-as part, infact I never even mentioned it. It seems to me that you insulting my intelligence, and I do not take kindly to that...
IncubiLord- Play as the Acolytes? Psshh... I've met very few people who actually do that. Ive seen many who go off and do their own things on multiple occasions. I've been in an Ork RP, Eldar, Imperial, and even Dark Eldar. I played as a Sybarite with a power blade, splinter pistol, and xenos mesh armour. We found a nice little section in 'Purge the Unclean' that had the rules for a few Dark Eldar items.
-
Now, boys, don't start squabbling on me here - I want Zhefonyll to go out hunting again.
NG, how would you suggest running a Dark Heresy game when the players don't have access to the books? Surely it isn't so simplistic that only the DM needs the rules? And how would you say it compares to D&D?
I'm sure Shade didn't mean any offense with that comment, he's just young and excitable. :P
The real note in favor of using 3.5e D&D rules is the SRD - free, legal access to the core books for anybody involved.
-
Nihil, sorry, my memory failed for a moment, Tauir was the one who had hte problem with Blank=Blank. My apologies.
Dark Heresy seems intresting, I'll take a look at the book this weekend when I am at my LGS, I would still most likely prefer the 3.5e DnD, mainly because I have a basic grasp of what is happening.
I'm sure Shade didn't mean any offense with that comment, he's just young and excitable. :P
:P
-
I have many of the 3.5 books, and 4e is tactical movement and combat more now than ever. 3.5 has many more options and power level.
I'm not sure what the old game entailed, any link to that? I could investigate and see what I could come up with.
-
Here's where it started on 40K Online (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=144033.0), and here's where we played it to death (http://www.dndonlinegames.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4936).
It's kind of creepy how quickly I dug those out. My net-fu is strong today.
-
Just to let you know, I'm still here just that I haven't had anything to contribute, I havent gone or anything...
-
I know very little about DnD, but I'll see what I can do. I will go look them up.
-
Lots of stuff to read, 4th edition does not really deal well with post play unless you know the powers so if we did anything it would have to be open source stuff.
In any event, talk about a real Talos:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/brassscorp.htm (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/brassscorp.htm)
-
You know, I'm not a huge FW fan, but that one really is a sight.
The cables full of slaves are certainly cooler than the DE Warrior sitting in the current Talos, and the carapace would certainly fit in the DE army.
Too bad it's oversized, expensive, resin, and marketed as Chaos with a Khornate icon on the tail's carapace...
Oh, and 3.5e is certainly the way to go for online D&D.
-
Oh my :o
-
Greetings dark brethren. I came here once before, as a messenger for one of your sybarites. I feel I would not have been able to make it here alive save for a miraculous memory of my path here and the strange lack of activity in patrolling your confines. This place seems weak...you have let your guard down...
...out of rp mode, I was wondering if you guys remember your kabal system. I remember ya'lls major problem was the lack of people joining in With that in mind, you may also have noticed eldaronline has been fairly active.
So, I took the initiative to adapt the kabal battle system, found here (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=119638.0),to also allow craftworld eldar to partake in the action. If you are not frightened, I would like to see if anyone could look over the values I have tossed out and help out with the issues.
The update I have developed hasn't been formatted yet, but you can find the first draft with the bare bones here. (http://www.40konline.com/index.php?topic=160549.320;topicseen)

*pokes head in door*
Wow, quite a while since I've been in here. Guess that's why I got demoted to Warrior /sigh. Think I could've been Sybarite at least *mumble grumble*.
Ahem. As someone who tried to run the Kabal Battle system with, shall we say, limited success, I have an interest in having it kick off again. With the entire Dark Eldar board fighting on one side, we should actually have enough activity to make it work.
I'll be keeping a keen eye on this. Let me know if you need a hand!
-
*steps out of shadows right behind Karynos*
Just because you can't see us dosen't mean were not here,, you might remember the right path, but you don't remember our ways... out of the shadows we strike. By assuming we haden't noticed you and that we we were weak, you have let your own guard down. Tisk tisk.
Anyway, havent heard of the battle system in a while. Sounds fun.
-
*Steps out of the shadows behind Xalury's, holding a barbed blade to his throat* And you shall learn to respect our 'guests' boy. If you so much as lay a hand upon my informant, I will spill your blood over the floor....
