The Kabal of the Flayed Skull is a Dark Eldar Kabal.

Overview

In terms of sheer military power and numbers, the Flayed Skull is second only to the Kabal of the Black Heart. The Kabal's leader, Vraesque Malidrach, is a renowned master of airborne warfare; as such, the Flayed Skull has a large aerial presence, and Dark Eldar pilots are eager to align themselves with it.^[4] The Kabal has a large fleet of Voidraven Bombers and Razorwing Jetfighters,^[2][7] and numerous Hellions, Reaver pilots, and Scourges have allied themselves with the Flayed Skull.^[7]

The Kabal itself makes its lair in a region of Commorragh known as the Poisoned Crown, a twisted complex of toxic chimneys and vents.^[3] The Crown is encrusted with docks and moorings beyond counting, around which hangs the Flayed Skull's vast fleet of aircraft.^[4][7]
