Equipment

Weapons

An Archite, being the leader of a Wych formation, always has their most trusted weapons to hand, his Wych Weapons from when they were a lesser Wych. They are also sufficiently highly ranking to have access to the Cult's entire arsenal, allowing them to take any weapons they see fit. They are also sometimes seen riding Dark Eldar Jetbikes or Hellion Skyboards.

Armour

Archites are lightly armour to allow them to move freely and fluidly in combat although their skills are such that they can often quite easily avoid incoming attacks rather than having to block or receive them. They are less proficient, however, at avoiding incoming fire.

Retinue

Archites are often seen with a retinue of the most skilled Wyches in the cult, consisting of between 5 and 10 Wyches, often forming a bodyguard when both in and out of battle.