As always, Im in ^^
-
Your informant should likely have presented this to the Dark Eldar in general, not simply to my Kabal. I was considering executing him for his arrogance and the insult to our defenses, but this petty squabbling amuses me. You may continue to threat each other.
-
You respect our demented kin Glee?
-
Nah, Gleeful just likes to use the Lost Kin for his own entertainment and thus keeps one as a pet. It can be amusing to do so, but some find the amount of upkeep involved to detract too much from their other pursuits.
-
*in a lightning fast movement, xalurys's hand grabs Glee's wrist*
Please remove your blade before I relive you of one or more of your vital organs. I do not apreciate being called "boy" by anyone but a superior either. The next time you insult me there will be pain involved.
-
*he smiles coldly as he slowly slipped his blade away from Xalurys' neck, and sheathed it before he wrentched his wrist out of the other sybarite's hand*
Oh, Im sure there would be, 'boy'.... But the true question is who will be the one in pain, you or I?... We'll just have to wait and see, now won't we?
-
*Sighs* More blood less threats, these younglings have much to learn.
Wistfully thinks of all the proper treatment of Wicky and a grin passes his face.
Looking around to see if anyone noticed, he watches the scene intently and ponders the litany of threats and little action.
-
If I want more “proper treatment” I will just simply post my views of the rules on the forum proper and let IncubiLord have at it!
And all this posturing is giving me a crick in the neck but at least the page count is now a healthy 27!
-
*A soft smile crawled upon Xuchilbara's pale lips as he calmly walked over to Wicky and with a flick of his blade, removed the four fingers of his left hand* And now I have a substitute for popcorn. Cannibalism is soooo delightful ^^ * happily sits back down*
-
Hey guys 7 black templar slaves for the kabal.
-
*A soft smile crawled upon Xuchilbara's pale lips as he calmly walked over to Wicky and with a flick of his blade, removed the four fingers of his left hand* And now I have a substitute for popcorn. Cannibalism is soooo delightful ^^ * happily sits back down*
Yeah, yeah stabs back, flings poo or whatever.
You just gotta pick on the small guy don’t ya now!
But on a more serious note does this Kabal have a sanctioned colour scheme at all?
If not then I suggest pink on pink to more closely match our new temporary web site.
Thoughts and feelings on this?
-
I vote we use black armor then use Wicky's blood for the secondary color :D
-
Sounds good to me
-
I was going to go with silver and blood - platter + head, you know - but I suppose black works as well... :P
-
Woot! :D
-
I vote we use black armor then use Wicky's blood for the secondary color :D
Oh so you like black and pink then!
The new official colours for the Kabal of the Raging Beasties are pink and black, great.
-
Poor Rathnard...
He shouldn't have given us his Kabal's good name to besmirch.
Especially if he'd known that it would end up with me bringing in that troublemaking Wicky for the entertainment value of his antics.
By the way, those Raging Beasts banners are greyscale and red...
-
My sig now says smething random about The Kabal of the Raging beast, if it insults the Kabal in any way it's sloganizer.net's fault, not mine, ;D and I will happily send them a splinter bomb as a gift. Primed of course.
-
*Smacks Xalurys across the face, sending him flying*
Stupid young ones, blaming things on sloganizer's and other people. And haven't you learnt anything? Splinter bombs?!
Here *sticks punisher in Xalury's hands and shoves him in a box*
I'm sending them You, now go make us proud.
-
I'll bring back slaves then, back in a while! :)
-
*chuckles softly, watching in amusement* It is good to see you Lord Dracon. I do hope your time has been well spent...
-
It's a good thing you handed him a Punisher, Synide - you forgot to put air holes in that box... ;)
-
I believe that was the point though M'lord. :P
-
I do have a compact air pack you know... you never know when our good Haemonculus might decide to test out a new poison gas. Or you know, I'm stuck somwhere without air. Anyway, thanks for the Punisher.
-
*bows to IL*
Well my lord, i don't think it would be wise to send mon'keigh a free punisher without the warrior attached to it. :)
And it is good to see you too Glee. I've been spending it really well...but, i might need to get back into raiding, my slave stores are running low...
-
My raiders have no challengers these days, I've had to save up for new shiny models.
