The Cult of the Impaled are a Dark Eldar Wych Cult.^[1]

Overview

The Cult of the Impaled is led by the Succubi known as the Bloody Baroness and, like all Wych Cults, they have their fair share of allies in Commorragh. Chief among them are the Black Lotus, a conclave of Incubi who fight alongside Cult of the Impaled in return for their aid in killing an Eldar Striking Scorpion named Torhaedril. The Black Lotus seek to claim Torhaedril's Spirit Stone for themselves, but why they wish to possess it remains a mystery and the Bloody Baroness has not asked; she deems it a cheap price to pay for the Black Lotus' excellent services.^[1]

The Shadows of Shaa-dom are a sextet of Mandrakes, who are also allies of the Impaled. During the Dark Eldar's persecution of the Imperium world Thaxos, the Shadows terrorized an Imperial Guard company of Valhallans for an entire week. By the time the Wyches of the Impaled arrived, the Guardsmen were so harrowed by their visions that they barely put up a fight.^[1] The Impaled also have a captured Imperial Knight, known as The Forgotten Knight, who they have mind-slaved and is now under the Cult's control.^[3]
