Help me name an all-female group of mercenaries

[Hactarcomp]

The Eumenides. (Greek for "The Kindly Ones", which is what you would call the Erinyes(the Greek name for the Furies) if you didn't want to attract their attention and anger.)

Also, check out the wikipedia page on mythological women warriors. "Daughters of x" or "Sisters of x" with many of those names might work.

excellent stuff - XP awarded.

I was thinking of some monsters that are generally considered female as well: Banshee, Medusa, Harpy, Siren, Nymph, Dryad, Lamia, etc. as well.

The Black Widows is a name I've used for a female mercenary band before.

Desperate Goodwives

Oh that's good...

La Belle Dames sans Mercy

How about The Ladykillers?

What are the actual names of the members of the mercenary company? It might be possible to cobble together something that plays on the names of one or more of the members and thereby make a reference to their femininity, which reference we wouldn't ever guess without such information.

Some examples of what I mean:
"Melissanizers" if their leader is named Melissa.
"Catherine the Group" if more than one of them has that name.
"Beverlynch Mob" if Beverly Lynch is a member.

(. . . and so on.)

Also, do they have signature weapons or tactics?

The leader is named Keren

They're infantry types who fight with long sword & shield.

Right now, I'm leaning towards Sisters of the Sword, or else Stalwart Sisters or something along those lines. Or, maybe the Stalwart Sisterhood.

There is your name, The Sisterhood of the Shield & The Sword or the Sisters of the Shield & Sword

"The Veil" is the name of an all female adventuring group I used to use.

They would clean out a dungeon before the PCs got there, basically rivals.

And The Veil had a reputation as efficient mercenaries. They got the name because a veil across their face was the only acknowledgement of their gender.
They usually keep the veil dropped when in town...but the reaction from the PCs when they met them in a bar in an adjoining town for the first time, and a fight started and suddenly five females drew weapons and raised veils...and the NPCs ran screaming...priceless...several PCs ran also.

Ahh...old gaming days....how I miss you so....
