[[Image:Wych5e.jpg|thumb|right|A Wych{{Fn|1a}}]]
Wyches possess great variety of different kind of close combat weaponsknown collectively as '''Hekatarii Blades'''{{Fn|4}}. These are, for example, weighted flails, vambrace blades, knives, swords etcetera. Each Wych owns an elegant dagger made invidually individually for her only by artisans of [[Commorragh]]. These knives are kept in a sheath with an inbuilt sharpening field to ensure it stays eternally keen.Wyches generally also carry [[splinter pistol]]s , [[Blast Pistol]]s{{Fn|4}}, [[Phantasm Grenade Launcher]]s{{Fn|4}}, and [[plasma grenade]]s.{{Fn|1a}} In battle they can also be armed with [[haywire grenades]] and be carried into combat on a [[Venom]] or [[Raider (Dark Eldar)|Raider]].
As most of Wyches master their skills with knife and splinter pistol some choose more destructive weapons -
===Razorflails===*'''[[Agoniser]]''' - Agonisers are a favored whip-like weapon used by Wyches{{Fn|4}}.Wyches using *'''[[razorflailRazorflail]]s ''' - Wyches using razorflails are known as '''''Lacerai'''''. These weapons are a kind of retracting sword which can be wielded either as a solid blade or as a flexible whip-like series of segmented blades. Razorflails are usually wielded in pairs an are a difficult weapon to counter, as they are almost impossible to block or parry.{{Fn|1a}} ===*'''[[Shardnet ]] and [[Impaler===]]''' - '''''Yraqnae''''' are Wyches who use a [[shardnet]] and an [[impaler]]. These weapons are a lethal combination - the impaler being a long, wickedly sharp close combat weapon, whilst the electrified shardnet leaves opponents unable to strike back at the wielder. Being caught by a shardnet is an extremely painful way to die as the net constricts around its victim, cutting through flesh, muscles and bone leaving a pile of shredded gore.{{Fn|1a}} ===*'''[[Hydra Gauntlets===Gauntlet]]''' - '''''Hydrae''''' are Wyches mastered skill of using [[Hydra Gauntlet]]s. These gauntlets are extremely strange weapons of unknown origin that can grow multiple deadly crystalline blades in combat. Even though a Wych cannot control the amount of blades grown on gauntlets, they are still very lethal as they can cause many times more damage than conventional weapons.{{Fn|1a}}*[[Power Sword]]s{{Fn|4}}
