A '''BeastmastersBeastmaster''' are is a [[Dark Eldar]] that subjugate [[Wych]] who subjugates deadly beasts for use in war or in the gladiatorial arenas of [[Commorragh]].
==Overview==
The wild hunts Beastmasters stage in the arenas remain a popular favourite of the crowds. Although the Beastmasters are part of the [[Wych Cults]], they keep themselves distant from the [[Wyches]] and are also predominantly male, unlike the mostly female Wyches.{{Fn|1}}
Some suspect that Beastmasters have roots in shamanic traditions, as when entering battle they adorn themselves in totems and masks that echo the beasts under their control. In fact, their masks contain complex sonic emitters and pheromone traps that can partially control the beasts, although all Beastmasters, even unmasked, have a natural ability to dominate lower creatures.{{Fn|1}}
Beastmasters will gladly accompany Dark Eldar raids into [[Realspace]], driving their herds of beasts into a bloodlust using whips and lures as they hover safely above the frenzy upon modified [[skyboard]]s.{{Fn|1}}