4E dnd authoring is in my future. I have been accepted to write an adventure and get paid for it. Super stoked.
Money for the DE that might one day be worth buying new models.
-
Maybe you'll luck out and they'll abandon pen-and-paper imitations of MMO video games before your adventure gets published, and you can rework it to 3.5.
Wait, did I just say that? Yes, I suppose I did. The sad part is that there are a few good ideas in 4e that would do well to join 3.5, but making an unofficial standard for the next variation of 3.x is far more difficult than if the company itself had simply improved upon what they had.
Good for you, though, Dragomyr. Getting work making gaming material is one of the nicer jobs to have. It's not your fault they've switched to an inferior system.
-
‘Knock, knock’ – the slight pressure caused on the door to the central chamber makes it creak ajar to reveal a dark and brooding figure seated in thought upon a floating throne covered with bladed decorations…
“If I may be so bold, just a quick question here Milord, if our race is to receive new and varied entries in the foreseeable future are they to be adopted into ranking titles here on this forum?
And if so would you support this amalgamation?”
The merest arch our an eyebrow reveals that the seated Lord hears all within the room but leaves the tedious reaction of acknowledgement to his bodyguard of Incubi that constantly surround him at all times, the Master of which had just depressed a rune of activation on his Punisher that is now pointed in the direction of the recent irritation.
“Right, so I guess that’s a ‘No’, I’ll be off then – don’t bother seeing me out as I know the way. Yikes!”
Its times like this I really appreciate the run rule!
-
That's why they have Tormentor Helms, too... ;)
-
A soft chuckle escaped the silver haired sybarite, smiling coldly as he rested his cheek upon his propped hand, his other hand whirling around the deadly power blade like it were a toy. "My lord, might I ask when we shall decide the new Haemonculus. If it is soon, I would like to request my name be put down as a candidate..." He paused for a moment, gently bowing his head, in respect. "If you will permit, I believe I have already proven my worth in that catagory during my coup against Wicky..."
-
Spunk, Confidence...Not bad.
Come here and choke yourself...how torturous can you really be? :)
-
I mean no disrespect Lord Dracon, but I am a sadist... Not a masochist....
-
Anyone artistically inclined? I would like a few drawings of the scenes/encounters in my adventure. Your name would appear if you so wish.
-
I am confused. Are you asking if any of us are good at drawing? If so, Im fairly good. ^_^
-
Yep, I am authoring an adventure for 4th Edition DnD. This is for Living Forgotten Realms. I find that currently, getting players to see what is happening with just words is sometimes not enough. What I would like is to draw the scene. However, I am not very good at drawing(read I suck) and I would like some assistance in the art. You can use any tool, it does not have to be color.
I am asking if I am permitted, to tell you what I would like drawn. In your minds eye, you can see and draw it so the players understand what they see when they enter the combat/encounter.
I will have a map, and enemies in the scene, and you can use any style to portray that on one page(normal 8 1/2 X 11). I think it will help with immersion into the adventure, and a complicated terrain scene could be easier to understand.
-
I may be able to offer some assistance. :)
-
Sent you a pm with some more details.
-
The new Haemonculus? Last I checked, D4rKn3sS and -bill- occupied those positions. Of course, D4rKn3sS hasn't been online for almost two months and coups are always possible, but I've not banished anybody...
-
I see.... Verywell then....
-
I turned in the rough draft on the adventure today, now I just wait and see what changes need to be made.
Anyone seen the new DE apoc stuff yet?
-

What Apoc stuff are you talking about?
-
I thought I read something on BOLS, it could be planetstrike but I can't seem to find it now. I thought it was deepstrike kind of stuff.
Ah well, I did find the snippet where they said the sculpting and design of the minis seem to be nearing completion they said, and Phil Kelly is writing the codex.
-
I hate to break the news but that is rather old I am afraid. :(
-
Yeah, like I said, I could not find what I read the other day. Writing something from scratch tends to scramble the brain. Remembering details of various hobbies it was bound to happen as I get older :P

What Apoc stuff are you talking about?
-
Yep, see I knew I wasn't crazy. Ok, well my mind is still intact, but a bit addled I suppose :)
-
*prods with a burning stick* is it dead Jim?
-
It could be...you check it closer...
-
Wait, maybe it's just Grotesque...
