Help me name an all-female group of mercenaries

[billd91]

A friend had one in his campaign world called the Nymphs of Hades.

 

[NewJeffCT]

Lunatic Sisterhood (all armed with scimitars & sickles as symbols of their membership)

The Dirty Coven

La Belle Dames sans Mercy

The Mercy Nary Company

beauties without mercy has potential.

 

[NewJeffCT]

The Crimson Lillies

Or a little more tongue in cheek: The Hearty Housewives or just The Hearty Wives.

Maybe Silk and Steel.

Even The Thorns of a Dozen Roses, or The Bouquette's Thorns.

Perhaps The Cat's Claws.

The Widows of War.

Mother Bears.

The Breathtakers.

The Striking Sisterhood.

good list - I like the Striking Sisterhood and Thorns of a Dozen Roses

 

[NewJeffCT]

The Solid Doves (a pirate band in my Iron Kingdoms game, on the good(?) ship Victorious Secret).

The Crows of Morrigan. (Alt. The Hounds/Bitches of Morrigan.)

The Sisters of Ceridwen.

The Empty Womb. (Assumes sterility.)

The Consanguine. (Those who bleed together.)

Hippolyta's Chosen.

The Choosers of the Slain.

The Bows of Diana (assumes archers).

Hope that those help.

The Auld Grump

good list - the Crows/Bitches of Morrigan is good, and Solid Doves is definitely female.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Storm Crows / Harpies / Maidens

Riders of the Storm

Sisterhood of Steel

 

[NewJeffCT]

Storm Crows / Harpies / Maidens

Riders of the Storm

Sisterhood of Steel

I think the Storm Crows are in A Song of Ice & Fire.

I was thinking of Harpies as well, but the same series also has The Sons of the Harpy and then I'd be thinking their leader was Hizdahr zo Loraq

 

[Wepwawet]

Destiny's Orchid

Spice Flails

Scimitar Sisters

Katanarama

 

[Vascant]

The Housewives of Greyhawk

 

[NewJeffCT]

Scimitar Sisters sounds promising - could also change that to Sword Sisters, Shield Sisters or Spear Sisters, depending on their weapons.

Or, even Sisters of the Sword & Shield.

And, since they're a large group, they could be the Stalwart Sisterhood of Soldiers, and have 3 or 4 companies within: The Sisters of Sword & Shield; The Sisters of the Spear; Sisters of the Scimitar; and Sisters of the Sling

 

[steeldragons]

Not to get into a whole "gender thing" here, but out of curiosity, why does the fact that they are an all female company demand that their name somehow convey that? Their mercenaries, right? YOu want a name that is going to impress and/or intimidate potential employers and potential foes.

That said...take one of the first column and one from the second, add an "of" in between or flip 'em, mix n' match til you find one you like:

Storm ---------- Women
Thunder -------- Maidens
Lightning ------- Sisters
Sword --------- Daughters
Shield ---------- Riders
Spear ---------- Runners
Blade ---------- Rangers
Blood ---------- Knights
Pain ------------ Company
Fast ------------ Sorority
Fleet ------------ Phantoms
Speed ---------- Clouds
Strong ---------- Shadows
Hard ------------ Ladies
Dark ------------ Cloaks

Good luck. Let us know what you come up with.
