==Wych Weaponry== The Wych Cults employ many kinds of fighting styles with any number of outlandish and unconventional weapons, though most prefer to fight with a [[Splinter Pistol]] and the traditional wicked knives of the ''Eladrith Ynneas''. ===Wych Knife=== [[File:Wych_Knife.png|200px|right|thumb|Wych Knife]] The basic and standard issue weapon of the Wyches. At first glance, there is little to distinguish these blades from a commoner’s knife or a Kabalite Warrior's flaying blade. However, subtle details of their construction, such as the pattern of serrations, the precise curvature of the blade, or the placement of perforations, influence the balance and the cuts Wych Knives inflict so that in the hands of an expert they can inflict grievous wounds and find the weaknesses in all but the toughest armor. <gallery> image:WychKnives.png|A collection of different Wych Knives. </gallery> ===Hydra Gauntlets=== [[File:Hydra_Gauntlet_2.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Hydra Gauntlets]] A pair of many-bladed gauntlets that run along the entire length of the forearm. These gauntlets are extremely strange weapons made from a flexible weave of semi-sentient, extraplanar crystals. They are smooth and glassy when inert, but it can be made to grow and shed impossible profusions of lethal crystalline blades while in combat. They are so full of crystalline [[Choppa|blades and barbs]] that they can unleash a staggering amount of blows where a normal warrior could only attack once. Hydra Gauntlets on tabletop are AP-1 weapons with an additional attack AND it lets you re-roll to Wound. Take as many on your Wyches as you can and [[RIP AND TEAR]]. <gallery> image:HydraGauntlet.png image:HydraGauntletModel.png </gallery> ===Punch Dagger=== [[image:WychPushDagger.png|200px|right|thumb|Punch Dagger]] A Punch Dagger is a Dark Eldar weapon with very little to no information. What we do know is that it is used as a concealable secondary weapon to unleash a surprise and unexpected knife to the face. Punch Daggers range from all sizes and shapes and aren't standardized, although the most common pattern of Punch Daggers resembles a long serrated blade. Some patterns are known to even resemble serrated mandibles of insectoid beasts. Because of this, Wyches are the primary users of this little nasty weapon due to its small size and ability to take opponents by surprise. Unfortunately, there aren't any rules for this weapon because of how obscure it is. In real life, punch blades are mostly used by people with more unarmed training (like boxers) since it's basically a glorified knuckle duster <gallery> image:PunchDagger.png </gallery> {{clear}} ===Razorflails=== [[File:Razor_Flail_Straight.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Razorflails]] Razorflails are close combat weapons used by Dark Eldar Wych Cults. For those of you who have played [[Video games|Soul Calibur]]: think Ivy's sword, times two. Razorflails are weapons in size and shape of a regular sword, except they can extend into a whip longer than a man and can circumvent nearly any possible known blocking or parrying technique. Wyches who specialize in these weapons are known as the Lacerai. On tabletop, these weapons are similar to Hydra Gauntlets, AP-1, +D3 attacks, re-rolls to hit for Wyches; use these if you want to chew through GEQs or deep strike a big 20 Deldar unit in the battle zone. <gallery> image:Razorflail.png|Sword and whip form. image:WychRazorflail.png </gallery> {{clear}} ===Shardnet and Impaler=== [[File:Impaler2.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Impaler]] [[File:Shardnet.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Shardnet]] The Impaler is a Dark Eldar weapon used by both Kabals and Wych Cults. It is a large monomolecular melee weapon resembling a Punisher. Whilst Shardnets are electrified nets that when entrapping its victim renders them unable to strike back. Combine, they form the traditional trident-and-net routine as made popular by Rome: a net to entangle an enemy and a polearm to finish him off. On tabletop, the Impaler is a AP-1 weapon with Damage 2. For when your Wyches need to deal with two-wound enemies like Primaris Marines. Combine with the Shardnet and the Impaler gains an extra attack. Also forces your opponent to roll-off with only a d3 when trying to fall-back. Need to hold someone's bubblewrap in place? Well, you just found the perfect option. <gallery> image:Impaler.png image:ImpalerShardnet.png|The two weapons used in tandem. </gallery> {{clear}} ===Vambrace Blade=== [[image:VambraceBlade.png|200px|right|thumb|Vambrace Blade]] ''Another'' Dark Eldar weapon with little to no information. The Vambrace Blade like the Punch Dagger is a weapon that has seen very little if no light in the [[Fluff]] and [[Crunch]] realm. It is one of ''those'' weapons that GW completely forgot it exists. It is assumed to be another Wych weapon, however it could also be a CCW of any Dark Eldar troops. From the looks of it, the Vambrace Blade seem to be a bladed tonfa. Thus, the fighting technique of these weapons would be similiar to a tonfa or police baton. Likewise, it would not be surprising if the blade itself is sharpened to a monomolecular edge like all Dark Eldar weapons. It is unknown whether this is wielded as a singular weapon, or a weapon that demands being dual-wielded for maximum potential. {{clear}} ===Weighted Flails=== [[File:WeightedFlailSide.png|200px|right|thumb|Weighted Flails]] [[Wat|''Another'' fucking Dark Eldar weapon with little to no information.]] Seriously, you would think GW would have gotten the hint to at least add ''some'' fluff behind their intellectual property right? But this time its even worse because there was an actual fucking model for it. From what we can tell, Weighted Fails were basically the Razorflail's bigger and badder brother. Just by judging the way it is handled, it is safe to assume that the Weighted Flail lacks the unique nature of turning into a sword in return for being a heavier weapon to throw at. Like the Vambrace Blade and Punch Dagger, there is no official crunch for this weapon, much to the testament of GW's [[Fail]]. They make good counts as Razorflails, at least. <gallery> image:WeightedFlail.png| image:WychRazorFlail.png|The model </gallery> {{clear}}