-
Im not checking it closer... You check it closer. Im quite comfortable with my face being right where it is.
-
Hi all, been a while hasn't it?
-
Howdy, y'all. Miss me? hehehehe
-
I never miss. Consider yourself lucky that I recognized you whilst you snuck through the dark... :P
-
So that was you behind the curtain. No matter. I think..............
-
Well if we're all back from our summer vacations....hi all
-
There were vacations? All I did was spend the past few months encouraging young fools to gather armies of their species so that they'd be easier to harvest - not telling them the motivation, of course...
Why have you all been slacking on vacations? Did I teach you nothing? Summer is the time of sowing seeds so that the fall harvest will be rich and plentiful. You have to at least oversee the ones you put in charge of these manipulations to ensure that they don't abandon their duties. Just last week I had to torture half a dozen would-be failures back to work, and now I learn that I should have been torturing all of you?
That's it! No souls for anybody for a week - get back to work!
Oh, and welcome back.
:P
-
I love tournaments with them comes slaves so over the course of a day i got 20 slaves.
~Because I can
-
Hey, i found this site when i was looking for a DE codex update. Have found loads on here since, and so was interested in joining this Kabal. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers
-
You be wanting to speak to the Archon; IncubiLord. I'm sure we can find a place for you somewhere. My coffers have been empty lately.....
-
Ah thankyou, and how do i get hold of him? ::)
For some reason im unable to send personal messages?!?
-
You need a certain amount of posts before you gain full access to all ressources of the board.
Anyway, IncubiLord will find you sooner or later.
-
Much Appreciated.
-
I see that you have three posts.
You should be able to contact him by pm now.
Try it.
-
D4rKn3sS, tryanotherone, you're both banned from the slave pits for the weekend as punishment for your poor behavior. Honestly, I left this morsel sitting in the open for days, and nobody said, "Intruder, to the pits with you?" How well do I need to gift-wrap a potential slave for somebody to act?
You all know that he isn't allowed to post here, that he's not bothered to read the stickies if he is doing so, and that this makes him fresh meat. Easy prey. I suppose now one of you will go all paternal and want to take the newcomer under your wing? Fine, we'll add that to your punishments! Now, which of you will I assign this trouble-maker to...
;D
-
Boredom does wonderous things sometimes. And besides, ever heard of plumping before the feast?
-
Meh, no man nor beast shale ensnare I.
Tho though my own ignorance i seem to have caused some... vaguely interesting trouble, as you say. Perhaps i should continue...
-
Oh, yes please. Do so.
I would like to see the result. ;D
-
*sits casually at my chair, toying with a rusty blade* If I may comment, my lord, Jim Krieg could use a wretch of his own... I would volunteer, however I assume you wish for someone to put him in his place, not kill him my lord.
-
Less talk, more action!
-
Well, Dark Eldar are growing old, so more talk, less action seems natural.
-
It's all about the intrigue. We sit consolidating our power, letting the prey stew for a while. Then BAM! Job finished.
-
I'd also like to join.
*My Harlequin Troupe ditched me when they said all I did was party and get drunk at the plays we use to do on tour*
-
Hmm, ever since DoW: Soulstorm ended. I've been out of work.
I say, may I join?
-
Jest of Death and Tahril, if you would follow me.
A small host of elite warriors step from the shadows ensuring cooperation.
I am just taking you to see an old friend...
A raider swoops down and together the small gathering steps onto the raider. A few swift moments later, and you are rudely escorted to the Arena for a test of skill or merriment of the Archon, you are not sure which.
Here is a small trifle for one of you, the swifter or more cunning I'd wager. A small serrated knife is tossed between the two Dark Kin.
With that the cell closes and you are definitely not alone in the holding pens.
-
Greetings fellow Kabalites, miss me? ;D
I was wondering if any of you had any spacefaring experience to share with me?
Do our outmatched forces routinely get swept aside by larger, meaner ships, or do we work as intended?
I'm a bit worried that our largest ship is a cruiser...
Also i'm wondering if you have any ideas for escort conversions?
-
Xuchilbara sat upon his lesser throne in the grand hall of the Archon, chuckling softly in amusement as he watched the two impudent wretched be taken away upon the patrol Raiders. He then peered over towards the empty throne that stood at the very end of the room, set upon an elevated platform and sighed quietly. "It appears as though our master has chosen to depart from us at this time."
