My own opinions but.  
1. Sable Star, agree it can be confused with the Rising Star and Star of Merit which are giving for service to the kingdom.  However we do have this thing about Stars (do not know why).
2.  Sable Tower/Keep, I like this one.  All of us are the rocks in the foundation in this kingdom, combined we are the strength of Ansteorra.  A tower or keep was know to be the place of defense and safety in times of war.  Might work.
3.  Sable Ring, again I like this one too.  History tells that ring giving was a sign of appreciation from the king to his vassals.  It also seems to be a somewhat popular theme at least in the north of Europe.  
4.  Sable Steel, the only thing I have a problem with is the use of a furison.  I am not sure I like the use of a striking steel as symbolism, if you think here piggy piggy was bad think about someone saying Come on baby light my fire.  
5.  Sable Boar, not bad.  The boar was and is known as one tough animal.  It tusks are sharp, its charge is fierce.  
My own humble opinions of course.

  Suggestions I like so far...no particular order....

  1) Sable Star
  2) Sable Tower
  3) Sable Ring
  4) Sable Steel

  All have good symbology to work into scroll text. And all are currently clear of conflict.

  Just my 2 pence
