'''Wyches''', also known as '''Hekatarii'''{{Fn|3}} are gladiatorial warriors of the [[Dark Eldar]]. They each belong to one of the various [[Wych Cult]]s of [[Commoragh]]. Wyches fight in arenas in duels with one another and with various captured aliens and beasts; few survive their first duel but those who live learn quickly. Ruled over by their [[Succubus|Succubi]], who share their power with [[Syren]] and in turn the squad-leading [[Hekatrix]],{{Fn|2}} the Wyches are highly proficient at close-quarters combat, practising their skills for their entire lives. Wyches often use a cocktail of combat-enhancing [[combat drugs|drugs]] to improve their performance on the battlefield.{{Fn|2}}

Wyches possess a great variety of close combat weapons. These include [[Hekatarii Blade]]s{{Fn|4b}}, [[Punch Dagger]]s, weighted flails, [[Vambrace Blade]]s, knives and swords. Each Wych owns an elegant dagger custom made for her 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|4b}}, [[Phantasm Grenade Launcher]]s{{Fn|4b}}, 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]].