-
Jest, it seems we have to work togather.
A ceasefire, if you will.
*holds his hand out and then jumps for the knife on the ground*
-
This entertainment has fallen short. I am glad I had them both poisoned and they must fight for any chance of survival.
-
Woo, took my first slaves today :)
Marine lost four guys in combat with Archon and 4 Incubi, and decided to fall back, I got two slaves:)
Am modeling a trophy for the Archin's Raider to celebrate
-
I've been disturbed from my reverie in the webway...
I feel the rumblings...
The hunger for souls, racking my body...
I hear a call to slaughter and I'm very happy to oblige :)
-
Yes, first we feast on the flock of fledgelings who come running to the sounds of combat, and then we resume our raiding. It has been a long wait for the Cults to provide new toys to enslave our enemies with...
-
My Lord,
I have returned...Heard about the party, thought you might want to have both your Dracon's around ;)
Darzuk! Bring your slaves to the main court, this place needs a little sprucing up.
-
Just when you think some get lost in the webway, they come slinking back.
Finally, Dark Eldar are getting their day in the um, alleyway?
-
Playd my first test-game with the new DE - 1500 pts against Blood Angels
Disappointed with Lelith, Reavers, Cronos's shooting.
Still looking at using: Wyches, Raiders, Cronos without upgrades
Undecided on: Haemies.
I shall share details in two weeks' time.
-
Darzuk! Bring your slaves to the main court, this place needs a little sprucing up.
*bows*
As you command my lord. Shall I have them suitably prepared first, or would you rather have the fun yourself? ;D
-
Codex ordered, warriors, wytches and a new raider. Sorry to admit that I've been playing Deathwing during the summer but they will have to go back in the cupboard now.
Study time, then slaves
-
Disappointed with Lelith, Reavers, Cronos's shooting.
Lelith: No Agoniser = Lots of attacks that don't do much damage. With ~10 attacks on the charge, I had her do something like 5 wounds to enemy models over 3 rounds of CC before she was offed. For her price, I could have had two Succubi with Agonisers (and Combat Drugs).
Reavers: I doubt these were playtested this edition. They're that bad. The only way I think they might be playable is constantly Turboboosting for flyby attacks and the accompanying Invulnerable saves - but their flyby attacks don't cut it against SMs.
Cronos's shooting: It's a joke, really. You'd think that Ordinance blast would do something, but it's unlikely to kill a SM if the enemy unit is spaced well and therefore has trouble giving any Pain Tokens.
Still looking at using: Wyches, Raiders, Cronos without upgrades
Wyches are still good, but not nearly as good as they were. I miss my blasters against these SMurfs.
Raiders are still a good transport, but I don't think the cost-increase is really justified.
Cronos without upgrades is decent because it Runs and can usually hit CC by Turn 3. Like the Talos, it hits pretty hard and is pretty durable, and it can farm Pain Tokens. I've not had much luck with it yet, though, and the lower Strength seems to be a death-sentence for it should the thing hit CC with a dreadnought. Talos may be better in spite of not farming Pain Tokens.
Undecided on: Haemies.
They're far too expensive to buy just for the Pain Tokens, but not good enough in CC for an Agoniser to be worth it. I'm not fond of the 1-use weapons, but that's where most the hitting-power of the Haemies lies.
-
Just to let you the Kabal know, in the first post of this thread, the banner picture no longer shows up (Dead link or something.)
-
Most of our links work. Checked mine, appears fine, so maybe use the link we have.
Bill and Incubilord has his working on this page as well.
-
This is Jim Kreig, sadly can't access my old account so posting on this one.
-
Hey Jim, what do you need?
-
Still the same old faces I see?
I am sure that this ................ problem can be fixed.
-
Quick detour to the repair shop, now 3 extra bits in my heart / arteries courtesy of BMW ( would you believe they make stents for blocked arteries; life is stranger than fiction sometimes- not with go faster stripes though LOL). Many thanks to the UK National Health Service ( yes its good and its free).
Now where are those slaves hiding?
-
Glad you are back up and running. The slaves are hiding for sure, absorbing the new rules and putting some stuff together myself.
